Congressional negotiators have reached an agreement that would allow the construction of just 55 additional miles of barriers along the southern border. That’s a small fraction of what President Trump has been seeking – and, more to the point, what the nation requires.

After all, we face not only caravans bringing thousands of individuals seeking taxpayer-subsidized asylum in the United States, many of whom come bearing contagious diseases. That’s a serious public health, as well as public safety, problem.

Even worse is the death and destruction delivered to 70,000 Americans annually by drug cartels. They should be considered – and treated – as terrorists and effective barriers placed wherever needed to keep out both such enemies and what amount to their lethal chemical weapons.

President Trump is under tremendous pressure to take this so-called “deal.” America needs him once again to just say “No.”

This is Frank Gaffney.
