Here is one order summarized.
Multi-pronged orders on border security and immigration enforcement including: the authorization of a U.S.-Mexico border wall; the stripping of federal grant money to sanctuary cities; hiring 5,000 more Border Patrol agents; ending “catch-and-release” policies for illegal immigrants; and reinstating local and state immigration enforcement partnerships.
I don't see any issues with this. I don't see what's to debate here. More border security agents? Yes please. Building a wall to increase security on our border? Sure why not it was a campaign promise. Stripping federal funds from sanctuary cities? 100% agree. You don't get to pick and choose what laws you want to follow. Ending catch and release? Absolutely. Never should of been that way to begin with.
Please feel free to point out your objections and I will be happy to discuss minus anyone's emotions or virtue signaling.
The so called wall will not stop illegal immigration, at best it may slow it.
People will find a way to cross the border regardless, if you need a proof look no further than the West Bank wall or Berlin Wall.
Rounding up and deporting existing illegal residents is an exercise in futility because it won't be long before they are back or replaced by others.
As long as the incentives for people to risk life or limb in pursuit of a better life exists neither a wall or fire is going to stop them.
Now let us assume that immigration illegal or not is an issue to begin with which I don't believe it is but just an assumption.
Wouldn't you think that eliminating the incentives is a better solution for the problem?
Perhaps a joint economic/industrial zone on the border instead of a wall. It certainly won't cost taxpayers $25 billion dollars and it will actually create jobs at both sides.
