A former Trump White House official and current Senate candidate in the hotly contested Nevada GOP primary race launched an initiative to deal with the crisis at the southern border.
The candidate, Jeff Gunter, who was the ambassador to Iceland under President Trump, announced on Saturday his “Build the Wall, Deport Them All” stand.
Mr. Gunter, who is running to unseat Democratic incumbent Sen. Jacky Rosen, is a major proponent of his former boss’ border policies. His initiative would replicate some of Mr. Trump’s measures, like continuing wall construction.
Mr. Gunter would also coordinate with local companies to identify illegal immigrants hurting business operations. That information would then be shared with the Department of Homeland Security.
Another aspect of “Deport Them All” would be a tip line to report “suspicious activity.”
“If you do not have a border, you do not have a country. And, think about it, Donald Trump put in Remain in Mexico,” Mr. Gunter told Fox News Digital, which first reported on his project. “While the asylum seekers were being processed, they had to remain in Mexico. And what did Joe Biden do? He eliminated it with the rubber stamp of Jacky Rosen.”
Mr. Gunter has also pledged to inject the project with $1 million of his own money.
The investment, he said, would go toward building a website and the reporting feature. His out-of-pocket expense would also create an ad campaign to inform people about the project.
Mr. Gunter’s spending spree won’t end with his new border plan. He has promised to spend millions on his primary run against retired Army Capt. Sam Brown, who has the backing of the Senate’s campaign arm, the National Republican Senatorial Committee. The primary is scheduled for June 11.

But not so sure about Ambassador Gunter. He has a history of funding Cheny, Collins, and others.
There are ten Republicans vying for the nomination.
Employers might be required to send paychecks for a new employee to the USCIS for employment eligibility verification until one of the checks is bank processed.
It is easy and cheap to financially starve them out.
We need to ‘wall off’ our money via tax caps in the federal and state constitutions.
Add to that two Democrats challenging Jacky Rosen, Mike Schaefer and Troy Walker.
Plus seven other candidates:
“If you do not have a border, you do not have a country. And, think about it, Donald Trump put in Remain in Mexico,” Mr. Gunter told Fox News Digital, which first reported on his project. “While the asylum seekers were being processed, they had to remain in Mexico. And what did Joe Biden do? He eliminated it with the rubber stamp of Jacky Rosen.”
be encouraged by every little advance.
George Washington was losing every day, right up to the day he started winning.
THE Ed Ueling, or the other one? I always worry about the effect of having, in this case, 19 randos going for the gig

How Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico
By John Dillin

Yes, this is not a perfect situation doing something like this. But not doing anything is worse.
Note the followoing:
Profits from illegal labor led to the kind of corruption that apparently worried Eisenhower. Joseph White, a retired 21-year veteran of the Border Patrol, says that in the early 1950s, some senior US officials overseeing immigration enforcement “had friends among the ranchers,” and agents “did not dare” arrest their illegal workers.
Walt Edwards, who joined the Border Patrol in 1951, tells a similar story. He says: “When we caught illegal aliens on farms and ranches, the farmer or rancher would often call and complain [to officials in El Paso]. And depending on how politically connected they were, there would be political intervention. That is how we got into this mess we are in now.”
Bill Chambers, who worked for a combined 33 years for the Border Patrol and the then-called US Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), says politically powerful people are still fueling the flow of illegals.
.......
One of Swing’s first decisive acts was to transfer certain entrenched immigration officials out of the border area to other regions of the country where their political connections with people such as Senator Johnson would have no effect.
Then on June 17, 1954, what was called “Operation Wetback” began. .....................................
Encouraging!
In a crowded field a candidate needs a way to stand out
Barring any weirdness, he’d have my vote, if I lived there.
Americs needs Jeff Gunter and people like him badly to correct the massive dsmage Obozo/Biden White House has done.
Sam Brown, disfigured face and all, is leading the GOP. He won’t win in Nov. Sympathy votes won’t do it.
“Sam Brown, who has the backing of the Senate’s campaign arm, the National Republican Senatorial Committee. “
Sounds like Gunter is the guy to support, based upon who’s backing Brown.
Much less so when they can sign up for benefits at the local welfare office and work for cash under the table.
The recent caravans of illegals are not only enabled the whole way here by Non-Government Organizations (paid for by us so government can deny), they're coached to register wherever and however possible as part of paying back their import.
Most of them end up paying the smugglers for years but that, like the child and sex-slave traffic, remain forbidden to address while the Democrat Party retains power and sources to blackmail their would-be opponents.
Trump's gonna need a whole new branch just to fix stuff.
