Donald Trump's immigration policy is insane. But at least he has one.

tw number 2, didn’t politicians already vote the money for this wall, promise to build it, and even gave lying certifications that it was built when they did almost nothing?

Yup. The Secure Fence Act.

"The Secure Fence Act of 2006 was enacted October 26, 2006 and is a part of President George W. Bush’s effort on immigration reform which was intended to allow the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to gain operational control over the entire United States-Mexico border and maritime border. The Act addresses the evaluation and construction of physical barriers and advanced technology in reinforcing fencing along the southern U.S. border, and assisting in the enforcement of immigration security in specified areas."

I want a wall for psychological reasons. It would tell Americans that there is a border and we are serious. We a have a tight border with North Korea. It can be done.

Why would he show his cards? It would be like Obama’s announcement that he would withdraw troops from Iraq, which he did, and Americans died and now Iraq has been completely undone. Many lives sacrificed for nothing. Why should Trump give away the store at this point? He would have many options to choose from in a negotiation, and a good negotiator is not going to tell the other side what to expect.

“Making them pay” does not necessarily mean making them sit down and write a check. There are many assets and valuables to choose from; and many levers to exert influence. Mineral or oil rights and/or percentages, leases, land deals, tariffs, trade embargoes, withdrawal of previous benefits, etc etc.

“The U.S. built the Panama Canal, the Hoover dam, the intercontinental railroad, the interstate highway system, put a man on the moon, but we can’t build a fence?”

What Bush, Sr. called the “new world order” is not a conspiracy. It is a fact that many of the Western elite have been working for for decades. It is a fact and it is progressing. They are weakening the Western nations and economies so the native people will not be united and strong enough to resist them and put them down. They plan to use a UN army (foreign soldiers) against us. They are really mad that the US has yet to disarm it’s citizens. They don’t want the take over to be bloody or even much discussed or noticed, if possible.

I have a hard time believing they will be successful in this plan for a world government ruling over all the Nations (they call them states and regions) of the globe. But I have no doubt of their desire and intent to do so. The first move will be to crash Western economies and others and enact a global currency and regulation. They are doing this through invasion (massive immigration) and bad monetary policy (debt). Multiculturalism is a Western cultural cleansing operation to weaken Western native people and to keep the immigrants ignorant of freedom and it’s history and culture.

Climate change treaties give control over the “means of production” of the globe to UN leaders - the power of dictating the use and cost (global taxation) of energy to the globe’s “states.” Most Western people have no idea of what is behind the climate change scam.

The Pope is bringing up global government taxation with wealth distribution on a global level - “state to state.” It’s the Marxist end game, but in cahoots with global corporations - modeled after China’s government and society.
This is a bad hat Pope in power right now.

I agree, and especially on your last point.
