Kartographer, the President can’t stop the flood of people from the south all by himself with Congress and the judiciary working against him. With a few bad Republicans getting out with the midterm election, we have a chance for a conservative majority that will help the President by correcting some bad legislation that mandates the catch-and-release operations that we’ve been seeing.
Our U.S. government has a separation of powers between three branches: the executive, the legislative and the judicial. The President can’t do it all by himself.
There are Internet sites that can be found for learning about civics or how the U.S. government works. I once took a university course called American Government, and it was helpful (but intense, fast and voluminous).
Here’s an easy way to learn a little about the legislative process with a few short videos. It should be a little helpful. Be sure to look up a site that teaches more about how our government works. It should be easy to find.
The Legislative Process

JoSixChip, in my opinion, we need to bring some civics learning materials to Free Republic. I haven’t seen texts or other information from bills posted here except for a few posted by me in the past. It’s a shame, really. There’s no copyright problem with posting bills in full, because taxpayers pay for government documents written on government time or with government funding.
And Pat Buchanan? He ranks right up there close to Lyndon LaRouche, although he’s a little more subtle. At least Alex Jones moved some of the Booby Hatch Constituency to the right over the course of about 20 years and dropped them in our laps. LOL!
I trust Trump.
I don’t understand you & Joe6pack. POTUS is commander & chief of the military. When people say you & what army POTUS has one.
If he can’t deploy the troops to close the border in that area he is all bark & no bite. I don’t believe he will allow that to happen. POTUS has said this mob of migrants will not cross our border. He does not indulge in empty words.
They will not cross and he will use this crisis not waste it.
You are so wrong. Because whenever some leftwing judge or a neutered congress goes against the president your kind supports the action as absolute and immutable.
Listen up--the three co-equal branches of government were NOT created to act IN UNISON. They were created to CROSS-CHECK one another. There is a difference.
Class dismissed.
(2) President Trump is Commander in Chief. This is an organized, financed invasion. Of course he can defend our borders. The real questions are how a President can authorize arming terrorists in Syria and regime change all over the place without Congressional approval.
