Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently discussed his border policy proposals during an interview. He emphasized the need to address the increasing number of undocumented immigrants crossing the border. Kennedy highlighted the importance of completing the infrastructure at the border, particularly in urban areas, by implementing physical barriers. He suggested that while a continuous wall may not be necessary along the entire length of the border, it is essential to have physical barriers in urban regions where illegal migrants can easily disappear. In addition, Kennedy stressed the importance of surveillance in rural areas through the use of long-range cameras, sensors, and lighting systems. He also emphasized the need for well-maintained access roads and empowered personnel to effectively regulate border crossings.
Another key aspect of Kennedy's approach involves putting asylum judges at the border to quickly adjudicate cases. He also expressed the importance of reviving the Migrant Protection Act, which would enable border agents to keep asylum seekers in Mexico while their cases are being processed.
