I see your point...
Securing the border is going to take 2-3 years at the least; what you suggest should be implemented concurrently.
Actually, all proposals should be implemented ASAP.
Correct.
IMO the run on the borders was, in part, fabricated by a deliberately incompetent and artificially constrained legal immigration system. NO ONE on capitol hill would fight fixing it. Including it in our focus makes life very difficult for the race baiters and properly frames them as complicit in a tacit slave class. Advocacy for fixing that problem is an astute political move that costs very little.
