This is wildly mistaken. The *border* isn't "an opportunity," the Mexican people and culture are. The border is a tool to better exploit them, and you already have a wall in SD, which does exactly that. Try telling blocked asylum seekers that the wall they face is an opportunity

But more concerning is your cont’d failure to see the opportunity presented. You have a GOP Pres who can sell comprehensive immigration reform and wants to deal, but rather than seize the moment you do solely what Pelos dictates. What a waste for the 52d to be unrepresented

Dear Rep. Peters, your duty is to our Constitution: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare...to ourselves and our Posterity..." WE'RE#1

We have an existing LEGAL immigration "opportunity" system. In San Diego, swearing in ceremonies occur every month. 1000s of LEGAL APPLICANTS have successfully become American citizens. Here's the address for LEGAL OPPORTUNITIES: Civic Center, 1200 Third Ave, San Diego, CA 92101.

Your tweet is a tad misleading — elsewhere you have cited need for “smart” border security suggesting you too recognize the border presents both opportunities and threats if unprotected and left wide open. A deliberately false characterization suggests you have no real argument?

You want to tear down the existing wall?
