President Trump and countless Republicans ran on fixing our immigration system.

There is no shortage of ideas on how to get the job done: build a wall; build fences; use technology; add manpower; get help from state and local governments; pursue better enforcement policies; shift to more skill-based immigration; strengthen the refugee system, etc.
