Secure border an 'indispensable prerequisite' to immigration reform: Gowdy

Congress cannot reform immigration policy in the United States until the crisis at the border is broadly addressed and contained, “Sunday Night in America” host Trey Gowdy said over the weekend.

"We do not have border security. So there will be no movement until that indispensable prerequisite is met." While Democrats seek temporary and impulsive solutions to the decades-old political hot button topic, Gowdy said he is hoping for "something that can last longer than one executive order to the next, longer than one election cycle to the next." "Most Americans believe a sovereign country should have border security because a sovereign country is entitled to know who is coming into the country and going out.  Yes, it's national security. Yes, it makes economic sense. But even more fundamentally, a country has a right to meaningful borders and to have those borders respected and honored," he said.
