Scott said CBP needs more areas with a border wall, even if it’s not a complete solution.
“We cannot effectively control the border without barriers to slow [url=http://www.buyusacigarettes.com]Newport Cigarettes Suppliers, all Quality Newport Cigarettes[/url] down illegal entries,” he told Raddatz, adding that while a wall wouldn’t necessarily stop the illegal flow of drugs, which mainly come through legal port of entries and tunnels, a wall would allow Scott “to free up personnel to focus on that threat.”
In addition to border wall funding and temporary protections for some immigrants, Trump’s border security proposal seeks nearly $800 million for additional border agents, law enforcement officers and other staff, $800 million in humanitarian assistance, including new temporary housing [url=http://www.buyusacigarettes.com]Newport Cigarettes Suppliers, all Quality Newport Cigarettes[/url] for migrants, and more than $800 million for “technology, canines and personnel to help stop the flow of illegal drugs, weapons and other contraband.”
Just on Thursday morning, CBP officers near San Diego had already arrested almost 100 people, including children. There has been a dramatic increase in the number of families crossing the border, and after backlash over a Trump administration “zero tolerance” policy which led to children being separated from adults once apprehended, families are now held together, but there’s a limit to how long children can be detained.
“If you come with a child, you will be released within about 20 days,” Scott said told Raddatz. “So that's created a pull factor and once people figured that out, they don't mind being arrested, incarcerated for a few days because they know they're going to be released into the U.S.”
