As far as immigration, It isn’t new or special as it was an issue in 2008 and a huge crisis in 2014. Enough kicking the can down the road as it only becomes more problematic and expensive. If we take the term “wall” out of the equation there still isn’t enough funding being included for HHS. Heck we give other countries more money annually than what is being requested.

I'm sympathetic to the idea that we need to hire more border guards.
And I agree that we need more immigration judges and more staff at the places where we detain the immigrants to sort out which ones get to stay. I agree that we need to build more of these kinds of places.
I just really don't see how a new continuous, solidsolid is going to help. It seems extremely impractical, and simplistic, and arbitrary. So by all means take the wall out of the equation.
