In a marquee Friday night speech in Rapid City, South Dakota, Trump laid out his case for Congressional action to force President Joe Biden’s hand at the border. Trump’s remarks come as reports indicate Biden is considering a plan to require many aliens requesting asylum to remain in Texas.
“We cannot wait until 2025 to begin stopping this horrible invasion,” Trump insisted after badgering Biden for dismantling his progress in securing the border. “That is why tonight I am calling on Congressional Republicans to ban Joe Biden from using a single tax dollar … to release or resettle illegal aliens into the United States, starting on the government funding deadline of September 30.”
With broad consensus in the Senate to advance spending bills devoid of hot-button conservative priorities, the House is expected to be the battleground for border security spending and policy change debates. Indeed, many conservatives have already begun to lay out the need for both increased spending at the border as well as policy changes to force the Biden administration into additional action.
Democrats have a history of brushing off Trump’s demands at the border, even forcing a partial government shutdown in December 2018 in protest of four billion dollars for border wall construction that Republicans inserted into government funding legislation. Democrats eventually won that battle, with Republicans surrendering after several weeks.

Trump spent much of his approximately 100-minute speech touting his administration’s record on immigration and border security, including negotiating the “Remain in Mexico” policy and deportation of illegal alien criminals by the thousands. “We created the most secure border in U.S. history, built nearly 500 miles of border wall, got Mexico to give us 28,000 soldiers … free of charge, while we were building the wall,” said Trump. “We built almost 500 miles.” He referenced 200 additional miles of construction that were set to begin that were halted by Biden after taking office.
Trump promised to immediately terminate Biden’s open border promises if reelected but made clear the need for Congressional Republicans to act now.
Trump is right again.
I’m generally sympathetic to immigrants but his Biden regime is absurd. And do many are getting in from terrorist infested places like iraq and Afghanistan and Libya and Iran and etc. it must get stopped!
Unfortunately, most of our Republicans are worthless uniparty.
Democrats whining about “gimme illegals” pouring into their freebie-laden sanctuary cities, is getting louder; liberal cities and states are in the economic pain that they happily inflicted on border areas.
“Tolerant and compassionate” libs preached the standard left-wing lie, insisting
<><>illegals were the economic engine driving our country
<><>better people than us horrible Americans,
<><>they worked harder,
<><>contributed more to society than breakfast burritos
<><>and committed fewer crimes than those awful Americans.
So if illegals were so great, Massachusetts, NYC, Chicago, etc, wouldn’t be whining, they’d be raving about booming economies, counting the increased tax revenue, and begging for more illegals to pour in.
Everything virtue signalling Democrats said about illegal aliens has been a lie.
<><>They aren’t an economic plus, they’re a disaster.
<><>if they pay taxes at all, (many work sub rosa), it’s a drop in the bucket.
Compare the income to the outgo: costs of social programs they Hoover up like Hunter Biden in a room full of cocaine-covered hookers.
One need not have pangs of conscience on this issue. The problem is not immigrants. It's armed incurions led by cartels colluding with Socialists and RINOs to violate our immigration laws. If ever there were a RICO violation this is it.
These same people bitch about Israel resettling refugees, yet it’s being done right here in the good, old U.S.A.
7,000,000 and counting every day.
Be conservative and add 5-10% every year just in new citizens thanks to birthright citizenship.
And we haven’t even been dealt the school and property tax increases to pay for all of them yet.
My father, his parents and two brothers were legal immigrants to this country in 1913. They were quarantined on Ellis Island until they were medically cleared to be released. They also had to have a sponsor already in this country, in order for them to come here. These people invading our borders are not immigrants, but law breakers. Part of it is their fault, because they know they are breaking the law, and doing it anyway, knowing they will never be held accountable. The main fault with the influx of illegals into this country has always been with Democrat Administrations, because they look upon these illegals as adding to their voting block. That's the only reason they want them here. Not to enhance our country, but to help the Democrat party to gain permanent control of the government.
Republicans have been MIA on this for years, along with voter fraud. The GOP is not our friend. Trump is not the GOP. That is why they and Democrats have tried these past 8 years to get rid of him, one way or another. I won't help them by voting for a Republican substitute for Trump. I won't ever vote for another Republican Presidential candidate if they won't fight for me, or the country. I'd rather sit home on Election Day, than hold my nose and vote for someone I know won't be good for our country, just to keep the seat in Republican hands. If it comes to that, I will simply write Donald Trump's name on the ballot, even if he's dead.
“I’m generally sympathetic to immigrants...”
Why? How many immigrants have you housed and provided for yourself? Who will provide and pay for the medical costs of these millions? Or you just want the rest of the taxpayers to foot the bill to make you feel good. I am not referring to the millions Biden has let in, but the tens of millions the Republicans and democrats have allowed in, illegally and legal. Most people don’t know that before Biden, there were more legal immigrants coming in than illegal. Or in other words, legal immigration alone will destroy the country in about another twenty years.
Republicans need courage....
The Cowardly Lion :
[singing]
I’m afraid there’s no denyin’,
I’m just a dandy lion,
a fate I don’t deserve!
But I could show my prowess,
be a lion, not a mouse, if I only had the nerve!
SHIP THEM ALL BACK.
NO WELFARE.
IMPRISONMENT AND HARD LABOR FOR THOSE CONVICTED OF CRIMES.
If all criminal, illegal aliens were wearing the same uniform, we’d look like a country under occupation.
Make the destination of EVERY illegal alien the National Mall, Washington, DC. Let the Congress, White House, and USSC feel the joy of housing, feeding, medicating, educating ungrateful hordes of their policies. When the Mall fills up, bus them to nearby towns where the families of the Deep State live, so they can share the joy as well!
Democrats underestimated the cost of their parasites typical democrat planning it’s why their always looking for unicorn horns to prove their utopia theory.
congress literally has no ability to stop the executive branch from doing anything
oh sure, they could try impeaching someone... but the dems in congress would stymie any such attempt
Lol.. he wouldn’t have endorsed McCarthy instead of other fiscally conservative nominees if he didn’t endorse McCarthys record of funding the Marxists agenda for as long as he remains.
They control the money they just refuse to do so.
the executive branch has been spending money they didn't have to the tune of $32 trillion... so far
