Support what holds up. Dispute what doesn't.
Jim Justice recommended that the Trump administration step back and evaluate what it could do better on immigration enforcement.
“we probably got to step back from it and say: ‘Maybe we’re doing something wrong here or there,’ and then adjust to that.”
Jim Justice said the administration should acknowledge that it may be doing something wrong and adjust its approach.
“To get better, the first thing you got to do is admit you’re doing something wrong”
