Trump Expected to Order Mexican Border Wall
NY Slimes ^ | 1/24/2017 | Maggie Haberman

WASHINGTON — President Trump will order the construction of a Mexican border wall on Wednesday, White House officials said, and is mulling plans to stop Syrian refugees from entering the country and to slash immigration of refugees from “terror prone” nations, perhaps as early as this week.

During an appearance at the Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday, Mr. Trump plans to sign an executive order to direct federal funds to be shifted toward the building of a wall on the southern border that became a signature promise of his campaign. He has argued that doing so is vital to gaining control over the illegal flow of immigrants into the United States.

I would love to go back 6 months and see who was spewing hatred towards Trump and now is praising him?

I remember so many people here on FR trying to shove this “he is a democrat” and “he is not conservative” meme down my throat and having to eat a little crow now.

Better late than never that we seem united and happy now!

I’m so exhausted. Almost to the point of wanting a break.

Sorry for you.

I am finally getting a breath of fresh air!

I am in favor of motion-sensor controlled quad-.50s mounted in towers every mile, so that they have interlocking fields of fire. I
That’ll cut down on border hopping a bit.

They’re already calling him the devil. He just needs to do what he said he was going to do and when the sky doesn’t fall then he will look a lot better than his detractors.

Thank you. You’re a good artist. ( Trump’s lapel pin is too large)

Sounds good to me. Cut the money and put it towards the wall and more border patrol.

The Federal Government needs to start acquiring land on the borders to build small Joint Military bases there every few hundred miles with airports and training grounds for combat troops. Also need areas to process any illegals that are captured.

Don’t know; it is a stock photo found on a search for “wall”.

There was a Daily Mail story where he was to have said something like you are going to be happy (addressing the DREAMERS). Hopefully it was BS reporting

I'm going to make a prediction:

Eight years from now Donald Trump will not look remarkably any older than a comparable man of his age.

The normal strain of being President of the United States isn't going to affect him. Why? Because he's NOT going to be fixated and obsessed with fooling the people and satisfying those he's beholden to because of politics and favors. Trump is DOING what he said he would do, no more and no less. The past few presidents were so focused on their "legacies" that it took a huge toll on them physically. The worries, the frustrations, WAY more stress than anybody should have to endure. But they endured because it was more important to have their names in the history books than actually accomplishing anything substantially positive.

Trump has no need for that. He is acting like a man aloof from the nonsense of the past nearly three decades.

It really is an amazing thing to behold. And eight years from now, he's going to appear not much the worse for wear.

Negotiate a mile wide free fire zone a mile deep on the Mexican side.
