The actions, part of a multi-day focus on immigration, are among an array of sweeping and immediate changes to the nation’s immigration system under consideration by the new president. The moves represent Trump’s first effort to deliver on perhaps the signature issue that drove his presidential campaign: his belief that illegal immigration is out of control and threatening the country’s safety and security.
...
On Wednesday, Trump plans to speak to a town hall of employees at the Department of Homeland Security’s headquarters in Washington, where he is expected to sign the orders relating to the wall and “sanctuary cities.” The effort to crack down on these localities will resonate with the Republican base, which has long criticized local officials who refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. ..
White House aides said Trump planned to meet Wednesday with several parents of children who were killed by immigrants who are in the country illegally.

Full title: Trump to sign executive orders enabling construction of proposed border wall and targeting sanctuary cities
Does anybody know at what time this will occur and where it will be televised?
his belief that illegal immigration is out of control and threatening the country’s safety and security
***********************************************
I hate the Ministry of Propaganda
It is not just his belief.
Illegal aliens ARE out of control and DO threaten our safety and security.
For the Wapo, this ain’t bad.
That looks more like “Boozing”
I hope Congress is working on creating legislation to make these Trump EOs permanent.
I thought it was all already there - the dollars, the approvals, it’s just that Obamaturd never executed the law as written *shock!*.
Border walls go UP. Sanctuary city walls fall DOWN.
I was tempted to start a Trump #Winning Drinking Game.
But then being drunk 24/7 might get a bit problematic when you have to pick up some more booze.
he border wall was already voted on in 2004 and it passed. Bush the douche didn’t build it.
I remember at one of Trump’s rallys, he said that he could fix the problems quickly. Easy fix, you’ll be surprised how fast things can get fixed. I thought he was talkin’ months; but, it turns out he was talkin’ DAYS. I am amazed every morning this week, as I turn on my TV to Varney, and he is listing multiple things Trump as done already that day. Wow.
I like the sound of that.
Perhaps we'll see an executive order by tomorrow, commanding every federal agency to faithfully execute our immigration laws to the letter, which will begin the southward exodus.
rallies
I was wondering when I typed it; but, I thought the most important part was what he said at the rally; and, what he has done since.
Me too. He's doing so much, so fast, I'm already beginning to lose track of his accomplishments.
Gotta make a list .. LOL
Trump signs executive orders on border wall, US ‘sanctuary cities’
WASHINGTON, Jan 25 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed directives to build a wall
along the U.S. border with Mexico and crack down on U.S. cities that shield illegal immigrants, proceeding
quickly on sweeping and divisive plans to curb immigration and boost national security.
The Republican president is also expected to take steps in the coming days to limit legal immigration,
including executive orders restricting refugees and blocking the issuing of visas to people from
several Muslim-majority Middle Eastern and North African countries including Syria, Sudan, Somalia,
Iraq, Iran, Libya and Yemen.
Trump signed two executive orders during an appearance at the Department of Homeland Security, one on
building a wall along the roughly 2,000-mile (3,200-kilometer) U.S.-Mexico border and the other
to strip federal grant money from “sanctuary” states and cities, often governed by Democrats, that
harbor illegal immigrants.
In an interview with ABC News on Wednesday, Trump said construction on the wall would start within
months, with planning starting immediately, and that Mexico would pay back to the United States
“100 percent” of the costs.
Oh, you're right. The content of your post was definitely more important than your misspelling of one word.
You made a very good point in that post. The man is amazing all of us, and giving the left brain aneurysms.
