IT'S IN THE CONSTITUTION!
Why is the 101st Abn Div in ROMANIA and not on our BORDER???

Individual governors stand a better chance of success.
Without a Bundy Standoff by the militia, there is little chance of a closed leak proof border.
On a political solution, passing a law making ANY benefits off the table would slow down the grifters and moochers/sponges.
