"It can be done. It is not impossible," Giuliani told his audience at a town hall-style meeting. "You can do this, you can stop them at the border."
Giuliani said he would boost the number of border security agents to 18,000 from the current 12,000, and build a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border with technological monitoring to reduce illegal immigration.
He also would deploy federal agents along the border at 50-mile intervals, using high-tech monitors to detect people trying to enter the country illegally.
You see, that's actually refreshing. Not a lot of politicians will give you the meat of what they have planned to fix a national problem. They just simply say: "Vote for me, I'll fix it" But then when pressed, they don't give you anything, just some vague talking points and a smile for the cameras.
The same thing plagued John Kerry during his 2004 Presidential election bid. He kept saying how everything was going wrong and how he'd fix it all. Yet, when people started asking tough questions, he folded like a bad hand of poker.
People saw through this and he was not elected.
I don't think this will end illegal immigration across the board. I think this may end illegal MEXICAN immigration though. What about Canada? Soon, you'll start seeing people traffickers putting Mexicans on boats or air planes, landing in Canada, then they go from there. Border security means BOTH borders.
Until you fix that, you're only solving 1/2 of the problem.
