Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., joined 'Fox & Friends' address the need for a zero-tolerance policy on illegal immigration after migrants were allowed through a border gate in Texas.
Paul explained his idea for a zero-tolerance policy for illegal immigration.
"Anybody who is caught in the act of coming in should be immediately placed back on the other side. No process, nothing. If you were caught breaking in, not through a normal portal of entry, you should go back on the other side of the river immediately." Paul suggested a compromise by increasing the methods for lawful immigration in order to crack down on illegal immigration.
"We should put more resources to allow more people to come and apply in a normal fashion at the port of entry. But I would have zero tolerance. And once you did that for about six months, and while I was not opposed to the wall, I think you could do it with helicopters and with maybe 50 stations along the border, and you could have it done in a month."Elizabeth Heckman is a digital production assistant with Fox News.
