I think he meant protect the border? But seriously would it be any better Jawbone? Hell the border patrols hand are tied and they can't even do their jobs because of all the politics, and they've done released nearly all the folks they arrested in the ICE raids in Mississippi, they've got to start shipping those damn folks back or prosecuting them.
They can build the wall and then man it, freeing up ICE to work on processing the ton of backlogged cases and get the mess cleared up while Congress gets off their asses and passes laws that are reasonable and enforceable.
