President Donald Trump's statement at the Mexican border implies he no longer believes he can make the United States great again. Or, perhaps he doesn't know how a Great America would act in such a situation.
Trump said: "Our country is full, our area is full, the sector is full, cant take you anymore. Im sorry, cant happen, so turn around -- thats the way it is, Trump's statement is pathetic. He sounds like he is whining. He spoke like the head of a weak powerless nation who doesn't expect any improvement in the future.
The president of a Great America would try to take advantage of the presence of the people at the border to build a wall to keep criminals from using the Mexican border. He might declare a humanitarian emergency and hire the border people to build The Wall. He would give them an opportunity to prove they want to work by offering them jobs building the wall. Instead of whining about the number of would be immigrants, he would use the number of "refugees" to justify using emergency powers to protect them from economic distress.
Part of the funding for the program should come from money earmarked for the countries the border people come from. Instead of rewarding the sanctuary cities by increasing their population just before the census that determines how much federal funding they receive President Trump should use part of the funds that go to local governments to pay the wall builders.
The people at the border probably don't understand our badly outdated immigration laws and procedures. They are at the border because they have been told they can find a better life here. They to find a better life because they believe The United States of America is a great nation. Does President Donald Trump?
Has The Janitor forwarded these suggestions to DJT?
The author is an idiot.
I suspect that will be the tactic the Left will try to use to try to make Trump lose his base.
The author is an idiot.
Who is a paid liar and BSer for the illegal alien thugs.
Even a great nation has limits to the number of parasites it can support.
The author is an idiot.
Yep.
Is he one of those creepy janitors that hangs around the kids a little to much?
I didn’t hear his factual statements as an admission of ‘weakness’ at all. Quite the contrary, to me it takes guts for a modern day American President to openly stand up for it’s citizens before any foreigner. Pandering to so called acceptable ideas of no borders is how we got into this mess.
The author is an imbecile.
The author is an idiot. Trump made those remarks to send a message to the invaders. It is incredible how many people (especially libs) take cannot discern a Trump negotiating message from an earnest promise.
Thanks for summing it up.
I noticed that too.
Exactly. A whinger & a whiner & an idiot or a plant.

‘I suspect that will be the tactic the Left will try to use to try to make Trump lose his base.’
Yep, it has worked on virtually every other Republican president - as they were TOO DUMB to realize what was going on.
But it won’t work on Trump supporters, as we know what’s on the other side MUCH BETTER than ever before.
Written by someone with zero understanding of the border issues.
While the large groups are asking for asylum, they are not magical people- they are not all good, upstanding, hard workers. Some are hardened criminals, some are seeking handouts.
The author’s statement that the people coming dodn’t understand our immigration laws. That is hilarious, they indeed understand our immigration laws far better than most citizens. That is why they are coming in large groups to take advantage of recent court decisions that allow them to do so.
Contractors for the border fence have their own skilled workers and if they didn’t it is still a terrible idea to give jobs to those who come illegally over citizens and legal workers. That is one thing that got us where we are today.
This article is complete nonsense.
Yes, they no doubt thought this was the behavior we intended:
Looking for a fat lip?
