Immigrants are not state enemies, they are an essential component to a healthy society and a sound economy, obviously. Like any group of people a certain percentage are going to break the law but far fewer immigrants do so than US citizens. As for terrorists -- designation as an enemy of the state is not as cut and dried as you'd think. But failing to capture all of them is not treason.

It may have been broken, but until 2020, there were less illegal immigrants coming through the border, walls were still being put up instead of the materials to do so, rusting in rented storage buildings, less illegal drugs coming through the borders and less human trafficking. The fact that AJ doesn’t seem to know what’s going on within his own division, it’s alarming. Assuming, and you know where that leads, that he’s even truthful about not knowing the answers.
