Donald Trump speaking in Austin: Border security ‘our most vital issue’
Statesman ^ | Aug. 23, 2016 | Staff

Posted on 08/23/2016 7:09:06 PM PDT by Innovative

Entering to sustained applause, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told his Austin audience that “the people of Texas are proud, they’re independent and they are free. There is no better place to deliver the message I have to deliver tonight.”

“Tonight’s message is about re-declaring our independence as a country,” Trump said. “We are going to declare our independence from special interests, corrupt politicians … and from a rigged system that benefits only the insiders,” he said.

Interrupted periodically by protesters, Trump called border security “our most vital issue” and voiced support for school choice and merit pay for teachers.

Trump has all the right ideas, the courage to express them and to actually implement them.

Trump will build the wall and put in place a Muslim ban which is what is needed in this time and age to save America and save freedom itself! Donate on his website : the Stakes couldn’t be higher.

Hillary Clinton will outdo Merkel and allow even More Muslims to move to America so that they can establish Sharia law in many cities as they are already about to try in Detroit. Then Hillary promises Amnesty and Chain migration to illegals(bring in your families from Mexico , India and the Middle East) this will turn the USA into a 3rd world socialist hell hole not fit to be a cess pool.

Trump arrived and risked all his fortune to Save America , save the West and freedom . Has there ever been a greater hero to risk all his billions for America? No. Charles Martel saved Europe from Islam and Muslims in the middle Ages ,Washington saved the USA from old King George, William Wallace freed Scotland from England, but none risked this kind of wealth to save a country like America and freedom like Trump is risking it all for US. fight for freedom ! help elect Trump , donate on his website. The stakes couldn’t be higher. Trump will build the wall and put in place a Muslim ban which is what is needed in this time and age to save America and save freedom itself!

Well really Trump was not in Texas today, he was in East Sacramento.

He seems to only visit left wing cities.

Trump was in Texas to highlight border security and problems with illegal aliens. Sorry that does not meet your approval.

Why not Texas? We are drowning in illegals who come roaring unabated across the border. Best place in the world to pitch the wall.

Our Legislature convenes next year. Maybe the House will get over its love affair with the teacher’s union and initiate state wide school choice. Also on true Conservatives agenda is to kick Straus out on his dupa. We need a new House Speaker.

He had fundraisers in Ft. Worth and Austin today so it was appropriate for another rally.

“Asked by Hannity if there was room to accommodate immigrants who have been law abiding and “contribute to society,” Trump indicated that there could be a “softening because we’re not looking to hurt (such) people.”

Hannity trying to hem Trump in, would make him look like a sadist to say anything else with that kind of build-up.

The illegals will vote for democrats. Why cannot Hannity understand that. The illegals will vote democrat if they have the chance.And democrats are hell bent on destroying the country. It is adios America.

If the illegals were law abiding, they would not have broken the law and sneaked in.

Hannity can be such an idiot.
