Coast Guard chief: 'Shortsighted' to think border wall will stop illegal immigration
The Coast Guard’s top admiral said Wednesday it would be “shortsighted” to think building a wall between the United States and Mexico will stem illegal immigration.
“I think we’d be shortsighted to think that if we build a wall that will end all the drivers for illegal migration,” Adm. Paul Zukunft, commandant of the Coast Guard, said when asked if he’s expecting an increase of illegal immigration via the ocean. “If you can’t come across a terrestrial border between Mexico and the United States, then go around it.
“So we keep a very close eye on what those trends are. Hasn’t happened, but that would probably be several years down.”
Zukunft, who has announced his retirement for June, was speaking to the Defense Writers Group as about 1,600 National Guard troops are deploying to the border in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to support the Department of Homeland Security’s border security mission.

his name will be on that list - but with the way things have been going these past few days, it may take a while to get that far down that list!
