text: I agree that border security should be fixed. I'm skeptical that a hiring spike for border patrol agents and a wall is the way to do that. I'm not sure what the actual solution is but it's probably a mix of a more thorough vetting and standards around hiring border patrol agents, and then a mix of monitoring technology and barriers. A wall would just have diminishing returns.
  
  Hiring laws and self-deportation: I agree that we should enforce hiring laws. But we should find better legal ways for temporary workers. There is clearly a demand, let's find a way to have it on the books.
  
  Trump is actually leaving no mat out for immigration. He's stated that he wants to deport, and also lower legal immigration. I disagree on both fronts.
  
  You weren't willing to stand by deporting 11 million people, so you actually seem to be for some sort of pragmatic approach. Maybe the people on the other side of the fence want the same thing and aren't simply lawless criminals.
