Secure The Border Before It Is Too Late

With an army of 10,000 migrants closing in on the Southern border, The White House is considering a range of options including a temporary halt to asylum. On Friday, it was reported that approximately 1,000 troops would be deployed to the border to provide additional resources to the U.S. Border Patrol. While this will be a good first step, it is woefully inadequate. The entire 2,000-mile border with Mexico should be secured with a heavy presence of our military and National Guard, The time is now for President Donald Trump to take dramatic action to secure the border. Any bold steps he takes will have the support of the American people. For decades, Americans have been promised border security, but we have never received anything but hollow rhetoric from both parties.
