Grab a shovel, America -- President Trump is about to build that wall.
The White House on Wednesday rolled out a series of executive actions on immigration and border security – designed to restore American sovereignty – an issue I address in my new book, “The Deplorables’ Guide to Making America Great Again.”
Among other things – President Trump announced a crackdown on sanctuary cities that harbor illegal aliens. He also plans to provide the Department of Homeland Security with more resources to fight illegal immigration.
And remember the Obama administration’s “catch and release” policies? Well, those days are now over.
In other words -- all of you illegals out there might want to pack a bag and catch the next Greyhound bus to Nuevo Laredo.
The president also plans on temporarily suspending visas from countries that are loaded with radical Muslims – places like Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and Libya.
“These executive orders will not make our nation any safer, rather it will make our nation more fearful and less welcoming, and such restrictions run contrary to (the) very founding principles of our nation,” Hassan Shibly, executive director of CAIR-Florida told CNN.
It’s no surprise that critics are enraged – accusing the administration of being xenophobic and Islamophobic. They seem to think we should roll out the red carpet for illegals at the expense of law-abiding Americans.
We are barely a week into the Trump presidency and he's already managed to dump TPP, engage pro-lifers, rattle Democrats and discombobulate the mainstream media.
I really like this guy.
I mean, the sheer scope of his immigration policies is incredible. He’s cracking down on sanctuary cities -- temporarily suspending visas from hotbeds of radical Islam and building a wall.
We’re going to build a wall, America! To be honest, there were moments during the presidential campaign when I wondered if the wall was some sort of metaphor. But no sir! By golly, he plans on building a great, big, larger-than-life, Trump signature wall.
Imagine that, folks -- a Republican president who does what he promised to do on the campaign trail. Never in all my life did I think I'd see that day.
All I can say is thank you, Mr. President. Thank you for keeping your word.
To be clear, the president's executive orders are not xenophobic or Islamophobic. They are not anti-Mexican or anti-refugee. Rather, President Trump's immigration and border security policies are pro-American. I know that must be a shocking concept – especially after the past eight years.
But President Trump promised to put America first -- and he's delivering on that promise.
To the nations of the world -- we are more than happy to welcome your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. But if it's all the same -- you can just keep the deadbeats and reprobates -- and the people who want to blow us up.
I suspect we are about to start seeing that.
Particularly if Trump makes eVerify mandatory.
Since when does a Muslim white supremacist have any credibility on the founding principles of our nation?
And cut housing, welfare and food stamps.
He also needs to halt all DACA applications.
USCIS is still running Obama’s illegal DACA program as before, 140-150 illegal aliens every day are being given work permits and permission to stay on top of the 750,000 already issued.
Even if they do not rescind all the papers already issued, they need to stop issuing new ones.
Founder of CAIR Omar Ahmad:
“If you choose to live here (in America) … you have a responsibility to deliver the message of Islam,” he said.
Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant, he said. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth, he said.
WHY DOES THE WALL COST $20 MILLION PER MILE?????
Because concrete and steel isn’t cheap!
High suicide rates, heroin addiction, and misery among among American citizens will go down when stress from dealing with criminal illegals - AND unfair job competition - is ended.
They will now use alternative entry points into America, like from Canada.
I bet Cuba is getting more visiters, who may think they can now enter through Cuba.
Better passports need to be started up.
“...accusing the administration of being xenophobic and Islamophobic.”
In other words, THIS Administration is not afraid of calling out THE ENEMY within our borders!
Well done, President Trump.
So. Much. WINNING! :)
It's a great day!

That will be a monumental step forward. This will be the death knell for business models that rely on illegal labor.
Thats the estimate of current US steel and US made portland cement costs. Too little of it in America.
US made steel has atrophied because of politics, blame the Clintons.Chinese steel IS cheaper, in more than one way, not suitable.Bigger profit margins.
Sooo.....
Whats really needed is new steel and portland cement plants IN AMERICA.
China pretty much put out of business portland cement plants, i know because i manage a concrete batch plant, years ago we had cement shortages in Alaska becsuse China used most of all cement production for the Three Gorges Dam.
As others have pointed out, the borders are the main areas of scrutiny. Other areas must be seaports and airports.
I suspect the costs may be predicated and guesstimated upon the costs for constructing a mile of interstate road. How accurate this is for construction on our southern border is debatable.
See this: “In 1996 dollars, the Federal Highway Administration has calculated the “weighted rural and urban combined” costs per mile of interstate highway to be $20.6 million.(9) Other highway construction normally ranges from $1 million to $5 million per mile, but in mountainous regions, like West Virginia, the costs can be as ...”

President Trump needs to instruct DHS/ICE to re-institute carefully monitored Tip Lines , in every State , where citizens can report in on their direct observations of illegal alien activity & activities indicative of terrorism .
Let the American people get on board with the new approaches and create a Fed Gov that is responsive to their assistance and information provided .
