"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 1 p.m. PST\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump says he wants to use military troops to help secure the U.S. border with Mexico. He made the suggestion Tuesday during a White House summit meeting with Baltic leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also renewed his call for a quick withdrawal of U.S. forces in Syria. And he expressed support for embattled EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the weekend, Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11659464/trumps-tweets-on-caravans-crossing-the-border-annotated\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has been tweeting about a caravan of Central Americans\u003c/a>, most of them from Honduras, who are making their way north through Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Until we can have a wall and proper security, we're going to be guarding our border with the military,\" Trump said. \"That's a big step.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the U.S. has deployed National Guard troops to the border in the past, Trump's suggestion seemed to catch Pentagon planners by surprise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a meeting on it in a little while with General Mattis and everybody,\" Trump said. \"I think it's something we have to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Border apprehensions, which are a proxy for illegal border crossings, declined sharply during Trump's first months in office. Apprehensions bottomed out last April and have been slowly climbing in the months since. In the five months ending in February, apprehensions of unaccompanied minors were down 36 percent from the same period a year earlier, while apprehensions of families were down 46 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump wants Mexico to play a more active role in discouraging illegal border crossings. He suggested that may be a factor in the ongoing trade talks with Mexico and Canada. Trump has long criticized the North American Free Trade Agreement, which he blames for encouraging U.S. companies to relocate factories south of the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump claimed the U.S. trade deficit with Mexico tops $100 billion. In fact the \u003ca href=\"https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/americas/mexico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deficit in goods and services last year\u003c/a> was $64.1 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump was asked about his suggestion during a speech in Richfield, Ohio, last week that U.S. troops would quickly be leaving Syria, now that ISIS has largely been driven out of its former territory there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I want to bring our troops back home,\" Trump said Tuesday. \"I want to start rebuilding our nation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Military experts warn a precipitous withdrawal could create an opening for ISIS or similar groups to regroup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also voiced support for his EPA administrator. Pruitt is under scrutiny for an \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/01/598630186/trumps-cabinet-under-scrutiny?utm_medium=RSS&station=KNOW_FM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apparent sweetheart housing arrangement\u003c/a> he enjoyed last year in an apartment owned by the wife of an energy lobbyist. A White House official confirms that Trump telephoned Pruitt Monday night, but the official would not talk about what was said in the conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I hope he's going to be great,\" Trump said Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's meeting with leaders of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia was designed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of independence for the Baltic nations, following World War I.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout World War II and the Cold War, the Baltic countries were dominated by the Soviet Union. They regained their independence in the early 1990s and joined NATO in 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Lithuania began buying liquid natural gas from the U.S. as part of an effort to secure alternative energy supplies and reduce its dependence on Russia. Trump has encouraged that move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nobody's been tougher on Russia than I have,\" the president said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also praised the Baltic countries for their robust defense spending. Latvia and Lithuania come close to meeting the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nato.int/nato_static_fl2014/assets/pdf/pdf_2017_06/20170629_170629-pr2017-111-en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NATO benchmark\u003c/a> of devoting 2 percent of their economies to defense, while Estonia spends slightly more than 2 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When nations are committed to peace and to security, they have to pay their share and we will all enjoy a much more safe and prosperous future,\" Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

He made the suggestion Tuesday during a White House summit meeting with Baltic leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also renewed his call for a quick withdrawal of U.S. forces in Syria.

Apprehensions bottomed out last April and have been slowly climbing in the months since. In the five months ending in February, apprehensions of unaccompanied minors were down 36 percent from the same period a year earlier, while apprehensions of families were down 46 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump wants Mexico to play a more active role in discouraging illegal border crossings. He suggested that may be a factor in the ongoing trade talks with Mexico and Canada. Trump has long criticized the North American Free Trade Agreement, which he blames for encouraging U.S. companies to relocate factories south of the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump claimed the U.S. trade deficit with Mexico tops $100 billion. In fact the \u003ca href=\"https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/americas/mexico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deficit in goods and services last year\u003c/a> was $64.1 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump was asked about his suggestion during a speech in Richfield, Ohio, last week that U.S. troops would quickly be leaving Syria, now that ISIS has largely been driven out of its former territory there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I want to bring our troops back home,\" Trump said Tuesday. \"I want to start rebuilding our nation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Military experts warn a precipitous withdrawal could create an opening for ISIS or similar groups to regroup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also voiced support for his EPA administrator. Pruitt is under scrutiny for an \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/01/598630186/trumps-cabinet-under-scrutiny?utm_medium=RSS&station=KNOW_FM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apparent sweetheart housing arrangement\u003c/a> he enjoyed last year in an apartment owned by the wife of an energy lobbyist. A White House official confirms that Trump telephoned Pruitt Monday night, but the official would not talk about what was said in the conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I hope he's going to be great,\" Trump said Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's meeting with leaders of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia was designed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of independence for the Baltic nations, following World War I.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout World War II and the Cold War, the Baltic countries were dominated by the Soviet Union. They regained their independence in the early 1990s and joined NATO in 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Lithuania began buying liquid natural gas from the U.S. as part of an effort to secure alternative energy supplies and reduce its dependence on Russia. Trump has encouraged that move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nobody's been tougher on Russia than I have,\" the president said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also praised the Baltic countries for their robust defense spending.

The caravan, organized by the group Pueblo Sin Fronteras, numbers more than 1,000 people, most of them from Honduras, as \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/adolfoflores/a-huge-caravan-of-central-americans-is-headed-for-the-us?utm_term=.saEonb78V#.hs0mPl30r\">BuzzFeed reported last week\u003c/a>. So far, Mexican authorities haven't moved to block the migrants. It's not clear how many of the migrants actually intend to enter the U.S., or seek asylum here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also tweeted that the border is \"getting more dangerous.\" Assaults on Customs and Border Protection agents jumped nearly 50 percent last year. But the rate of illegal border crossings into the U.S. dropped to its lowest level in decades. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/12/05/568546381/arrests-for-illegal-border-crossings-hit-46-year-low\">Arrests last year hit a 46-year low\u003c/a>, though they've ticked back up slightly in the first months of 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has vowed repeatedly to end \"catch and release.\" That's how critics describe the policy that allows many migrants to go free until their requests for asylum can be heard by an immigration judge, a process that often takes years because of court backlogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the president's repeated calls, \"catch and release\" is proving difficult to dismantle, in part because of laws and settlements that constrain how long immigration authorities can hold migrants, especially children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>-- Joel Rose, National Desk Correspondent\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Claim 2: \"Mexico is doing very little\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/980451155548491777\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexico's foreign minister \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/02/598781170/mexicos-foreign-minister-cites-facts-after-trump-slams-mexico-over-migration\">fired off his own tweet\u003c/a> after Trump's, insisting that every day Mexico and the U.S. work together on migration and \"the facts clearly reflect this.\" Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray Caso also added, in reference to reports that Trump's tweets were in response to a Fox News story, that inaccurate news reports should not serve to question binational cooperation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexico has recently detained large groups of migrants coming through the country. Just last Friday, authorities discovered 136 migrants from Central America in the back of a sweltering hot truck in the southern state of Veracruz. In March, another group of 103 Central Americans, were rescued from a truck in the northern border state of Tamaulipas. According to a report by Reuters, official figures show that more than 800 Central American migrants have been discovered in safe houses or in trucks in Mexico in the first three months of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>--\u003cem> Carrie Kahn, Mexico City Correspondent\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Claim 3: New migrants are \"trying to take advantage of DACA\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/980451798606602241\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is simply not how DACA works. New and future immigrants cannot \"take advantage\" of DACA benefits because they're not eligible for the program now, and never were.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, offers temporary protection from deportation to immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. The Obama-era program also allows them work legally in the U.S. But it's only available to immigrants who have lived in the U.S. since 2007, and meet a host of other requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, it's misleading to suggest that anyone seeking entry to the U.S. today could benefit from DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration moved to end DACA last fall, but courts have put that decision on hold while legal challenges play out. For now, the Department of Homeland Security is required to renew protections for existing recipients. But it's not accepting applications from people who've never had DACA before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>-- Joel Rose, National Desk Correspondent\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Claim 4: Mexico has \"absolute power\" to stop the \"caravans\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/980762392303980544\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to finding and detaining large groups of migrants, Mexico has also seen the number of Central Americans requesting asylum in their country \u003ca href=\"https://aristeguinoticias.com/1110/mexico/en-9-meses-aumentaron-578-las-peticiones-de-refugio-en-mexico-cndh/\">skyrocket\u003c/a> in recent years. Many are foregoing the dangerous and increasingly difficult crossing into the U.S. Last year more than 10,000 migrants, mostly from Central America, requested refugee status or asylum in Mexico. While the number of Central Americans apprehended at the U.S. southern border \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration\">plunged immediately\u003c/a> following President Trump's inauguration, the numbers have steadily risen in recent months, suggesting that the flows of migrants from the troubled region may be on the rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>--\u003cem> Carrie Kahn, Mexico City Correspondent\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Claim 5: Congress should use the nuclear option \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/980764358530789380\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump often calls for the Senate to eliminate the filibuster, the body's rule that requires a 60-vote majority for most legislation to pass in the Senate. Trump sees the filibuster as the only thing preventing Congress from passing many of his most partisan priorities like funding a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico or repealing the Affordable Care Act. But there are two main problems with that thinking: Many of Trump's most controversial proposals couldn't pass in a filibuster-free Senate and most senators aren't interested in ditching the higher bar for legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate already voted on a White House-approved immigration plan earlier this year — and it failed 39-60 — far short of a simple majority. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/02/15/585794696/immigration-push-hits-a-wall-as-senate-deadline-nears\">proposal was among the options\u003c/a> considered during a lengthy immigration debate in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act failed to meet a similar bar in that late-night vote where Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz, killed the bill with a simple thumbs-down. That night, 51 senators \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/07/18/537948514/sen-mcconnells-plan-b-to-repeal-affordable-care-act-fails\">voted against\u003c/a> the ACA repeal process, 49 approved, effectively killing that bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The filibuster is a popular scapegoat when the legislative progress grinds to a halt in Congress. Presidents and frustrated lawmakers lambast the rule as an excessive burden to passing widely supported legislation. But it is also one of the signature features of the slower, more deliberative Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate leaders have scaled back the filibuster a few times in the past -- most notably in 2013 when former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., triggered what is known as the nuclear option to overcome a backlog of President Obama's picks for executive offices and judgeships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reid eliminated the filibuster for those positions, sparking a new precedent that federal judicial appointments and many executive office nominees can be approved with a simple majority. That's still the case today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., had a nuclear moment of his own last year when \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/04/06/522847700/senate-pulls-nuclear-trigger-to-ease-gorsuch-confirmation\">he extended that simple majority\u003c/a> threshold to Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But McConnnell says he doesn't support getting rid of the filibuster entirely. He \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/21/mcconnell-opposes-shutdown-nuclear-option-trump-urged-in-tweet.html\">refused to take the drastic step\u003c/a> of getting rid of the protection to end a government shutdown earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislative filibuster has wide support among Senators who view it as an important way to protect the rights of the minority party to force debate on controversial issues. The higher bar forces a broader consensus on legislation, which can help prevent Congress from passing new, more partisan laws every time a new Congress is elected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— \u003cem>Kelsey Snell, Congressional Reporter\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Claim 6: Democrats killed DACA\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/980766121983987712\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats say it was Trump, not them, that killed a deal to fund the wall in exchange for protections for the roughly 700,000 immigrants currently protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program, known as DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congressional negotiators considered adding $25 billion in wall funding in exchange for those legal protections in the spending bill approved in Congress last month. But Democrats, and many GOP staffers, say it was the White House that backed away from the deal. The \u003cem>Washington Post \u003c/em>reported details of the frenzied \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-blew-it-the-president-missed-his-best-chance-yet-to-get-funding-for-his-border-wall/2018/03/21/04993950-2d2b-11e8-8688-e053ba58f1e4_story.html?utm_term=.1490d7e81e57\">last-minute push\u003c/a> for a DACA deal, and several aides on Capitol Hill have largely confirmed that account to NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fight over DACA has been raging in Congress since last year when Trump announced plans to rescind President Obama's executive order protecting those immigrants who were brought to the country as children and are \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/17/578687323/daca-troubles-could-put-spending-bill-in-peril\">now here illegally\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump originally planned to end those protections in early March but courts have stepped in, maintaining the protections while a bevy of lawsuits against the Trump administration play out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump doubled down on blaming the Democrats Monday. He spoke to reporters about the children who had received DACA and now may be in limbo. \"The Democrats have really let them down,\" Trump said. \"They really let them down. They had this great opportunity. The Democrats have really let them down. It's a shame. And now people are taking advantage of DACA and that's a shame.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When reporter Jim Acosta followed up: \"Didn't you kill DACA?,\" Trump didn't answer, according to pool reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>-- Kelsey Snell, Congressional Reporter\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

The caravan, organized by the group Pueblo Sin Fronteras, numbers more than 1,000 people, most of them from Honduras, as \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/adolfoflores/a-huge-caravan-of-central-americans-is-headed-for-the-us?utm_term=.saEonb78V#.hs0mPl30r\">BuzzFeed reported last week\u003c/a>. So far, Mexican authorities haven't moved to block the migrants. It's not clear how many of the migrants actually intend to enter the U.S., or seek asylum here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also tweeted that the border is \"getting more dangerous.\" Assaults on Customs and Border Protection agents jumped nearly 50 percent last year. But the rate of illegal border crossings into the U.S. dropped to its lowest level in decades. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/12/05/568546381/arrests-for-illegal-border-crossings-hit-46-year-low\">Arrests last year hit a 46-year low\u003c/a>, though they've ticked back up slightly in the first months of 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has vowed repeatedly to end \"catch and release.\" That's how critics describe the policy that allows many migrants to go free until their requests for asylum can be heard by an immigration judge, a process that often takes years because of court backlogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the president's repeated calls, \"catch and release\" is proving difficult to dismantle, in part because of laws and settlements that constrain how long immigration authorities can hold migrants, especially children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>-- Joel Rose, National Desk Correspondent\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Claim 2: \"Mexico is doing very little\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\n\u003cp>President Trump often calls for the Senate to eliminate the filibuster, the body's rule that requires a 60-vote majority for most legislation to pass in the Senate. Trump sees the filibuster as the only thing preventing Congress from passing many of his most partisan priorities like funding a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico or repealing the Affordable Care Act. But there are two main problems with that thinking: Many of Trump's most controversial proposals couldn't pass in a filibuster-free Senate and most senators aren't interested in ditching the higher bar for legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate already voted on a White House-approved immigration plan earlier this year — and it failed 39-60 — far short of a simple majority. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/02/15/585794696/immigration-push-hits-a-wall-as-senate-deadline-nears\">proposal was among the options\u003c/a> considered during a lengthy immigration debate in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act failed to meet a similar bar in that late-night vote where Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz, killed the bill with a simple thumbs-down. That night, 51 senators \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/07/18/537948514/sen-mcconnells-plan-b-to-repeal-affordable-care-act-fails\">voted against\u003c/a> the ACA repeal process, 49 approved, effectively killing that bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The filibuster is a popular scapegoat when the legislative progress grinds to a halt in Congress. Presidents and frustrated lawmakers lambast the rule as an excessive burden to passing widely supported legislation. But it is also one of the signature features of the slower, more deliberative Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate leaders have scaled back the filibuster a few times in the past -- most notably in 2013 when former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., triggered what is known as the nuclear option to overcome a backlog of President Obama's picks for executive offices and judgeships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reid eliminated the filibuster for those positions, sparking a new precedent that federal judicial appointments and many executive office nominees can be approved with a simple majority. That's still the case today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., had a nuclear moment of his own last year when \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/04/06/522847700/senate-pulls-nuclear-trigger-to-ease-gorsuch-confirmation\">he extended that simple majority\u003c/a> threshold to Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But McConnnell says he doesn't support getting rid of the filibuster entirely. He \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/21/mcconnell-opposes-shutdown-nuclear-option-trump-urged-in-tweet.html\">refused to take the drastic step\u003c/a> of getting rid of the protection to end a government shutdown earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislative filibuster has wide support among Senators who view it as an important way to protect the rights of the minority party to force debate on controversial issues. The higher bar forces a broader consensus on legislation, which can help prevent Congress from passing new, more partisan laws every time a new Congress is elected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— \u003cem>Kelsey Snell, Congressional Reporter\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Claim 6: Democrats killed DACA\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Border officers apprehended 310,531 people for being in the country illegally in fiscal 2017, a 25 percent decrease from the year before. Meanwhile, arrests by agents with ICE in the interior of the country spiked from the year before to 143,470 immigrants — mostly Central Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after taking office, Trump ordered immigration agents to change their priorities. No longer would they arrest only unauthorized immigrants who had committed serious crimes or had entered the country recently. Under Trump's crackdown, federal officers were encouraged to arrest anyone they come across who is in the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, arrests of \"non-criminal aliens\" — immigrants whose only crime was an immigrant violation — have risen 42 percent. ICE acting chief Homan says arrests of gang members — including the violent MS-13 gang — have jumped 83 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homan stressed that 92 percent of all ICE arrests this fiscal year were of those who had criminal convictions. The arrests were of immigration fugitives or those who illegally re-entered the country. \"We arrested more criminals this year than last year,\" Homan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the numbers of people trying to cross the southern border declined 25 percent, Ron Vitiello, acting deputy commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, said the agency is still concerned about continuing illegal entries by families and unaccompanied children from Central America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some immigrants in shelters in Mexican border cities say they are now afraid to cross because of tough talk coming from Washington and stepped-up arrests in the interior.

It's gonna create friction. A wall wouldn't be at all healthy, I would say, just because of the term \"wall.\" Wall versus bridge. So, which one do you choose?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brian\u003c/strong>: I believe the term, when it is trumped up to say wall, it causes people to go in a very defensive mode and it's not healthy for reaching what could be a very productive conclusion. You know, I was a Trump voter, I am a supporter of the border security being increased. However, I was not a supporter of and don't agree with the rhetoric that he uses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Miguel\u003c/strong>: Well, everyone who is doing business on both sides of the border, we're going to choose \"bridge.\" We're going to choose making things smoother, making things faster, making things more efficient. A wall basically stops everything. So using the term wall in any way, it’s not going to help.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On being neighborly:\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brian\u003c/strong>: I mean, if Miguel and I are neighbors and we don't have a fence and I have a dog that is going into his property or he's got a horse that's going into my property and we say, \"Hey, why don't we build a fence between our backyards?\" We're still neighbors. I'm still going to reach over the fence and say hello or have you over for dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Miguel\u003c/strong>: We have people who are leaving from Tijuana and San Diego. We have people working from Tijuana, from San Diego. We have that cross-border relationship on a very small scale, but it can be replicated on a larger scale. So, it's all going to depend on what we can do as individuals and continue doing, even though the policy and rhetoric on both sides is being negative. If you increase border security, increase trade relations. We need to do business, we need to continue providing for the citizens that live on both sides of the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Erin Siegal McIntyre helped produce this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The barrier itself will be very instrumental to the security of both sides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Miguel\u003c/strong>: \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What I do believe is other type of things for border security, [like technology], would be more effective.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brian\u003c/strong>: There's a lot of technology options that can achieve the same border security goals and not create such a physical reminder of a barrier between nations, as well as not be as expensive, which is obviously a concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On the political rhetoric surrounding the wall:\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Miguel\u003c/strong>: Well, if the border security becomes a wall, I know it's going to be very polarizing. It's gonna create friction. A wall wouldn't be at all healthy, I would say, just because of the term \"wall.\" Wall versus bridge. So, which one do you choose?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brian\u003c/strong>: I believe the term, when it is trumped up to say wall, it causes people to go in a very defensive mode and it's not healthy for reaching what could be a very productive conclusion. You know, I was a Trump voter, I am a supporter of the border security being increased. However, I was not a supporter of and don't agree with the rhetoric that he uses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Miguel\u003c/strong>: Well, everyone who is doing business on both sides of the border, we're going to choose \"bridge.\" We're going to choose making things smoother, making things faster, making things more efficient. A wall basically stops everything. So using the term wall in any way, it’s not going to help.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On being neighborly:\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brian\u003c/strong>: I mean, if Miguel and I are neighbors and we don't have a fence and I have a dog that is going into his property or he's got a horse that's going into my property and we say, \"Hey, why don't we build a fence between our backyards?\" We're still neighbors. I'm still going to reach over the fence and say hello or have you over for dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Miguel\u003c/strong>: We have people who are leaving from Tijuana and San Diego. We have people working from Tijuana, from San Diego. We have that cross-border relationship on a very small scale, but it can be replicated on a larger scale. So, it's all going to depend on what we can do as individuals and continue doing, even though the policy and rhetoric on both sides is being negative. If you increase border security, increase trade relations. We need to do business, we need to continue providing for the citizens that live on both sides of the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Erin Siegal McIntyre helped produce this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
