If the border is not being secured, hands are tied on Border Patrol agents doing their job, deportation is very unlikely as in the past you would be correct.
With a major crackdown taking place correcting all of those things not so much. It won’t take long for word to spread that coming here will not be easy, staying here will be harder, odds of getting deported growing by the day. I also expect they will find the jobs and freebies drying up shortly.
Just building the wall or any real barrier and increased enforcement is a message that illegally immigrating to the U.S. is no longer welcome and we are serious about that.
We have been as a country welcoming illegal immigration with open arms for many years, that has encouraged all of this beyond all belief.
Yeah, and gun control will mean no more gun crimes, too.
Enforcement will be so easy to effect.
