Which border? Most sex workers don't enter via land, and the worst drugs don't either.

You can’t tighten “the border” without tightening all borders. Land, sea, air, visa overstays, etc.

They didn't say CLOSE the borders, they said tighten.

You can increase border effectiveness in a number of different ways.

Even incremental improvements can reduce contraband flow.

What do you think happens to vulnerable children smuggled by the cartels?
