Giving more money to those monitoring and enforcing this policy is pretty uncontroversial

Is it?

  This is Tyr you are responding to.

So I assume the same people who insisted that stricter gun control would not stop attacks like Las Vegas, will insist that stricter immigration controls will not stop attacks like this?

Too soon, can't talk about dealing with the issue right after the incident.

Wolfe was right: "You can't go Home Depot again."

Luckily their stock recovered from yesterday.

It is?
Surprising if so. I'm sure I recall John oliver doing a bit on their trouble staffing.
In the UK that the border force is under funded is a pretty uncontroversial point.
Certainly it doesn't fall into a sort of smug left vs right, gun control vs ban Muslims, territory

Well that's not how it works in the US. It is most definitely a bone of contention between the left and right with the Republicans always on about increasing border security and extreme vetting.

Okay, that was good.

I remain in favor of keeping our 2nd Amendment rights, and of allowing more immigrants into the country legally, if that's what you mean.

I wish an industry was backing our other amendment rights.

I didn't say push the laws rightwards. I just said fund them better to enforce the existing laws more competently

Which those things are connected, no?

Being able to read them out loud would be a start.

It sounds nice, it's not nice. It's not good, it's not good, it hasn't been good.

Which laws are you referring to?  The ones that prohibit people who might commit terrorist acts from entering the country?

True and they have done a pretty decent job with that one. Anybody making money off of the fourth amendment?
