We all recall when the Democrats tried to drag former President Trump for suggesting a wall for the Southern border. He asked for $25 billion to build the wall and we are spending quadruple that amount on providing for migrants. The wall, the “Trump wall,” was considered “racist” and “Un-American” by VP Kamala Harris and a “medieval vanity project.” Now, Harris believes the time is right to fund the Trump wall. Over eight to ten million people entered the United States under Biden-Harris, with Harris appointed as the point person to solve the problem. They have done absolutely everything imaginable...

Pro-Palestinian protesters breached part of a security wall set up around the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, Illinois, on Monday. Video footage posted on X shows protesters chanting, “End the occupation now.” Several protesters can be seen standing on the other side of the breached security wall while one protester shakes the wall. Breitbart News’s Matthew Perdie also filmed a video in which protesters can be heard chanting, “Free, free Palestine,” “Victory to Palestine,” and “End the Occupation Now.”

A 6-year-old Michigan boy died after being stapled to a wall and shot with a BB gun — part of “horrific” abuse by his mother and her boyfriend often in front of their other kids, according to authorities. Mom Elaina Rose Jennings, 25, and her boyfriend Daniel John Giacchina, 32, were charged with murder after little Giovanny “Chulo” Jennings was found unconscious with injuries all over his body on July 30, WDIV reported. Investigators soon learned that Giovanny was confined to a pen and left to sleep on a wooden slat in his mom’s bedroom in their mobile home in...

As crews continue working on a new border wall segment near the coast, people are starting to notice that the top of the barrier has a new design... “It’s the first of its kind along the U.S.-Mexico border,” said Rios. “It’s an anti-climbing feature that’s meant to stop people from scaling the border wall.”... A source told Border Report the metal segments being added to the top of the barrier are a prototype, and if they keep migrants from climbing the wall, the feature will be added in other areas along the southern border.

Three years after Gov. Greg Abbott announced Texas would take the extraordinary step of building a state-funded wall along the Mexico border, he has 34 miles of steel bollards to show for it... (at) a price tag of some $25 million per mile (similar in cost and capability to Trump Wall)... Progress has been hampered by the state’s struggles to secure land access... Nonetheless, state contractors have already propped up more wall mileage than former President Donald Trump’s administration managed to build in Texas, and Abbott’s wall project is plowing ahead at a quickened pace. State officials hope to erect...

On this date in 1987, then President Reagan made his famous Tear Down This Wall Speech. “General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace–if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe–if you seek liberalization: come here, to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”

The Government and Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report on whether the Biden administration violated the Impoundment and Control Act of 1974 by blocking funds intended for construction of the southern border wall, because of a request by House Republicans. While the GAO ultimately cleared the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of violating the law, the report did confirm that DHS used congressionally-appropriated border wall funds for environmental planning and other non-barrier construction.

Biden, via proclamation, paused obligation of these funds the day he was inaugurated….” Court rules this was illegal, but I think Biden will find a way not to actually build the wall.. The timing of this is worth noting. Last night, in his vitriolic State of the Union address, Joe Biden blamed everyone but himself — but particularly Republicans — for his border crisis. But everyone knows, on day one of his presidency Biden by executive order removed numerous border protetions, including construction of a border wall. ... Sen. Marsha Blackburn... on his first day in office, Biden: — Paused...

President Joe Biden is absolutely right to try to make a case on behalf of arming Ukraine. But the way he chose to do it was as hypocritical as can be. Biden used as a model of behavior the late President Ronald Reagan’s famous speech wherein the Gipper, in Berlin, said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” One problem: Biden at the time hated that speech. He said it was dangerous rhetoric. In Reagan’s personal diaries, the Gipper rarely mentioned Biden. But after his Berlin Wall speech, Reagan was infuriated by Biden, who at the time was in a race...

the worsening border crisis, especially in the aftermath of the tragic death of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, at the hands of 26-year-old illegal immigrant Jose Antonio Ibarra. Riley's murder has sparked a national outcry and fresh debate over the Biden border crisis, with his critics pointing to her case as just one of all too many examples where illegal immigrants take advantage of Biden's lax policies as well as those in Democrat-run sanctuary cities, and end up victimizing people in the process. ... Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who posted a video on Twitter showing how the Biden...

Federal authorities constructed a wall surrounding the U.S. Capitol Building for President Joe Biden’s Thursday State of the Union speech, drawing the ire of Republicans who painted a contrast between Biden’s open border policies and the heavily guarded Capitol complex. The eight-foot black Capitol wall, approved by the Capitol Police Board, could be more heavily guarded on Thursday by law enforcement than the southern border where 1.7 million known “gotaways” escaped into the United States under Biden. The Capitol Police say Biden’s State of the Union address is a designated National Special Security Event, which requires a “robust” security plan...

Former President Donald Trump plans to meet with U.S. Border Patrol agents during his trip to the Southern Border on Thursday, while the National Border Patrol Union is telling President Joe Biden, who is also visiting the border Thursday to "keep our name out of your mouth." "Today, President Trump will visit the crime scene at Biden’s open border, where Joe Biden’s failure has resulted in more than 9 million illegal immigrants, 27 tons of deadly fentanyl, and dangerous criminals crossing the border since he took office," Trump Campaign National press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday. "President Trump will meet...

A new poll shows for the first time that a majority of Americans support building a wall along the US-Mexico border — while three-fifths of the country sees illegal immigration under President Biden as a “very serious” problem. The Monmouth University survey released Monday found 53% of respondents favor building a border barrier while 46% say they are opposed. By contrast, 60% of Americans told the same pollster in September 2017, months after former President Donald Trump took office, that they were opposed to a border wall and just 35% said they were in favor of construction. When the question...

New sections of a border wall being built in California have an anti-climbing feature, according to reports. The top of the barrier erected at Friendship Park between San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico, has a "metal wing or wedge, or a comma on its side with the pointy end hanging over the Mexican side of the border like an awning," according to Fox 5. Pedro Rios, of the American Friends Service Committee, called the additions "techitos," or little rooftops. "It's an anti-climbing feature that's meant to stop people from scaling the border wall," Rios told the station. "It's the first of...

The Texas Department of Public Safety has made over 39,000 criminal arrests, apprehended more than 480,000 migrants in the country illegally, deterred more than 95,000 illegal entries, engaged in more than 4,300 bailouts and filed more than 19,000 charges for smuggling, according to the governor. The Texas National Guard has also turned back more than 90,000 people who were trying to cross the border illegally, Abbott said. The combination of those measures has proven successful at trimming the number of people crossing into the US through the state. “The results are amazing,” Abbott told reporters.

Texas makes history as the first and ONLY state to build our own border wall. Construction is ongoing. We will not back down from our efforts to secure the border. -Gov Greg Abbott Feb 3, 2024

I wish this was a headline from the Babylon Bee but no, this is real life.. Remember when Democrats and RINOs in Congress told President Donald Trump that $15 billion was too much for a border wall? Then they said $6 billion was too much. Then they said $3.2 billion was too much. The border wall was never finished and the Biden-Harris regime has been practically begging illegal aliens to come across and to bring friends. Lots of friends. Lots of military-aged male friends. Good times.. As a result, the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which is supposed to be working...

During an interview with NewsNation aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Hill,” 2024 Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis argued that if his rival Republican candidate former President Donald Trump had followed his promise to build a wall on the border, “it would have been much more difficult for Biden to get away with” the damage he’s done on the border.DeSantis said, “I do think, when he’s saying things, like, in Iowa, the other day, that, well, he couldn’t follow his campaign promise to have Mexico build the border — pay for the border wall, because there was, no...

Criticizing a rival might not seem very notable in a presidential campaign. But Donald J. Trump is no ordinary rival, and Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida has been wary of alienating the former president’s base.---------------- Since the start of his presidential campaign, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida has pulled his punches during speeches to voters, choosing not to attack the man leading him by 40 points in many national Republican primary polls. But in recent stump speeches in California, South Carolina, Florida and Iowa, Mr. DeSantis has started attacking former President Donald J. Trump more directly, drawing laughter and applause...
