Part 5/9:
A crucial point made during the conversation was the philosophy of deterrence in the context of immigration. The speaker asserted that without visible interior enforcement, individuals might be encouraged to immigrate illegally, believing they can evade consequences once they arrive. Implementing strict interior enforcement policies is seen as a critical deterrent to illegal immigration.
Furthermore, the sentiment was clear that the approach should not solely rely on securing borders but should also ensure that individuals who enter the country unlawfully are held accountable, creating a disincentive for potential immigrants.
