Defend the border & save lives: solving our most important humanitarian and security crisis / by Homan, Tomauthor;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 249-252) and index.Who I fight for -- Immigration and the law -- The real story on our southern border -- Animals smuggling humans -- Make immigration safe and legal again -- Illegal employment : big problem, simple solutions -- Illegal immigration : facts, feelings, and fixes -- Blurred borders and crime -- Build those walls -- Are borders racist? -- Zero tolerance and the fallacy of "family separation" -- Sanctuary for criminals -- The war against ice -- The Trump effect -- Let's fix this.Illegal immigration is the most controversial and emotional issue this country faces today. President Trump was elected on his promise to fix illegal immigration and build a wall on our southern border. Because he won on this issue, the Democrats refuse to work with him, and we experienced a government shutdown as a result of this divide. The Democrats have supported funding in the past and, in his State of the Union, the President said that he wants to unify and work together to resolve this and all the other challenges facing America. The Democrats sat on their hands. They won't budge. Clearly, as a party, they don't care about the facts, only about denying whatever success they can to this president. Former ICE Director and Fox News contributor Tom Homan knows the facts. He's spent his life on the border and knows that if we don't control illegal immigration now, this country will continue to suffer the consequences of crime, drugs, and financial strain-and it will get much much worse. In Defend the Border and Save Lives, Homan shares what illegal immigration is really about. Illegal immigration should not be a partisan issue. Now is the time to fix this issue that has claimed so many victims and divided this country. We need to pull the curtain back and expose what truly happens and separate facts from fiction. Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime, and the victims are the illegals and their innocent children as well as the Americans who suffer at the hand of the criminals who sneak into this country.
