The thing is, Trump needs to BUILD THE WALL.
Or else, the first week of a new administration, whenever that is, all of the progress will reverse.
All of it. Completely.
Build the wall, Trump.
Imagine THAT ...... “When you enforce the law....things happen! ..... it’s a Miracle!
You’d think someone would be reporting on a strong correlation between decreased illegal immigration and decreased gun sales since January.
This is all well and good.
But we need real progress - like fining and/or imprisoning employers, taking away all manner of freebies, withholding taxpayer dollars to sanctuary cities (jailing the mayor), and making English the official language.
The changes have to be structural; baked into the cake, so to speak, and not just because of who happens to be Chief Executive at the time.
(I don't know what else to call it but the Deplorable Agenda. Traditional "Republicans" and "conservatives" don't espouse it except during campaign season)
All it took was the will to do it.
SECRET: America ia still a "can do" country. Believe it.
Trump didn’t need to build the wall to get these results. I certainly wish he would build the wall, but the threat of enforcement and the threat of deportation has fortunately resulted in a drop in illegal crossings all by itself.
If there is no forward progress on building a wall, then these reductions are likely to evaporate.
In the meanwhile, I would suspect that a large percentage of the remaining illegal crossings can be attributed to drug smuggling operations. Thus, the encounters by Border Patrol agents are probably more dangerous.
All it takes is enforcing the laws.
I have been saying it for years but the GOP was determined to prevent us from electing anyone who would do it.
In every election since the last amnesty, the GOP has only nominated amnesty candidates committed to continuing the 30 year bipartisan policy of non-enforcement.
Trump broke through the Uniparty blockade.

Border Patrol union chief praises "miraculous" drop in illegal immigration under Trump http://washex.am/2t7VPWe
Good. Crime will go down.
WINNING!!!!!!
Sorry, but words mean something (thanks Rush)...
APPREHENSIONS are down 53%
That does NOT mean that attempts to cross into the USA are down 53%.
For years, we have been told that ONLY about 10% of those crossing into the USA from our southern birder have been caught.
Let’s ask for some really clear facts & figures.
As a life long bookkeeper-—I can assure you that 2 + 2 is NOT 22.
