'Rapid pace': Former Trump official makes prediction about incoming admin's aggressive border plan
Fox News

He said that the Trump administration would likely repeat the same strategies at the border that pushed a combination of consequences for illegal entry and deterrence from entering. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

"More importantly, we're not going to be just reactive. We want to actually try to prevent the flow of illegal immigration, we want to go after the cartels to prevent the drugs from, you know, making it to our border. The border should be our last line of defense. That's the same methodology, same strategy that we used in the first Trump administration that led to the most secure border in our lifetime," he said.
