Boots At The Border (Ryan's Delusional Press Release)
Office of the Speaker Speaker.Gov ^ | May 1, 2017 | Speaker Paul Ryan

Posted on 05/01/2017 10:04:21 PM PDT by nhwingut

From day one, President Trump has made it clear that securing the border is a top national priority.

Republicans in Congress couldn’t agree more. That’s why this week, Congress will vote for the biggest increase in border security funding in a long time.

Here’s what that means: More boots on the ground - Customs and Border Protection will see $12.2 billion in funding—$911 million above last fiscal year—which means more agents, enhanced technology, and better tools to stem the flow of illegal activities across our border, as President Trump requested in his own budget amendment.

The end of “catch and release” - With funding for tens of thousands of detention beds, electronic monitoring, and GPS tracking—not to mention the hiring of additional officers in the field—Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will have the resources they need to get the job done.

Stronger investigations - From cybercrime and drug smuggling to human trafficking and child exploitation, ICE will receive an additional $92 million towards their important investigative work.

Earlier this year, Speaker Ryan learned firsthand about the challenges our law enforcement professionals face along our southern border, and together with the Trump administration, Congress will provide them the tools they need to secure the border and keep Americans safe.

If congress doesn’t fund THE BORDER WALL in the September budget president Trump needs to save himself by going public against the republicans who are working against their own president.

And a president Elizabeth Warren, Chelsea Clinton, Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush can fire them all or re-assign them to AIDS awareness or transgender outreach and there won’t be a wall.

Shut up, Paul. This crap sandwich makes the Republican Congress and Trump look weak, won’t gain you any votes, and is the sort of thing that makes Republicans stay home. There really is only one party at the top.

“enhanced technology”, yeah???

It would seem logical a wall would most definitely be needed to provide for, enclose and protect monitoring points for said enhanced technology

I can smell the concrete now.

oh, and bugger off, Ryan

There are more horses asses than horses; two sterling examples are Speakers Boehner and Ryan.

The White House was singing the praises of this too acting like they won. Meanwhile, the Democrats clearly won - Chuck and Nancy are gloating, and the NYT, WaPo, and assorted liberal outlets are proclaiming victory for the Democrats.

But he's right, unfortunately....After looking at this matter .ore closely it's .y understanding that the border has to be “secured” ...say again....”secured” by increasing the surveillance, manpower, etc. before this project wall can be begun in the way and manner it needs to.

They only just got the bids let alone the designs of how it's going to be brought together the best way possible. And that takes planning and creating the enviornment to do this.....

Or we can of course do like John McCain suggested and just build a "fence".

Trump wants this done right....and a project like this is huge and must be brought together to get the best results.....the way Trump likes to see things done.

I'm not willing to settle on just a wall .....we've been building the for years down there.....I want a project that will accomplish all the purposes we're putting it there for.

Ryans delivered what he was told to deliver IMO...and according to the phases this is going to be done.

The barrier/Wall/Fence array is still in the prototype phase and likey still funded at that level.

Many Countries have experience with this issue and could provide expert help, including manning of same and legal positions/processes.

The US needs to get its act togheter, soonrr rather than later.

Well as Trump always said....we've only had idiots running things before who didn't know what they were doing.....and he's still trying to get his people in to do the work of leading where needed ....and those beneath them to carry things out the way it needs to get done....

I suspect things will come together far quicker than most think once the people are all positioned to get the job done.

But they have to secure the environment first....I wouldn't want my loved ones working down there if some one might be ready to take a shot at them to stop the progress.

Those running drugs, trafficking people and such play hardball ...when you get in their way
