To whatever extent walls or fences work, we already have them. In 2006, Bush proposed funding to beef up border fences and Democrats concurred and voted for it. By the time Obama took office in January 2009, fencing had been completed. Since then, every single year for the last ten years, illegal border crossings on the southern border have steadily declined to the point that there are now far more illegal border crossings from the NORTHERN border with Canada, and by far the greatest source of undocumented residency is from those flying into airports from Europe or Asia with valid but TEMPORARY student or tourist visas who simply don’t go home when their visas expire.
Southern border crossings are at a 46-year low (thanks, Obama!).
There is no “emergency” on the southern border.
Democrats have proposed $1.3 BILLION dollars for electronic monitoring of visa overstays and increased inspections and screenings of vehicles and cargo containers that would address the actual border entry security issues that exist.
For Trump to reject REAL border security reforms and ignore the real source of unlawful immigration from Canada or from visa overstays shows that he does not give a rat’s patootie about border security: his “concern” is 100% racist fear of brown skin and trying to save face now that he has been caught his LIE about MEXICO paying for a wall.
At what point will the gullible CONservative suckers wake up and realize they got CONNED by a scam artist.
