What was the extent of "Securing the borders"?

 

Perhaps it starts by plugging the known holes that exist.  How that is done would require assistance from the National Guard in some situations.  At other places, continue a fence.  Patrol the boarder and make policy stand.

 

Short story regarding my personal experience.  I was a Deputy Sheriff in Albuquerque, N.M. back in my younger years.  I can remember arresting a guy who was obviously an illegal.  As I was taking him to jail, I said to him that he was going to be deported.  He laughed at me and said that he would be back on the next train coming north.

 

I arrested him again about a week later.  It's that easy for people to cross our borders illegally.

 

What was he arrested for?  The first time that I arrested him was for violence.  He was a part of a mob that attacked us (police officers) at a bar as it closed down.  Second time that I arrested him was for DUI (DWI was the actual term).

 

The first time that he was arrested and deported, it was for a violent crime against police officers.  The second time it was for driving drunk.  Is this an "upstanding citizen" or someone that wants to really assimilate into our society?  Should he be given protection by the so-called "sanctuary cities"?

 

Take a look at some of the trains coming into our country.  Is that not a deliberate hole that needs to be plugged?
