There are reports that President Trump is considering an emergency declaration to build the wall. The whole of the DC uni-party establishment is going to obstruct this action by any means possible. As it becomes more and more evident that the Democrats will not compromise with Trump, never mind yield, I think it’s rapidly becoming apparent that if there is to be a border barrier or wall of any sort, President Trump is going to need to declare an emergency, bring in the Army Corps of Engineers, and build the wall out of funds that already exist for emergency construction projects. There are tens of billions of dollars available. It may be time for the President to make war against illegal immigration. War. It’s what a plurality of the American people expect, and it is a plurality of Americans, via the electoral college that elects presidents. Even now, the media is scrambling to figure out a way to ask a poll question that won’t show this fact. President Trump is winning, and so long as he stands firm, he’ll win. In stark contrast, the longer Speaker Pelosi(D-CA) and Minority Leader Schumer(D-NY) hang onto this shutdown, stubbornly opposing the will of the people, the bigger their loss is going to be. The whole truth that the media, including FoxNews, is hiding from you is that Trump’s margin of support is increasing.
There’s an effort to stop any emergency declaration among some DC establishment Republicans. Your Senators and Representatives still need to hear from you. If you’re a Texan, you need to call Senator Cornyn(R-TX) and tell him to get off his duff and support the wall. Do you know why Ted Cruz(R-TX) wasn’t defeated by Robert Francis O’Rourke? The conservatives of Texas got out there and pushed him through. Does Cornyn think he’ll get that kind of support when BETO v2.0 come along when he comes up for re-election? Not a chance. Conservatives ought to know that this is a chance to really take the measure of their Congressmen and Senators. Any Republicans who don’t support this critical issue ought to be challenged in their next primary election.
I believe the President should declare an emergency. I believe he should use existing emergency statutes to take the least amount of property possible from Americans living along the border, and compensate them accordingly. I think he should use funding that already exists in emergency accounts, and he should bring in the Army Corps of Engineers to build it. He should bring in Army combat engineers and Navy Seabees to provide the labor. On the one hand, we’re not building improvised landing strips or beach-heads in any foreign S-holes at the moment, so they need the training. We can send the 1st Cavalry Division, including all air assets, from Fort Hood, Texas, to provide security and support.
I think President Trump is right about at least one more important factor: Our military has been shipped all over the globe for the interests of people all over the globe, except Americans, in most cases. For a change, the military can support the American republic. Even now, the Pentagon is drawing up contingencies for deploying forces to build the wall. Meanwhile, the left continues to push the “manufactured crisis” narrative, as CNN fake-Republican Ana Navarro demonstrated her contempt by filing her nails as murders by illegal aliens were being discussed.
I am happy to support President Trump’s efforts on our behalf. This situation has gone on without any sort of serious response for far too long. It’s time we put our politicians on notice, now that we have a president who, thus far, evinces the will to get this done. To get it done, he may need to effectively declare war on illegal immigration. If we’re to save this country, this is a war we must fight and win.
In an Oval Office address on Tuesday night, President Trump delivered a simple, straightforward address. In the address, he laid out the humanitarian, law enforcement, and national security case for building a serious border wall or barrier. He left no ambiguity about the effect our border has on our nation, now essentially in an open and undefended state. He refuted the notion put forward by incoming Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi(D-CA) last week that the wall is “immoral.” The President made it clear that what is immoral is the collection of DC politicians who refuse to help fund our nation’s security, leaving Americans wide open to being victimized by illegal aliens. What was shocking about last night’s events was the response by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer(D-NY) and Speaker Pelosi. The pair looked wooden, and scripted, almost Howdy-Doody-like. Memes popped up on Twitter and elsewhere, and a lot of sport was had at the pair’s expense. They accused the President of lying and “creating a crisis.” After a few minutes, it was clear that they were making a political argument, but they were not addressing the crisis at the border. First, here’s the President’s statement:
President Trump isn’t merely trying to uphold a campaign pledge, although that’s surely part of it too. He isn’t simply pandering to his base, although the media would like to defame him with that smear, since it’s what passes for normal in Washington, DC. President Trump is fighting like Hell for us! It’s our nation. It’s our children who are maimed and murdered in endless mayhem by the illegal immigrants who stream across our Southern border every day. You can see the diminution of our nation daily. Socialist welfare-state programs are breaking us. Police officers slaughtered by illegal thugs! This is out of control, and it must finally end. It’s our country! Many readers of this blog were Tea-Party folk, or patriots generally, and it was you who helped fuel this. It was you who made the current surge possible. It’s time to stand with our President. I don’t agree with everything President Trump does, but on this issue, on the matters of the border and the security of our nation, he needs us to do verbal combat with the media that seeks to destroy his agenda which is our agenda in this issue. Enforce the law! Secure the border! Line-jumpers to the end of the line! It’s time to build that wall!
