INTRODUCTION: |
|
BACKGROUND: SECURE
FENCE ACT [SFA - 2006] - SECURING AMERICA’S BORDER
ACT [SABA - 2006]. GOP Senator Majority leader Bill
Frist was the major Senate mover for the SFA & SABA
(2006) in protecting America’s borders along with
Senior Policy Advisors Bill Wichterman, Cherie
Harder, Chuck Floyd and Bruce J. Moran. Senator
Frist & Chuck Floyd designed and planned the U.S.
Border Security High Tech double fence/road/barriers
system and adaptations [land, air & water]
(top-bottom). Our team had advanced key critical
strategic and tactical operations to protect our
Southern U.S. border (California, Texas, New Mexico
& Arizona). Major critical National Security threats
have demonstrably grown. Over the last 18 years
[911-attacks], several administrations and Congress
have not fully addressed the severe transnational
nature of the National Security threat. Tremendous
pressures are placed on law enforcement and
supporting services personnel where essential and
critical border security needs are not met. New
border security personnel must be hired. Updated
hi-tech equipment is necessitated. A Comprehensive
Border Layered Solution is needed for our law
enforcement border personnel and supporting
emergency services: including but not limited to:
Customs Border Patrol [CBP], ICE, DEA, FBI, ATF,
State, County & Local Police, SWAT teams, 911 center
personnel, fire, local hospital services,
detention/holding centers and judicial
personnel/centers. President Trump is now moving
this major National Security Crisis Comprehensive
Border Layered Solution front and center for passage
[funding] by the U.S. House and U.S. Senate.
Many thanks to President Donald Trump and DHS
Secretary Kristjen Nielson for tirelessly standing
up to ensure our U.S. Southern Border is fully
protected.

LOCAL CITIZENS
LIVING ON OR NEAR THE U.S. SOUTHERN BORDER LIVES
MATTER: With the great on-going pressures and
demands placed on border law enforcement and
supporting service personnel, their requests for a
proper and fitting border security program have gone
unanswered. These daily pressing border problems
leave local U.S. citizens holding the bag. Local
residents are constantly dealing with: illegal
aliens, criminals, gangs, cartels, arms dealers,
children/young women traffickers, money-movers
(launderers) and transnational terrorists. There is
a constant high influx of illegal individuals,
including caravans on the U.S. Southern border.
Ports of Entry are purposefully circumvented which
cause the local citizenry tremendous hardships.
These U.S. citizens who live on or near [within 15
miles plus] of the Southern U.S. border have to
always be on-guard and fear for their personal
safety. Over the last 18 years, many U.S. border
citizens, individually or collectively -- families,
friends, neighbors, private entrepreneurs and
tourists -- have been victims of continuous
harassment, intimidation, threats and serious crimes
[felonies 1st Degree Murder]. As such these illegal
individuals [certain cartel hitmen] boldly and
sometimes heavily armed pass through local farms &
ranches, small business properties, little villages
& towns and larger cities, including the U.S.
government borderland, preparing themselves and/or
illegal contraband to disappear into the greater
United States

CRIMES NEAR THE MEXICAN BORDER -- UNITED STATES DOJ |
“Almost 50 percent of
federal crimes were committed near the Mexico
border. A report from the Department of Justice
(DOJ) in 2014 found the following, via Judicial
Watch: ….most of the offenses were immigration
related. In fact, 38.6% of all federal cases
(23,744) filed last year involved immigration, the
DOJ report confirms. Nearly 22% (13,383) were drug
related, 19.7% (12,123) were violent crimes and
10.2% (6,300) involved white-collar offenses that
include a full range of frauds committed by business
and government professionals.” |

“Every time
politicians and media discuss border security, one
particular group of people is paying very close
attention: Mexican cartels.” (Commentary: The
Mexican Cartels Do Not Want – In Any Form Or Fashion
– For President Trump To Succeed With His
“Comprehensive Border Security Layered Program - It
Is Not Just A Wall/Fence/Barrier – It is everything
that goes along with it [Layered Border Security]–
they fear and loathe full all out border security
measures – the Cartels will then have to be
constantly on guard, living in fear and always have
to look over their shoulders. Cartels know how to
exploit every weakness on the border. Cartels
constantly are testing and seeking every border
vulnerability point. President Trump is looking to
completely turn the tables on the Transnational
Narco-Terrorism Cartels -- It starts with a
comprehensive border security layered program.
“Every day, every minute, some penetration of the
Texas border, California border, New Mexico border,
Arizona border—every minute, someone is preparing to
send a load in, or traffick humans in, or some type
of criminal activity is going on. Every minute of
every day. That’s their job, that’s what they’re
committed to do, that’s how they get paid. And
that’s what we’re up against.”…“[The Cartels]
maintain drug distribution cells in designated
cities across the United States that either report
directly to TCO [Cartel] leaders in Mexico or
indirectly through intermediaries,” according to the
Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) 2017
national drug threat assessment.”
“The Cartel leadership in Mexico gets more
sophisticated the higher up the ranks you go,
Coleman said…They [The Cartel Leaders] carry 15 to
20 different cellphones, they never let anyone buy
from them that they don’t know and haven’t vetted,
and they’re moving constantly, “because we are
always tracking them in Mexico.”
“You have to at some point pay something [to the
Cartels]. Sadly, a lot of women pay with their
bodies,” she said last year. “There are cases where
the women—with the expectation of getting
raped—prepare themselves by getting on birth control
… for the purpose of the journey.”
“Cartels also pressure juveniles to transport drugs
across the border; thousands of children cross the
border every day to attend school.” |

“[Guatemalan President

“100 ISIS members [had
been] ID'd, detained and then deported back to their
own country from Guatemala. How many ISIS members
did the Guatemalan government miss that crossed the
Mexico border?” Did certain ISIS members: 1) stick
with the caravan 2) meet up with other recent ISIS
members who crossed the border 3) join forces with
Cartels or other transnational terrorist or criminal
groups 4) or will they quickly disappear with other
ISIS members already established and embedded
(network) in Mexico then sneak across the border to
the U.S. |

SPECIAL NOTE:
U.S. Government needs to check and cross-check (find
out) not only if these 100 member ISIS figures hold
true, but find out each of the ISIS member’s country
of origin; and the U.S. Government needs to further
investigate their travel (many routes they took) to

Anthony Joseph
Tracy (a.k.a. Yusuf Noor) was convicted
on June 4, 2010, of conspiring to smuggle aliens
into the U.S. Tracy told federal investigators that
Cuban diplomats used his travel agency in Nairobi,
Kenya — Noor Services Ltd. — to transfer 272 Somalis
from Kenya to Dubai to Moscow and then to Havana.
From there, they traveled to Belize, transited
Mexico, and then trespassed into America. One U.S.
prosecutor complained that officials had “no idea
who these individuals are that he assisted.” Tracy
pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to smuggle
non-citizens into the U.S. “ (Comment: U.S. Embassy

Ahmad Muhammed Dhakane was a “guerrilla
fighter and human smuggler who knowingly helped move
into the U.S. several potentially dangerous Somali
terrorists who he believed would commit violent acts
if ordered to do so,” the Texas Department of Public
Safety concluded. Citing federal court documents,
the Christian Science Monitor reported, “At least
five of his clients were supporters or members of Al
Shabab or associated Somali terror groups — and at
least three of them made it into the US.” (Emphasis
added.) Ahmed Muhammed had been connected to Al-Ittihad
Al-Islami (AIAI) and al-Barakat, both specially
designated terrorist organizations.
“According to U.S. intelligence officials, al-Itihaad
cooperated with the al-Qaeda operatives who carried
out the 1998 United States embassy bombings in
Nairobi and Dar es Salaam that killed 224 people.”

THE WALL/BARRIER/FENCE
TECHNOLOGY: There is a National Security Crisis
which requires a full comprehensive U.S. Southern
Border Layered strategic and tactical operations
plan which President Trump keeps emphasizing since
his campaign days [2016] (which have not been
forthcoming since our country has been attacked
since 911—and Congress passed the Secure Fence Act
2006). The Crisis Readiness/Crisis Preparedness
portion of our U.S. Southern Border has been grossly
disregarded. Gross negligence by Congress is the
term which comes to the forefront of the mind. Is it
not Congress’s solemn duty to defend and protect the
American people? |
“All of the great
leaders have had one characteristic in common: it
was the willingness to confront unequivocally the
major anxiety of their people in their time. This,
and not much else, is the essence of leadership.” |

WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS:
KIDS LIVES MATTER! Mexico and the United States have
never directly and properly addressed the inherent
problem (neglect, abuse and suffering) with stopping
unaccompanied children (refugees) 60,000 up 25%
(2018)* crossing through Mexico into the Southern
Border of the United States. What measures is the
U.S. Congress [U.S. House Committee Foreign Affairs
& U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee] proposing
to stop unaccompanied children coming from/through
Mexico certain of those children have traveled from
the Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador (making a
1,000 plus mile trek)? |
|
U.S. Congress and the
United Nations have not dealt effectively with the
funding (appropriations) and treatment of people
(human rights) in the Honduras, Guatemala and El
Salvador. |

UNITED NATIONS OFFICE
ON DRUGS & CRIME [UNODC] (2019) |
|
http://www.unodc.org/ropan/en/HumanTrafficking/human-trafficking.html
|
|
Within its mandate,
UNODC for Central America and the Carribean… seeks
to strengthen the existing mechanisms on border
control. … The focus of the project on human
trafficking and the smuggling of migrants is to
strengthen international cooperation and
coordination for the exchange of accurate and
up-to-date information and the facilitation of
mutual legal assistance for preventing and combating
human trafficking and smuggling of migrants. |
|
If this problem with
human trafficking and smuggling of migrants has
existed for thirty (30) plus years, how effective is
the UNODC mandate? What realistic changes need to
occur on the operations side of the UNODC mandate in
order for the United Nations to directly address the
Transnational Cartel Narco-Networks who successfully
run human trafficking and migrant smuggling
operations in Central America and on the U.S.
Southern Border? It appears the UNODC puts a small
very small patch on a very large dam. Have the
Mexican Cartels effectively taken power and control
over most matters on the ground as it relates to
human trafficking and migrant smuggling rendering
the UNODC to only be an ineffective mouthpiece to
Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons,
especially Women and Children? |
|
Does this “seeks to”
with the UNODC sound familiar with the way Congress
“seeks to” secure our U.S. borders --- for the past
18 years? How many “seeks to’s” are needed before
our U.S. Southern border is soundly secured?
President Trump does NOT “seek to” secure the U.S.
Southern border. |
|
President Trump Has
Directly Acted To Properly and Fittingly Deal With A
COMPREHENSIVE Border Layered Security PLAN for our
U.S. Southern Border only to be met with great
opposition and resistance from Congress who “seeks
to’ move politically on the U.S. Southern border
since the SECURE FENCE ACT was signed into law
(2006) by President George W. Bush..

the expansion the Cartel operations and business –
which has greatly expanded in the United States
since 2001 creating a heroin (opiod) epidemic in the
last 5 years along with the increasing on-going

This is not only a War On Drugs but a War On The
Average American Citizen Waged By The Cartels.
These multiple sophisticated highly bankrolled (tens
of billions of dollars plus (see below) Cartels,
work alone or in concert, creating constant daily
strife (trials & tribulations) bringing untold
havoc, mayhem and heinous crimes throughout the
United States and around the world (transnational

WHAT IS THE ‘REAL’
DOLLAR COSTS BORN UPON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BY NOT
FUNDING THE COMPREHENSIVE U.S. SOUTHERN BORDER
LAYERED PROTECTION PLAN OF PRESIDENT TRUMP: The
illicit drug trafficking in the United States costs
$500 billion* plus dollars annually – in ten years
that is 5 trillion dollars – SECURE FENCE ACT WAS
PASSED 2006 WHICH AMOUNTS TO AROUND $6 TRILLION
DOLLARS (ILLICIT DRUG COSTS). If PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS
GIVEN AN INITIAL SOUND $20 BILLION DOLLAR FIGURE
[SUPPORTED BY U.S. BORDER PATROL] for overall border
protection (Wall/Fence/Barrier, Personnel, Judicial
support, Humanitarian Relief, Technological updates,

It appears a live
national debate needs to immediately take place
[with pictures – graphs – illustrations – personal
encounters] between the Senior elected officials --
without ear devices [not their staff or media
intermediates] who oppose immediate funding for the
U.S. Southern Border versus the Border Patrol Agents
who ‘actively’ patrol [and ranchers whose lives are
on the line every day on] the borders who
immediately support the U.S. Southern Border being
comprehensively protected [top to bottom]. American
citizens need to directly hear from the people who
have to daily deal [CBP AGENTS/RANCHERS) and make
decisions [ELECTED OFFICIALS] with regards to the
major National Security problems of the U.S.
Southern Border. |

CDC excerpt” The
United States is experiencing an epidemic of drug
overdose (poisoning) deaths. Since 2000, the rate of
deaths from drug overdoses has increased 137%,
including a 200% increase in the rate of overdose
deaths involving opioids (opioid pain relievers and
heroin). … During 2014, a total of 47,055 drug
overdose deaths occurred in the United States,
representing a 1-year increase of 6.5%, from 13.8
per 100,000 persons in 2013 to 14.7 per 100,000
persons in 2014. |

Drug Cartel Impact: We
must first acknowledge the Cartel leaders are wise
and seasoned business people who have been running
extensive drug/arms operations and money laundering
(money-mover) operations for several generations.
The Cartels thrive in the black market, underground
economy, informal and formal markets (establish
legitimate businesses). They are deeply embedded
into cities and towns all throughout the United
States. * (See: No. 2 San Diego (CA) – El Chapo
Example: Immediately Below) The Cartel leaders know
how to circumvent the Rule Of Law and astutely
counter law enforcement. They subvert our legal and
criminal justice system with ease and do it
extremely well. The Cartels drug dealing operations
are widespread. Their drug dealers are extremely
street savvy. President Trump has taken up the
direct challenge to make inroads into the nefarious
activities of the Cartel international narco-terrorism
world-wide networks. We need to first start an
American Citizen Safety & Security First “Law &
Order” Initiative with our own borders and clean-up
our own crime ridden U.S. streets. We either fully
back President Trump in this critical, sound and
germane Comprehensive National Security Layered U.S.
Southern Border program or watch our society fall
from within. Politics and personal feelings must be
put aside or we suffer the ravages of watching our
family, friends and neighbors suffer and die as our
society further deteriorates right in front of our
own eyes within our lifetime.

The 8 Most Dangerous Border Towns in
America
|
For many years, border
towns were safe and attractive places for tourists
to visit and get a taste of foreign culture, food,
shopping and nightlife. |
The Crisis on Our Southern Border |
Q: Do walls
really work? Isn’t this a “medieval solution for a
modern problem”? |
A: Walls
work. Congressional Democrats, who risibly claim
that a wall won’t because it’s a “medieval
solution” to a modern problem, should try making
the same argument about the wheel. The data
shows that anywhere we have built walls with the
correct mix of personnel and technology, we have
seen a massive drop in illegal crossings –
usually by 90% or more.
- San Diego
(built in 1992): Apprehensions of illegal
aliens crossing the border dropped 92% over
the past 23 years
- El Paso
(built in 1993): Apprehensions of illegal
aliens crossing the border dropped 72% in
one year and 95% over 22 years
- Tucson
(built in 2000): Apprehensions of illegal
aliens crossing the border dropped 90% over
15 years
- Yuma
(built in 2005): Apprehensions of illegal
aliens crossing the border dropped 95% over
9 years
|
Q: Is the President
being unreasonable in his request? Is he refusing to
compromise? |
A: No.
President Trump has asked Congress to fulfill
its solemn duty to protect the American people
and provide the needed funding to secure the
border. The frontline men and women of the U.S.
Border Patrol have long said they need border
barriers and it’s up to Congress to deliver. The
President has already shown he is willing to
compromise by agreeing to a steel barrier along
the border rather than a concrete one.
Congressional Democrats must decide if they will
continue to prioritize partisan politics and
their desire for open borders over supporting a
mainstream, common sense solution to keep our
country and our people safe.
|
Q: Are walls
immoral? |
A: No.
It’s unclear why Nancy Pelosi and other
prominent Congressional Democrats believe that a
border wall is “immoral” while other physical
barriers, which Democrats have repeatedly voted
to fund, are not. It is also interesting that
Congressional Democrats have made no similar
outcries over the “immorality” of border walls
erected by other nations, such as the walls in
Jordan, Israel, and the Vatican.
|
Q: Aren’t these
migrants seeking asylum from dangerous conditions? |
A: Most
asylum claims made by migrants arriving from the
Northern Triangle of Central America (i.e.
Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador) have proven
to be meritless. That’s because widespread
knowledge of loopholes in United States
immigration—namely the low threshold screening
standards to claim asylum— have enabled migrants
to fraudulently claim “credible fear” and be
released into the United States. Due to the low
bar for credible-fear, DHS is seeing
applicants—well-coached by coyotes, advocates,
and others—utter the “magic words” to gain entry
into American communities.
- Over the
last five years, DHS has seen a 1,750%
increase in credible fear claims for aliens
who have been placed in expedited removal.
- The total
number of credible-fear referrals for
interviews increased from about 5,000 a year
in FY 2008 to about 100,000 in FY 2018.
- Over the
last ten years, there has been a 300%
increase in aliens placed in expedited
removal from the Northern Triangle. 89
percent of aliens from the Northern Triangle
with a credible fear finding are found to
have positive credible fear, yet only nine
percent of the cases completed in FY 2018
were ultimately granted asylum.
- NOTE: Not
only is economic migration not a legitimate
grounds for asylum by law, but migration has
steadily increased even though the
conditions in many of these countries have
been steadily improving. Homicide rates in
Honduras have been cut in half since 2012,
and Guatemala’s are at their lowest level
since 2000. El Salvador has seen enough job
growth in recent years to justify the return
of those who were unable to come home after
earthquakes in the 2000s.
|
Q: What other
evidence do we have that these asylum claims are not
meritorious? |
Mexico is
generously offering all migrants asylum, work
permits, and a specific job. Nevertheless,
migrants have turned down this offer with the
stated intention of reaching the United States
for economic opportunities. A significant
percentage of those migrants claiming to be
seeking asylum fail to appear for their hearings
before an Immigration Judge and subsequently
disappear into the interior of the United
States.
|
Q: Are criminals
coming across the border?
|
In Fiscal Year
2018, CBP arrested 17,000 individuals with
criminal records. On a typical day, CBP
apprehends 21 wanted criminals at our Southern
Border. The officers and agents must be vigilant
about identifying national security and public
safety threats above all others and denying
entry to those who might do us harm.
Criminal aliens in the interior of the country
is an issue as well. In the last two years
alone, ICE officers made 266,000 arrests of
aliens with criminal records – including those
charged or convicted of 100,000 assaults and
nearly 30,000 sex crimes.
|
Q: Is the crisis at
our border fueling our nation’s drug epidemic? |
Our porous
southern border has allowed drugs to flood into
our country and endanger the security and
well-being of American communities. Mexico is
the source of more than 90 percent of wholesale
heroin seized by law enforcement in the United
States, up from only 10 percent in 2003. The
amount of fentanyl seized by Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) in FY 2017 (2,370
pounds) was enough to kill every American
citizen by overdose.
|
Q: Does the crisis
at our border pose a terror threat? |
Overall, DHS
stops on average 10 individuals on the terrorist
watch list per day from traveling to or entering
the United States—and more than 3,700 in Fiscal
Year 2017. Most of these individuals are trying
to enter the United States from points abroad by
air, but we must also be focused on stopping
those who try to get in by land. Additionally,
last year at our Southern Border, DHS
encountered more than 3,000 “special interest
aliens”—individuals with suspicious travel
patterns who may pose a national security
risk—not to mention the many criminals,
smugglers, traffickers, and other threat actors
who try to exploit our borders. This threat
isn’t new. In 2016, President Obama’s DHS
Secretary Jeh Johnson ordered that DHS form a
“multi-DHS Component SIA Joint Action Group” to
drive efforts to “counter the threats posed by
the smuggling of SIAs.” Just this month, the
House Homeland Security Committee released a
report outlining the threat posed by SIAs, as
well as unknown and other potentially dangerous
individuals, traveling to the United States
using illicit pathways.
|
Q: Isn’t illegal
immigration down? |
Some media
figures, who do not understand loopholes in
United States immigration law, have tried to
argue that because illegal borders crossings are
lower today than in previous years, that we are
not experiencing an illegal immigration crisis.
|
That argument is
wrong. The critical Difference between illegal
border crossings in 2000 vs. today is that, in 2000,
the vast majority were Mexican single adults, and,
as such, those entering illegally were detained and
repatriated to their home country within hours.
Today, DHS is experiencing an influx of illegal
migrants for whom it cannot deliver legal
consequences (i.e. minors and adults who arrive with
minors). As such, rather than detaining and removing
these individuals, DHS simply catches them and then
releases them into American communities. |
|
-
In December, DHS averaged 2,000 illegal entries
a day at the Southern border.
-
Fiscal Year 2018 is the highest number of family
unit apprehensions on record – it is more than
40% higher than any previous year on record.
-
It takes DHS one year to remove the number of
family unit migrants that cross our border
illegally every three days.
-
To demonstrate the nature of the problem. Of the
illegal alien apprehended in FY17:
-
82% of single
adults had been repatriated
-
91% of Mexican
single adults had been repatriated
-
Only 1.1% of
non-Mexican family unit aliens had been
repatriated
-
Only 1.8% of
non-Mexican unaccompanied alien minors had
been repatriated.
-
i.e. of the
31,754 unaccompanied minors CBP apprehended
from the Northern Triangle in FY17, 98.2
percent remain in the country today.
|
Q. How does our
porous border endanger the well-being of migrant
children? |
A:
Aliens know generally that if they bring ANY
minor with them they will be apprehended by
Customs and Border Protection and released into
the interior of the United States. This
well-known loophole acts a magnet for family
units and entices smugglers to use children as a
way to gain access to the United States by
posing a family unit. In the last two months,
DHS has seen an over 100 percent increase in
fraudulent family units at the Southern border
(538 in the last two months, compared to 507 the
five months prior to that) Additionally, we see
NINE fraudulent family units each day. The
result of these loopholes is that smugglers and
illegal migrants know that if they arrive in the
United States illegally under the age of 18 (or
arrive with someone else under the age of 18),
they can benefit from catch-and-release and then
disappear into the interior of the country.
|
Q. What are we
doing to combat the humanitarian crisis at our
border? |
Congress must
secure the border in order to stop the
humanitarian crisis at our border. Loopholes in
United States immigration law encourage parents
to send their children alone on a dangerous
journey to the United States, often at the hands
of unscrupulous human traffickers. Data shows
that 31% of women and 17% of men are sexually
assaulted along the journey. Additionally, 68%
of migrants and refugees are victims of violence
along the journey.
|
APPENDIX B: What
Does A Layered Border Security System Look Like? |
(A Layered Security
Border System) |
|
American citizens want
national security, but they do not know what a
“Wall” means as it is referenced in border security.
A wall is only one part of a layered security
solution. |
|
The U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) Office of Border Patrol is
responsible for securing the U.S. border between the
ports of entry. The authority for this is based on
the Immigration and Nationality Act 287(a)(3) and
copied in 8 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 287
(a)(3). Department of Homeland Security and the
Border Patrol has a primary mission to prevent
terrorists and weapons of terrorism from entering
the United States and also to detect, interdict,
apprehend, and detain those who attempt to illegally
enter or smuggle any person or contraband across the
nation’s borders. CBP has divided geographic
responsibility for the southwest border among nine
Border Patrol sectors. Each sector has a varying
number of stations, with agents responsible for
patrolling within defined geographic areas. |
|
Our national border
security requires layered security solutions
that include a physical barrier, sensors, cameras,
UAVs, fixed & mobile towers, dogs, agents, roads,
and equipment. A physical barrier, fence, or wall is
a key ingredient of a layered security solution.
This type of layered security solutions are used by
the military in order to provide security in combat
situations. Our southern border is more dangerous
than borders in Iraq or Afghanistan. |
|
In 2010, DHS Secretary
Janet Napolitano ordered the redeployment of $50
million of Recovery Act funding to other “tested,”
commercially available security technology,
including mobile surveillance, thermal imaging
devices, ultra-light detection, backscatter units,
mobile radios, cameras and laptop computers for
pursuit vehicles, and remote video surveillance
system enhancements, along with a wall or fence.
“Not only do we have an obligation to secure our
borders, we have a responsibility to do so in the
most cost-effective way possible,” Napolitano said. |
|
What does a layered
security solutions look like? |
|
|
|
The below chart
demonstrates that the U.S-Mexico border could
“absolutely” be secured, with undocumented
immigration reduced to near-zero levels. The network
of fences, walls, and electronic surveillance that
CBP has erected along its Yuma sector of the border
to stop illegal immigration from Mexico reduced
apprehensions. The part of the border system made up
of observation towers can be kept augmented by smart
fencing, cameras, and other surveillance equipment
where migrants could be detected before they reach
the border and intercepted with security forces. |
|
|
There are nine CBP
Sectors along the southern border and the below
chart demonstrates how many illegals are identified
and detained coming across the border. Only a small
percentage of illegals are apprehended by CBP, the
rest vanish into the U.S. |
|
|
|
The cost of a layered
security solution along our southern border is $30B. |
|
The cost of illegal
immigration to the American taxpayer for one year is
over $200B. This cost includes funds spent for
medical services, schools, courts, jails, police,
fraud, welfare, remittances, low-wage jobs, etc.
American citizens are killed, raped, robbed,
assaulted, and their identities are stolen by
illegal immigrants. |
|
The Return on
Investment (ROI) of building a layered security
solution across our southern border pays for itself
within two months. With this type of investment, why
are Democrats against building a wall or fence,
along with layered security? It is all about 2 |
Their potential
voters, power, and the 2020 election. |
|
All American taxpayers
must support President Trump in his effort to build
the wall and sign new legislation that creates a
comprehensive immigration policy that is good for
America, not the Democrat Party. |
|
APPENDIX C: Vice-President Pence (01/16/19) |
Vice President Mike
Pence: "Democrats refuse to compromise on border
wall funding to end the shutdown." |
|
"America has a
national security and humanitarian crisis at our
southern border, and President Donald Trump has
promised to end it. We’ve already taken important
steps, but rather than work with us to make further
progress, Democrats in Congress have refused to
compromise on the wall, leading to the longest
shutdown in U.S. history. The American people
deserve better...."
|
"President Trump and I
recognize that border security is national security.
That’s why this president has made it a priority to
end this crisis, secure our border, build a wall,
and protect the American people...." |
|
"But the American
people deserve to know: Democrats refuse to
negotiate on building the wall. Even as we face a
crisis on our southern border, and as 800,000
federal workers go without paychecks, Democrats in
Congress have been unwilling to seriously discuss
even partial wall funding. President Trump and our
administration will not be deterred by the
Democrats' obstruction. The American people want to
see action, and we intend to deliver. |
|
It’s time for
Democrats in Congress to do their job, negotiate in
good faith, and reach an agreement that ends the
humanitarian and security crisis at our border and
reopens the government. The American people deserve
nothing less." |
