If anyone can seal the border, Donald Trump can. But can even he wrestle back control after President Biden’s “nation-wrecking nightmare” (Trump’s words)
Trump would “seek to re-establish” his “Migrant Protection Protocols,” which saw Department of Homeland Security refuse entry to those apprehended at the southern border, but allow them to stay in Mexico pending their removal proceedings.
Since 1997, all Trump’s predecessors possessed this potent statutory tool, yet only Trump used it. MPP took away aliens’ incentive to make bogus claims of fear to secure release into the U.S. DHS found it “indispensable,” resulting in “a rapid and substantial decline in apprehension[s].” Pre-COVID, MPP was truly the MVP of border security.
Stephen Miller, Trump’s former immigration advisor, promises that Trump will again invoke Title 42, under which “we would send … straight back home” aliens entering illegally (Trump’s words). Since WWII, all Trump’s predecessors possessed this potent statutory tool, yet only Trump used it.
Trump would “push to revive” his “asylum cooperative agreements,” allowing DHS to send asylum-seekers to amenable countries to seek protection. Since 1997, all Trump’s predecessors possessed this potent statutory tool, yet only Trump used it.
Trump “will revoke” the student visas of “radical anti-American and antisemitic foreigners” and institute “strong ideological screening” — “If you want to abolish … Israel…. [i]f you’re a communist … you are disqualified” (his words). If Trump has the will, federal law has the way:
Biden, Dems face ‘rude awakening’ as Hispanics angry about lax border policies defect to Trump
“Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens … would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may … suspend the[ir] entry,” the law states.
It’s the same reason the Supreme Court upheld Trump’s “travel ban,” as the statute “exudes deference to the President.”

The problem is not the border; it’s the jobs and freebies illegals get when they come here. That needs to end and the law banning such is already in place - section 1324 title 8. That law makes it a federal felony to encourage illegals to come here. So it’s a felony to hire them or let them use our schools or even rent them an apt.
1. Wall
2. Bounty
3. Harsh penalty for any company hiring illegals.
4. No federal funds for assistance either directly or through NGOs.
“There are 20 million illegals. You cannot deport 20 million people. “
For the millionth time, we don’t have to deport them. They will leave on their own if we enforce section 1324 title 8 and deny them jobs and freebies and housing .
BTW - the number of illegals is more like 60 million.
Land mines and motion triggered automated weapons systems would be a good start.
