The question now is whether Trump listens to Open Borders Mulvaney. If he puts on the radio tomorrow, he sure as hell will not.
Shelby says there is a deal?? I DON’T TRUST SHELBY OR THE REST OF THE REPUBLICANS!!
Legalize weed for the full wall
Done
Veto this sell out, Mr President.
Trump should declare a national emergency and build the wall.
Won’t surprise me if he puts up a billion of his own money for it.
Not that I can even imagine what it’d be like to do such a thing, though I suppose it’s all relative . . .
Again he spoke of the elite DC politicians who live behind walls and armed guards while denying security to “you.”
That’s is a wicked sharp point because it’s how real people feel. And — here’s the kicker — that even resonates with Democrats.
He is successfully casting the Democrats as the party of the rich.
And so many criminals wont have beds to sleep on. And the problem is?
Shelby sell out is a set up from day one .
Shelby wanted to cap the ICE Beds just as much as the Dems .
Its was a staged cheap labor express sell out farce.
I bet the Gope with Shelby proposed the ICE bed cap first .
trump should make a counter proposal: condemn the democrat infested gated communities and their walls, under eminent domain, and use the wall materials that are thus confiscated to build border walls.
if the democrats are true to their principles, they would scramble to man the bulldozers needed to implement this counter proposal.
I have a question. What happens to a person (not of Mexican citizenship) who sneaks across the border into Mexico and goes running up to the Mexican police/border patrol/cartel enforcers ?
Good. President Trump has shown that he keeps his word.
I’m tired of this discussion; everyone has already shown their cards. Declare the national emergency. Build the Wall. Press for a rapid review when America’s globalist enemies file a case in front of their hand-picked Obama judge. And then make all the necessary funding available to build 1,900 miles of Border Wall this year. Don’t just go for symbolic progress - get the job done now.
President Trump doesn’t need this issue to get reelected. Instead, he can point to the accomplishment, and push for a second big task for his second term. [I want that to be deporting every single illegal in our country, but it’s better politically if he articulates a different priority during the campaign and then deports all those criminals while also accomplishing his new goal.] How about ending HIV/AIDS completely as a second-term goal?
Throw in three more Supreme Court picks, 100-plus lower court judges, and a shift toward smaller federal government and more restrained spending, and the Trump Presidency will be a big win for America.
Quit talking and do it.
Let ‘em lay two to a bed, and eat cake. If they don’t like it, let them not come.
To be permanent and effective, the wall needs legislation and funding. Executive action is easily reversed or delayed by frivolous lawsuits.
Wall, eVerify, end anchor baby citizenship, punish employers, stop all welfare, end diversity VISA lottery, deport every damned illegal, then halt all new immigration for 25+ years.
Federalize the National Guard in all border states (thereby rebuking those DNC Governors) while at the same outlawing Sanctuary Cities. Accomplish utilizing an EO citing presidential authority as Chief LEO and CC. Utilized discretionary spending funds to build the wall and cover shortfalls for the Department Homeland Security Immigration, Customs and Enforcement activities.
By declaring a National Emergency and writing separate EOs for each aspect this plan it becomes compartimalized for legal challenges.
The part the DNC’ers cannot overturn is the federalization of the State National Guard in AZ, CA, NM, CO, TX, LA NY, WA, NV, and anywhere else that there are Sanctuary Cities. Nor the arrest of those breaking Federal Laws.
Send in the National Guard as was done to Gov McGovern in AL and declare Martial Law in those sanctuary cities using the troops - arrest those elected officials and LEO who refuse to comply with the Presidential Decree. If members of political parties are vocal or try or organize demonstrations lock’em up under Federal Statute and Legal Authority that goes with Martial Law in Sanctuary Cities as rebels or on anti-America activities - such as membership in the communist party.
The FBI can detain the political and LEO offenders those people in positions of power who are not executing their legal obligations under Federal Law it forces them to lawyer up to defend themselves against become felony offenders.
Build the wall using US Army Corps of Engineers transferred from various State functions like waterway projects by issuance of Government Contracts to companies to backfill for the CE.
FEMA emergency funds can be used to hold detainees, illegal immigrants and build housing for ICE per the 25% increase sought by the president.
This is no different from the Southern States during the Civil War - Trump is immediately sitting behind the same desk as was Lincoln.
The future belongs to those who can insulate themselves with legal authority and legally derived power to execute the laws of this great Nation.
I’m disappointed that he’s still talking about it. Actions speak louder than words.
While I’d hope that this isn’t what he does, here’s one possibility... if he takes the money offered, that’s a lot less he has to take from other sources for the rest.
If the President DOES sign a ‘compromise’ bill of some kind, I’ll first want to know what’s in it. And then it’s a question of what is going to happen next in this war for our country.
In Congress, we just don’t have the proverbial boots on the ground for a proverbial frontal assault, despite what we were howling for. That’s partially our own fault.
So we have to use different tactics, many of which may be distasteful for straightforward persons like us, but if we get the wall in the end, they’ll be worth it.
