It's a choice between somebody who wants to close down that border and somebody who wants to open it back up. One of the most important issues to me, Shaun, you know, this is just public safety because We used to live in a country where both Democrats and Republicans agreed that whether you were rich or poor, you deserve to be able to walk down the street in safety.
