Trump Can Win Again on Building the Wall
American Thinker ^ | March 25, 2024 | Brian C. Joondeph

Donald Trump rode the escalator at Trump Tower (soon to be called Letitia’s Crib or Engoron Tower) in June 2015, promised to build a wall, and make Mexico pay for it. It was the foundation of his successful presidential campaign.

In 2015, there were just under 600,000 “Illegal aliens apprehended in the United States” according to Statista. Many of those apprehended were sent back home.

Today there are over 300,000 known migrants entering (and almost all staying in) the U.S. each month. Migrants are arriving from all over the world, including from geopolitical adversaries like China.

Then there are those not caught. CBP reports over 1000 “known “gotaways” a day. In total, this is more than the 3.9 million population of Los Angeles added to America’s welfare rolls each year. How many are “unknown gotaways”? You don’t know what you don’t know.

American cities are choking under this invasion. As one example in my home city, “Denver cuts services in response to the migrant crisis that’s costing the city $180 million.” It’s worse in New York City and Chicago.

Trump tried to build a wall but ran into stiff resistance from both Democrats and donor-class beholden Republicans. Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell stymied a few billion dollars in wall funding while their successors now happily throw hundreds of billions at Ukraine and Israel to secure their borders, as they add a trillion dollars to our national debt every 100 days.

Just as during Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, when his advisor James Carville proclaimed, “It’s the economy, stupid.” Today “It’s the border, stupid.” This should be the new GOP mantra, shouted from the rooftops by any Republican seeking election, and even those not currently running.

Back during the great depression, Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.

Harry Truman deported over two million illegal aliens after WWII to create jobs for Returning veterans.

In 1954 Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexicans. The program was called Operation Wetback. It was done so WWII and Korean War veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took two years, but they deported them!

Now, if they could deport the illegal aliens back then, they could surely do it today. If you have doubts about the veracity of this information, enter Operation Wetback into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself.

Why, you might ask, can’t they do this today? Actually, the answer is quite simple. Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower were men of honor, not untrustworthy politicians looking for votes!

Democrats need vote and muscle...Republicans need cheap yard workers.

The problem is the courts also protect the illegals. Economic migrants are getting protections intended for political refugees. The simplest way to solve the problem is for Trump to declare an invasion, suspend habeas corpus to get around the courts to deport them, BUT he shouldn't campaign on that detail because it could scare people. He just needs to say he has a plan, kind of like Nixon did with Vietnam.

Until some affirmative action single digit IQ O’Dummy appointed federal judge in Hooterville USA says he can’t built a wall. As long as we’re allowing the country to be led by whores, pimps and fools, we’re never going to correct our course.

Build the wall? Over the past year he has repeated said only 200 more miles now needed. That is way short.

"Trump Can Win Again on Building the Wall"

Can he? Yah, shure.

Will he? No, not so long as Boss Tweed gets to count the votes.

AND cutting off ALL welfare and sending every single last one of them back AND DEFINING ANCHOR BABIES AND THEIR ELIGIBILITY TO BE US CITIZENS.

Any country who won’t take their savages back gets NOTHING from us except drop packages of their people.

That didn’t go over well with me at the time.

It was a Trick from Dick.

It got Nixon elected in '68. The point is that people don't want to know all of the details if they have confidence a guy can do the job. It's bad politics to say "I will suspend habeas corpus because it allows the opposition to say he will lock all of his enemies up, and it could be you." That stated, does habeas corpus apply to the J6 group? How long will they rot in jail without a trial?
