Any candidate who wins and then ignores border security for amnesty won’t win a second term, and may not finish the first if he campaigns on securing the border as a prerequisite to dealing with the illegal aliens living here at our sufferance.
And he won’t win if he does not ... see, circular reasoning is easy.
‘Securing’ the border is ‘a term’ every one of them use...including Trump. None have mentioned closing our borders even on a temporary basis. And they all will have one form of amnesty or another...they will simply change the “term” they use in defining it.
Dealing with the “illegals” means to politicians how to make them legal with the least amount of blowback from the public. They won’t be sending them home...at best they’ll send back the bad ones but it won’t go much further than that.
I say this because if any candidate or politician pushes too hard they’ll be in the streets.....history has shown this. And it always works in their favor when they do.
