“Which candidate is most likely to follow through, in your opinion ? “
Very good question.
My cynical; not trusting of any politician mindset; says none of them!
But I think Cruz would be the best.
Trump maybe; but not sure I trust him. Trump has put so much emphasis on a fence (a solution I don’t think will ever be done) that I don’t believe him.
I find a fence something that sounds good in a speech; but which will never be done; or take 10 years.
Patrolling the area with the Guard could be done; and done instantly I would think; and it would work.
Once the border is secure; people will quit trying to cross it.
I respectfully disagree. As Trump says, building a wall isn’t hard, building a 93 story skyscraper is. A wall is as symbolic as it is functional. And we know we are not starting from scratch. Some areas are adequately sealed now, some are unnecessary to seal, so a ten year estimate is an excuse to not follow through. There is only one reason we are constantly told a wall will not work. Because it will, and they know it.
As we have seen, boots on the ground are highly effective, but can be removed or directed to not engage.
Cruz has made it clear he wants to work in immigration policy that has bipartisan support. That means some undetermined level of enforcement that later triggers legalization (amnesty). A very familiar tune. That along with his desire to dramatically increase work visas makes him more than a little problematic.
