If We Want to End the Border Crisis, It’s Time to Give Trump His Wall (the winds are shifting)

So give him his f@#!ing wall. He won the election. He is owed this. It may never be completed; it may not work, as hoped. But it is now the only way to reassure a critical mass of Americans that mass immigration is under control, and the only way to make any progress under this president. And until the white working and middle classes are reassured, we will get nowhere. Don’t give it to him for nothing, of course. It should come with a full path to citizenship for all DACA immigrants, as in the proposed deal in January that Trump first liked and then reneged on, under Miller’s toxic influence. But it should also go bigger: a legislative fix for Flores; massive new funding for detention facilities, humane family-friendly housing, and, above all, much more money for the immigration legal system, now completely overwhelmed by asylum cases. If Democrats can show they want to deal with the humanitarian problem as a whole, and are willing to compromise on the wall, they’ll be in a much stronger position going forward than in the recent past.*

Trump should start a deportation force consisting of all fifty states national guard forces. He can federalize them by executive order. Start at the canadian border and start pushing south from there. Each day round up as many as possible and fly them to Guantanamo to await their extradition hearings. This would not have to be completed the plan alone would force many millions of criminal aliens to self deport. Also the democrats would bleat and cry but then they would give in and allow the wall to be built.

Sullivan has stumbled onto an inconvenient truth: you can’t both claim that there is a border crisis and fight Trump’s signature solution tooth and nail. The media blitz didn’t take and November looms large. If Trump takes “Build The Wall” into the midterms it’s a winning issue, and the latest media frenzy only reinforced that point. Sullivan is saying “cut your losses and negotiate for the best deal.” Which would be good advice but it’s being offered to a shrieking, spittle-throwing mob that is not amenable to reason, driven by media who are perfectly happy admitting to their lies and still doubling down on them. Stay armed, stay safe, and get out the vote!

The welfare benefits.

Shush!

Someone will compare the Welfare Queen's brood of brats to Anchor Babies; which INSURE a geometric rise in the number of 'recipients' in the coming generations.

We need to end welfare for illegals, birthright citizenship, and chain migration.


We need to end welfare for Baby Mamas, multiple bastardy and fatherless upbring.

Even Barack Hussein Obama (mm mm mmm) put a wall around his Kalorama house after he moved in.

Typical case of liberal NIMBY.

If you put up an electrified barb wire fence around a goat pen, I would also bet my house that that goat won't get out

My 4 were definitely stopped by the electric fence that I put up.

For about a day.

Then they learned to tolerate the short jolt and crash on thru.

You can keep your house.

“He can federalize them by executive order”

Some liberal judge would overturn it within 24 hours.

When one is speaking of doable little Andrew, the double entendre is always appropriate, and double-entered is also very often the case.
