Closing the border will put pressure on Mexico and our Congress to act to stop this train wreck. Mexico does not allow illegal immigration into their country, but for years has allowed illegals to travel through to ours.
Due to the court rulings, Congress needs to rewrite our laws on asylum. Congress also needs to rewrite our other immigration laws so that they can actually be enforced.
I would rather see this country shut down all immigration than close the border; get out of treaties that obligate us to accept anyone on the door step for asylum. Just stop allowing any immigration for any reason until we get this under control. Finish those in the process but shut it down.
The border is out of control, our immigration laws are out of control. This has been decades in the making but we have to regain control.
Can’t close without wall
