A little while ago many here were asking why the Pentagon (actually the White House) was seeking to cancel the half life refuelling of a Nimitz class CVN. Well this is why, they believe the money would be better spent on a flimsy Border Fence (one that blows down in a strong wind!) to keep out the 5% of immigrants who enter the USA by land. The other 95% fly in or come through the docks legally with Visas but just don't go back when they expire. Why worry, isn't MEXICO going to pay for it...?
