No, I’m correct. There is not a candidate out there saying we should not close the border down tight. Some favor a fence, and some a combination of a partial fence, technology, and troops.
I prefer a fence, technology, and troops. I hate to put military troops on the border, so I’d change the name of the entire reserve program to “reserve”, and I’d make the #1 mission of the National Guard to be just that...guarding the nation’s borders and the Coast GUARD guards our coasts.
The border patrol would be incorporated into the national guard.
While these are essentially name changes, I’d take a huge chunk of the current National Guard and actually leave them with the new National Guard and utilize their part-time nation to supplement the full time element coming from the Border Patrol. It would greatly expand with the 2 week annual time on the border and the one weekend a month.
“No, I’m correct. There is not a candidate out there saying we should not close the border down tight. Some favor a fence, and some a combination of a partial fence, technology, and troops.”
You said that “everyone is agreed” to secure the border, not that all of the candidates, despite their pasts, are SAYING that they want a secure border. Again, the proof is in the actions, and we simply don’t have a secure border. What you’re saying is like saying that all the candidates agree that we should have a strong economy - true, but meaningless.
My point being is whether these candidates have put their money where their mouths are. If they get all soft and compassionate about Illegals that are here, it’s really, really, hard to see how they can give shoot-to-kill orders at our borders...which will be necessary if we are to secure it.
Just won’t be done.
