Admitting the United States cannot protect our borders from migrants or terrorists.

Considering that the American people aren't willing to put up the money and personnel needed, that's a true statement. In case you didn't notice, we have about 19,900 miles of borders and coastline to secure.

If you just closed the Mexican border off, that still leaves 17,800 miles of border and coastline wide-open.

I am opposed to putting troops on the borders or shutting down the borders, but they should not shut down the sweeps.

We need some efforts against illegal immigration, even though it largely is a lost cause and impossible to stop.
