Obama's border patrol chief says wall is 'critically pertinent' for safety and security of the US
With President Trump declaring a national emergency to secure required funds for the border wall, it is essential we understand the situation at the US-Mexico border.
President Barack Obama's Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan, who has come out in strong support of the wall, sat down with MEA WorldWide (MEAWW) to break down the complex issues the country faces at the border.
Morgan says there are two distinct categories when it comes to illegal immigrants. "One of these categories impacts our national security, and that is bad people and bad things coming in," he told MEAWW. "The other category includes good people who are trying to get into the US and are claiming asylum. It is important we consider the distinction because, to some degree, there are different solutions for different categories."
