people on the interior part of the country, american citizens and some immigrants themselves? it is a great question laura, and i think, in part, you answered it. presidentd trump has really put these open border zealots in a corner and exposing the truth and the immigration a complete and utter disaster. it s not merely that they want catch and release, they want an unfettered flood. they are for invasion. yes, i will use the trigger word that i ve been using since 2002 when i wrote my first book about immigration. so little had changed in the ensuing years until president trump took office. now, of course, he could have done something about the flores settlement magnet that was drawing so many illegal aliens from around the world to smuggle their children in here knowing they would be released. they could have done on day one the day after inauguration, but i always say better late than
