Being a Republican for border security does not instantly mean you are a religious fundamentalist who supports rigid across-the-board abortion. Remember, many American Hispanic, Mexican and Latino Catholics are anti- abortion. When they get inside the GOP, you can have yet another border issue there. Two things might happen: 1) lip service or 2) real border security support. In general, be cautious about operatives in political parties.
