Barrett on the President's speech

Rep. Gresham Barrett (R.-S.C.)

“Troops on the border will immediately help stop the flow of illegal immigrants and most importantly, increase our national security. However, this is not a long-term solution. We should not rule out other solutions like those passed by the House in December, including the construction of a fence.

“The American people deserve to know their government is doing everything possible to secure the borders. All options should be on the table. I look forward to hearing what the President has to say this evening.”
