SOURCE www.foxnews.com
Former border patrol agent Brandon Judd discusses how President-elect Donald Trump's policies could benefit police in border towns by curbing illegal immigration. Trump's plans include targeting noncitizens convicted of crimes, ending DACA, and reinstating the 'Remain in Mexico' policy.

Key Points

  • Trump's policies aim to secure the border, target criminals, and reduce illegal immigration.
  • Former president of the National Border Patrol Council, Brandon Judd, supports Trump's approach.
  • The 'Remain in Mexico' policy could lead to a drop in illegal border crossings and allow local law enforcement to focus on other duties.

Pros

  • Curbing illegal immigration may lighten the load of Border Patrol agents and local police in border towns.
  • Targeting noncitizens convicted of crimes and eliminating DACA could enhance border security.
  • Reinstating the 'Remain in Mexico' policy may reduce illegal border crossings and hinder cartels.

Cons

  • There are concerns about the impact of these policies on migrant communities and the foreign-born population in the U.S.
  • Uncertainty remains regarding additional funding for local police departments to assist immigration authorities.
