Ahh, you're arguing semantics.... MAGA style security is shoot to kill, those trying to tend gardens and pick fruit.
Actually it's anything that will stop them. A known proven philosophy that the left hates is the fact a strong enough deterrent works every time it's tried.
If I broke into your house one night to rob you, and you made me a fresh pot of coffee, even brought out home made brownies, then fetched me the money and jewelry I came there for and never called police, do you think that would stop me from breaking into your home again? Not only will I'll be back, but I'm going to tell my criminal friends and family about your house too.
This is what's going on at our border. If we don't provide some kind of reasonable deterrent, they are going to keep coming.
Trump announced no more filing phony asylum claims. You want to apply for asylum, do so at your US embassy. If you make it to our border to apply, you will be immediately be rejected if it's found you were offered asylum by another country along the way. While your application is being processed, you pitch a tent and wait in Mexico. If you're still there by the time your court date comes up, you will be escorted to court, and escorted back over the border to Mexico if the court rejects it. He told Mexico if they want to keep their US aid, they better stop people from crossing their country to get to ours, and that's exactly what they did.
Deterrents work whether it's Trump's policies or guards in towers shooting down trespassers. If we don't start providing deterrents, this problem will only get worse.
