The Border Discussion: Politically Charged and Divisive

Guest: Chief Chris Clem; Former Chief Border Patrol Agent in Partnership with Americans For Prosperity

**Jerry could not make it for this episode but was there in spirit!

Immigration should not be conflated with border security.

Immigration and border security are related they are not mutually

exclusive.

The false choices that our politicians give us are unfair.


There was a system years ago – it was more than just walls;

Access roads, Technology, Meeting Requirements

of Border Patrol Agents, Cameras, Sensors, etc.

This has only become politically charged and divisive in the last several years.

Both Democrats and Republicans at one time understood the immigration issue 

This has become a humanitarian issue; trafficking of people and children, drugs, rape,

Unaccompanied minors unaccounted for. 85,000 lost children. Where are they? What has happened to them? Why do we not care?

It is as though the US Government is creating or at the

least closing the trafficking circle.

When IF the border is once again secure, and the back log

cleaned up – we can reduce and mitigate opportunities for human
exploitation.    

Public Safety and National Security is the issue.
