President Trump has dramatically reduced illegal border crossings and taken steps that no recent administration was willing to take. But here's the question I can't ignore: is it happening fast enough?
In today's show, I look at the growing debate inside the MAGA movement over whether the administration's immigration strategy is moving quickly enough to reverse years of mass illegal immigration. I'll explain why some conservatives believe time is running short before the midterms, why others argue the administration is making meaningful progress under difficult circumstances, and where I think both sides have a point.
I'll also discuss deportation numbers, the political risks of incrementalism, the divide between traditional Republicans and the newer MAGA movement, and why I believe keeping pressure on the administration is essential if conservatives want lasting immigration reform.
