“And if we are hit by the terrorists again and they came in from the southern border illegally will those who forced this reduction take responsibility?”
If that happens then every single member of congress and the administration should be sent to the border with a rifle. That will be their new job. If they don’t want to do it... well, things won’t go so well for them.
How does one force those who forced this reduction to take responsibility? They’ll be behind a fence of their own, within their gated communities.
