We’ve got a guy that sees things just about like we do.

He has proven it time and again.

It’s disconcerting to come here and watch folks expressing concern as if he has abandoned us since being elected.

You folks have been here a long time. I know you’re good Conservatives. It’s just disheartening to see so much negativism.

We have wall going up right this very minute on the border. it is being accomplished with $370 million already allocated to repair sections of the wall. A large section of industrial fencing is being replaced by a 20 foot tall steel barrier.

This man is on our side. Illegal immigration flow has already subsided by 75 to 85%.

Despite good news, some of our folks are finding something to go negative about hourly.

We really need to stop doing this to ourselves. It’s just plain defeatist.

Just so you know the $370M is being spent to replace existing fencing.

The Trump budget would lift the legal spending cap on defense and add $54 billion to its topline funds for 2018. It also would increase funding for defense for every other year in the next decade relative to baseline projections.

He is also calling for $2.6 billion to be spent on border security. The bulk of that -- $1.6 billion -- would pay for a "new and replacement" border wall that Trump campaigned on.

$1.6B is not going to cut it.

I, for one, do not blame any of this on Trump. I blame congress. It doesn’t mean we can’t discuss the wall, healthcare, tax reform and other issues that don’t go smoothly. I blame congress for all of it.
