The border crisis continues to be one of the top issues going into the November election, but can Trump really fix it if he's re-elected? How much authority would President Trump have to unilaterally correct the disastrous decisions of the Biden administration?
Dan Stien, with the Federation for American Immigration Reform, says under current law, the President has an immense amount of authority to set and enforce border policy. That's how Joe Biden has been able to almost unilaterally open up and destroy the border.
Stien says the big concern is, "Who's going to try and stop Trump?" He pointed out how through Trump's first term, the court systems were used very effectively by groups like the ACLU to slow down Trump's border security agenda, and we can expect the same behavior during a second term.
At the end of the day, Stien says all we really need to secure the border is a president with the willpower to use the law enforcement tools that Congress has given him to shut illegal immigration down.
