This is a stand which must be taken.
Yup. And a trade wall with China ;)
This is a stand which must be taken.
When you own the House, Senate,Supreme Court and White House its a really bad picture to paint.
Yep, if Congress doesn’t appropriate at least $5 billion for the wall, shut it down and make it a top campaign issue.
Force Congress to vote; force them to try to override his veto.
We’ll see who funds the wall.
Most importantly win decisively the 2018 election and then do whatever is necessary on behalf of the American people.
More importantly he is forcing quisling Republican congresscritters to take a stand, once and for all.
LoL love the meme!
If Obama could come up with $150 B for Iran... why can’t congress come up with $ X B for border security improvements/a WALL?
This is the reason he was elected.
Build that wall!!!
Margaret Thatcher: This is no time to go wobbly. (1990)
Build the Wall (us, 2018)
A better and more lib head exploding response would be to declare war on Southern border invasion from MX de beyond and prepare to deploy American troops
Maybe between zer0 doing that and skimming off with God only knows how much as well...
There’s nothing left.
As a side note to this thread, please consider the following about the fed’s constitutionally limited powers.
Given that running the US Mail Service (1.8.7) is one of the very few powers that the states have actually delegated to the feds where making domestic policy is concerned, most federal domestic spending programs based on stolen state powers and likewise stolen state revenues, consider that one of the few indications of a peacetime federal government shutdown would normally be slower mail service.
”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
He has as much opposition from RINOs as from the Democrats only they are sneakier.
Yep, the Bush League Republicans are as opposed to a wall and enforcement as are the Democrats.
And yet we are still urged to vote for them...........
If Congress doesn’t appropriate every damned penny needed to build the wall now, shut it down and make it a top campaign issue.
