Trumps speech was disappointing, it could have been high impact but it was just bland talking points. Most voters do not know what he really means.
He should have made statements and presented DATA about:
- illegals costing > $200 billion a year, healthcare, education, food stamps, law enforcement costs, etc...
- how many VIOLENT crimes in 2018 attributed to illegals
- studies of walls that reduce illegal crossings (SD, et al)
- how many drugs crossed the boundary, how many million doses, how many may have gone to our children
- effect on wages of middle class workers that lose salary levels or lose their jobs
With hard, credible data, and some pictures or videos.
What, $ 5.7B instead of the above costs? Do the math!
Yes he touched on it but it fell woefully short.
And he should have provided a link to usgov on screen for back up on these facts.
AND he should have shown videos of Schumer, Hillary, Obama and others pushing for border security in the recent past.
