The measures brought to the table include sealing the border if there is an exceedance of 5,000 in daily illegal crossings and denying refugee status to those who cross unlawfully. The ‘Take Our Border Back’ campaign is not just about raising notable funds, it also reflects a part of the public opinion on immigration, chiefly focusing on the implications on American job holders and the issue of national security.
