A driving issue in the ongoing presidential election is legal immigration. The unbelievable Obama administration decision to abandon enforcement of existing immigration laws has been a key ingredient to the stew of discontent in the American public.
As part of the abdication of the rule of law, the porous Southern border is problematic. The solution is a mixture of structural blockade, technological monitoring using drones and surveillance, and use of increased border patrol personnel as geography and immigration patterns require.
Most people on the political center-right have resolved to “secure the border” as part of their political stump speeches and platforms. This issue has fueled the ascendancy of one GOP candidate who has proposed building a wall that Mexico will pay for.
While a Southern border wall would be no Trump Tower, businessman-turned-politician Donald Trump has a record of building things and “making things happen.”
While much of the voting populace’s anger teeters between desperate and irrational, the slowly dwindling field of Republican candidates still fights against the fact: After almost 10 years of promises, elected Republicans have delivered very little and have allowed much of the worst American president’s agenda to progress out of fear of public ridicule in the form of name-calling by the national media and the political Left.
