“Election-year politics”? He was elected over a year and a half ago. If he is talking about the November elections, he doesn’t have a leg to stand on. He’s going to loose all support in November. Since he was elected, he has done nothing to control the border. I believe all the additional personnel sent to the border were scheduled to do so prior to his election.
As for control of the border, he should enforce the existing laws. Then he would find out what works and doesn’t work. To start over is a waste of time and energy and will accomplish nothing and he knows it.
As for immigration, it was used in our past to build this country into what it is today. As of now, we are over 330 million strong. We really don’t require millions of new immigrants. Immigrants should be allowed into our country as we need them and a limit put on the quantity per year.
I completely agree. In my opinion, we need a time-out until things are cleaned up. Europe is learning the hard-way about essentially unrestricted immigration (some of it forced on them by the EU via anyone who claims they need "amnesty").
