A former US Border Patrol commander has called for sweeping immigration measures, saying life should be made so difficult for undocumented migrants that they are forced to leave the country.
Greg Bovino, who recently retired, made the controversial remarks in a video interview in which he claimed that current anti-immigration enforcement efforts are not strong enough. “We need surges of DHS agents into all the major cities. We need to make it so hard for them to live, to work, to procreate, to do anything in the United States that they have no choice but to self-deport,” he said.
