Pat Buchanan made it a issue in 1996, that he would build a 2000 mile fence. He was rejected then and the GOP will help to reject similar concerns today.

The GOP stall on such issues, I have no faith that any R or D will do anything about it.

The border wall/fence was passed into law a while back. It's the executive branch that has balked at building all of it, mainly Obama.

Pat Buchanan. Glad you brought him up. Local and national talk radio and TV all loved to have Pat as a guest and ridicule him for running 5th in a 4 party race for President. Virtually nobody agreed with him or voted for him. Hosts ridiculed him for being the only anti-immigrant conservative and taking the big government side on that issue.

Virtually all conservatives held the capitalist position of let-the-free-market-decide.

Post 2001 people looked for a scapegoat. It wasn’t politically correct to attack Muslims who controlled our oil. So the invasion from the South became the scapegoat.
