onepoorguy: The problem really is the rural areas...

No, that's not the problem.

The number of people sneaking into the country is a fraction of the number of people showing up legally at ports of entry and simply making a claim for asylum. They system cannot absorb all of those people. As albaby1 explained repeatedly, the system we have now is outmoded, designed to deal with young males from Mexico crossing the border illegally to work in America. Today, we have asylum seekers from all over Central America coming to legal ports of entry to request asylum. They are not, for the most part, attempting to sneak into the country. And we don't have an adequate number of border personnel or judges to process the asylum seekers and send them home if they are not eligible.

The border bill Trump killed gave border officials powers to quickly deny entry, added thousands of new border officials and judges, and gave the president the power to shut down the border at predetermined asylum seeker levels.

Trump killed border security.
