Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told America’s sheriffs he would introduce a tougher, Trump-style border policy to curb illegal immigration and ease pressure on asylum courts if he wins the presidency.

In a Q&A at the annual convention of the National Sheriffs’ Association on Monday, Kennedy ripped President Joe Biden’s open border agenda and said it is time to bring back many of the border-closing policies used by former President Donald Trump.

He said, for example, that a border wall should be erected, 2,600 more agents should be hired, 300 immigration judges should set up shop at the border, and the “Remain in Mexico” policy should be restored.

“I’m going to seal the border,” said Kennedy, who is running a distant third in the presidential race led by Trump and Biden.

“It’s easily solvable,” added Kennedy, who did not qualify for Thursday’s presidential debate.

Kennedy, who has visited the border with the sheriffs, said that fencing is needed in rural areas of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California but that the country does not need the whole 2,200-mile border fenced. “You need a fence, you need obstacles” in the areas migrants typically cross, he said.

The candidate also said the Border Patrol must hire thousands more to fill those who have quit during Biden’s term.

He said the addition of more judges should help cut the yearslong waiting periods for immigration hearings and asylum claims.

While he pushed for a border closure, Kennedy said he supports “legal” immigration and that pathways to U.S. citizenship should be eased. He said there is a need in America for more workers and that immigrants can fill that void.

Part of that policy, he said, should be the reestablishment of Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” plan, keeping migrants out of the United States until their asylum claims are completed.

And he vaguely said policy lures issued by Biden should be killed, such as the administration’s “catch and release” agenda that has opened the door to millions of illegal immigrants who first present themselves at border crossings.

“No nation can survive with an open border,” Kennedy told the Oklahoma convention. “I strongly believe that we should have a humane immigration policy that reflects the compassion of our country and the values of our country and the fact that we are all immigrants. But it has to be legal immigration.”
