Drug smugglers are being helped by the Democratic leaders in Congress who are trying to block funding for a border wall, says President Donald Trump.
He is using Twitter to hit the Democrats as enablers for the criminal gangs that are smuggling deadly drugs into American cities and towns around the nation, and which are sending murderous MS-13 gang members into Americans’ neighborhoods.
The strategy makes sense because it is true, and because many of the Americans who will vote in 2018 are increasingly concerned about the rising death toll from Mexican-supplied heroin and other drugs. In July 2016, Breitbart News reported:
Voters want safer communities as they see crime rates rising. The Opinion Research Corporation found that 58 percent of voters think politicians aren’t doing enough to keep drug traffickers off the streets, but only 30 percent thought we lock up drug traffickers for too long, a 2-to-1 margin.
Remarkably, female respondents expressed much more support for stronger enforcement than men, with 62 percent of women (mothers, daughters, wives) saying not enough is done to keep traffickers far from their families — indicating a law and order agenda is an issue that can win over significant numbers of women voters.
In response, Democrats are saying Trump should get the Mexican government to pay for the wall up-front.

I want to see Schumer stroke out and end up a drooling fool.
Love it. Very true.
1. Fed gov wants illegals here and
2. States (esp mine CA) want to pay them all day long here and even
3. Don’t want the convicted criminals to have to leave here.
Problem is the Republican donor class seems determined that the border must not be seriously controlled and they appear to be winning on this issue, regardless of popular opinion. And then we despise the Republican even more, donate even less to them, and they become ever more dependent on the large donors.
Of course they do. Where do you think their funding comes from?
Bet Schiff and washerwoman are in full cover up mode for the last few months.
Loving it!
Finally a Republican that can make the dems look like the bad guys. It really doesn’t take much. The dems support foreign illegals over Americans and all the crime and money spent that comes with it. The dems don’t support the security of our nation. Repeat repeat repeat.
I’ve been thinking about that...doesn’t Devos have that responsibility, and if so, what’s the hold up? I’m waiting on her to delete common core....
Democrat leadership could not pay for their fancy homes and properties without the drug trafficking income.
This statement is so true, all others pale by comparison to it.
Don’t let the fake media tell you that I have changed my position on the WALL. It will get built and help stop drugs, human trafficking etc.

It's the face of the human race. Has been throughout time.
I love the fact that he has his finger on the pulse with us conservatives. Always reassures us with his tweets.
He is Right about that.
I hope Trump sticks to his guns on this border wall. We here in Texas have had to live with rampant illegal immigration for decades and all the sweet lil gifts it brings us.
Educating, incarcerating, housing, food assistance, dwi, driving w/o insurance, all manner of crime, drugs, prostitution, gang bangers...you name it.
We need a wall down on the border, not only because of the reasons I just listed, but because we've been promised this damn wall for years and congress failed to appropriate the funds for it after elected a decade or so ago.
Brilliant move!
Is that the rat party with a (D) or the rat party with an (R). I can't keep score any more.
If you pay careful attention you will see that Trump has not caved on anything since taking office.
I guess I missed the DACA repeal on the first day....or any day for that matter.
But whatever.
That’s immigration policy, which he’s plowing through on full steam ahead.
