Subject: Re: Trump Tells GOP: No Border Deal!
There has been an increase in illegal immigration mostly because of the strong U.S. job market.

The MAGA solution to this is to fund 10% of a border wall (that would only reduce illegal immigration by 10% if fully built), prioritize detention (but only increase the number of detention beds by 20%), and demand no funding for alternatives to detention (migrant services, shelter, food, more staff to process claims).

The Senate bipartisan solution begins with creating an authority to expel migrants when border agents record a spike in illegal crossings, making asylum screenings harder to pass, and expanding the expedited removal process.

MAGA wants an open border and opposes any solution, so Trump can campaign on the chaos. Some governors are giving free trips to Northern states, and this just encourages more illegal immigration.
