If Trump spends one day in an immigration courtroom, he can build his damn wall with my full support. You notice he loves for the cameras to see him at the border with patrol agents or hanging with law enforcement in that region, but you know he will never set foot where the real **** is happening. $5.6 billion would be far better spent fixing our immigration court system. Not to mention judges have quotas in our immigration system. Quotas! Ridiculous! A real mess.

What exactly would "spending one day in immigration court" prove, exactly?

He asked for the 5.6 billion to cover creating more immigration courts, hiring more border agents, buying technology to monitor the border, and to build steel slat wall sections.

However, one thing he must do IMO is actually provide specific line items budgeting how much is to be spent on what.

How does the system need to be fixed?
