Yet polls reflect how frustrated American voters are with the failure of both Republicans and Democrats to secure the border. Immigration has once again soared to the top of the ‘most important issues’ list because Washington has demonstrated it is woefully unprepared to implement commonsense immigration enforcement.”

“If I think things are getting out of control, I have no problem using the military,” he said. “We have to have security in our country. We have to have law and order in our country. I think the National Guard is going to do the job to get us there either way.”
