Why is enforcing laws and securing the border a racial thing? Just say that you are going to enforce the law vigorously. If they make racial then it is on them not you Trump.
I've been saying the following for over 3 decades: I don't care if an illegal alien is from Mexico, Canada, Scotland (my heritage), or anywhere else. I also don't care if they're white, black, brown, yellow, green or purple. If they are here illegally, including expired visas, they should be deported. Period.
It's time to ask the Republican candidates about a double wall in strategic access areas only. California built a double wall back in the 90's along a small portion of our border. It reduced illegal alien crossings by about 95%.
Let's forget about the entire border, it only needs to be built where there are border towns and/or staging areas along highways close to the border. Every where else in the southwest has huge expanses of desert where it would be suicide to attempt. The above is something even the "pathway to citizenship" types could get behind. It would also shut down the Liberal arguments about the cost of a wall along the entire southern border.
