Former President Donald Trump’s said that if he wins the presidency again, his first executive action would be to restart construction of the wall on the southern U.S. border.
The president told Epoch TV’s “Kash’s Corner” on Jan. 31 that completing the wall has a significance that extends beyond domestic policy because it would project an image of strength to China’s Xi Jinping and other world leaders.
“First of all, the wall, even for him,” Trump said referring to Xi. “You know why? Because when he sees millions of people pouring into our country, he loses respect for our country.” The interview will premiere at 8 p.m. Eastern on Feb. 7.
“When him and Putin and Kim Jong Un and Iran’s leaders, when they’re watching millions of people walk into our country … They lose respect.”
President Joe Biden rescinded or froze dozens of Trump’s border policies upon taking office in January last year. The relaxed policies have led to a flood of illegal aliens crossing the border in volumes unseen for decades.
Border Patrol agents apprehended 1.9 million illegal crossers in 2021, four times as many as were apprehended in 2020 under Trump. The number of unaccompanied children crossing the U.S.–Mexico border reached an all-time high in 2021.
Biden froze the construction of the wall with an executive order issued on the day of his inauguration. Millions of dollars worth of materials have languished in the deserts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas since and could now be sold for scrap for pennies on the dollar. The wall’s accompanying roads, cameras, and sensors have remained uninstalled or unfinished.
I submit something better -- Sack every FedGov employee within a 30-mile radius of the White House.
You want to drain the swamp? Nuke it.
The wall must be completed and enforcement restored.
Endorsing Amnesty Senators is counter to saving America.
First thing he ought to do is to free the J6 political prisoners.
completing the wall has a significance that extends beyond domestic policy because it would project an image of strength to China’s Xi Jinping and other world leaders.
Not only free them but give them compensation (that can never be fulfilled) for their time in jail and also round up the persons responsible for this dark blot on America's history and bring them to justice.
Trump had 4 years as the leader of the greatest nation on earth to complete the wall. He only managed to complete 47 miles of new primary border wall during his tenure. (Source : US Customs and Border Protection report January 8, 2021)
Just the facts.
Build the wall, tighten and enforce the law, deport them all! End anchor babies, end chain migration, end DACA, end sanctuary cities! Go, Trump, GO!!
It’s a bit shocking to see some on this site actually imply that the border was ‘secure’ under Trump. Nothing really changed or slowed down at all.
Trump had opposition from the Democrats, the Republicans, all the alphabet agencies and the Ministry of Propaganda.
It’s amazing what he did get done.
The return to Mexico policy was keeping them out.
Additions to this list are welcome.
I think that his first act should be to reinstate every military person forced out because they refused to be vaccinated. They should be reinstated at least at their current rank and with full service time credit for the period of forced separation.
Is it 2016?...
“Not only free them but give them compensation”
THAT should come through civil courts. They should stand up some lawsuits to claw the eyes out of these politicians that abused these institutions.
Clean out the FBI, CIA &DOJ. Free political prisoners who have been deprived of due process. Get back to being energy independent. No more illegals and complete the wall. No more mask mandates. Bring back those that have been fired for not getting vaccinated and give them back pay. Purge the country of corrupt politicians especially those that are bought and sold by foreign countries. Above all MAGA!
Within minutes of issuing such an executive order, a Federal Judge would order a halt to any wall construction. Perhaps to protect the migration patterns of desert tortoises or butterflies.
Don’t forget he was obstructed at every turn by the RATS & RINOS.
Will they still be alive?
