Yes, understands the machine/politics/constitution.
How do electric fences with machine guns on the border and Empowerment zones fit with the constitution?
The machine and the Constitution are not the same thing nor are they a continuum, not sure your point.
Protecting the border regardless of details is one of the mandated functions of the Fedgov.
Empowerment zones are most assuredly not.
I don’t see any current candidate that I like at all. A couple I could vote for if I have a barf bag handy. Whoopee...
Maybe he could call for reparation zones around the border?? Two birds with one stone.
