It's a nice fantasy, but I can't envision any scenario where this could actually happen. And without a serious continuous defense line I don't know what the point would be, they'd just come right back in. Emptying your boat of water with a bucket doesn't do anything if you still have a huge hole in the bottom of your boat. And besides, this would last for what, one term? Until the next Dem is back in? I hate what's happened, but this will never get fixed, he might as well be saying he'll reduce the national debt to zero. The biggest hurdle is him ever getting back in office anyway. So... good luck.
You really don't see what accountability does within the system. If a parent tells a child they'll be punishment for an improper action and they follow thru when it does, watch the child's obedience level increase.
They've already been conditioned in the other direction for decades, forever really, We've
never been serious about having a border. Ever. I grew up in Laredo and we had ranches in the area near the "border" and even when I was a kid in the 70s you'd see long lines of illegals marching up and down the highways together seasonally and every ranch I ever saw used illegals almost exclusively for ranch work. They'd go back and forth across the river for holidays and such repeatedly completely without hindrance.
In the early 2000s my sister married a border patrol officer and I went on patrol with him a couple times at night after signing releases and such and the pursuits never seemed to stop, even tens of miles from the border. They even caught dozens in a train car one of those nights I was with them. The whole thing is a joke. My mom took me down the river just a little ways one visit in the 90s to show me them just literally walking across the shallow parts of the Rio Grande in the open.
Yes, it's even worse now because the government is actively encouraging and even participating in the invasion and increased worldwide media has made it plain as day there will be no consequences, I'm sure decades ago most people wouldn't have just assumed you could come over from any continent and just walk in but now
everybody knows it.
There's a reason why nearly 40 years ago they were already granting amnesty to millions. And then look:
Despite the passage of the act, the population of illegal immigrants rose from 5 million in 1986 to 11.1 million in 2013.Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 - WikipediaSo this is a sustained thing from both parties that's never been any different. So even if Trump gets back in, which I doubt will happen, and tries to get serious, the flood will restart as so as he leaves the White House. They'll take it as seriously as 14-year-olds do when they have a substitute teacher for the day. Hell, there are probably 50 million people here who came here illegally or are the immediate children of those that came illegally over the past 50 years.
