IMMIGRATIONTexas has raised over $55 million from private donations to secure border, build a wallSara Carter Staff – As of September 12, the state of Texas has raised a little over $55 million in private donations, to secure the southern border and build a wall. “While securing the border is the federal government’s responsibility, Texas will not sit idly by as this crisis grows. Texas is responding with the most robust and comprehensive border plan the nation has ever seen,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement.

“The State of Texas is working collaboratively with communities impacted by the border crisis to arrest and detain individuals coming into Texas illegally,” Abbott’s statement reads. “Our efforts will only be effective if we work together to secure the border, make criminal arrests, protect landowners, rid our communities of dangerous drugs, and provide Texans with the support they need and deserve.” Continue reading

Arizona Is Building Its Own Border Wall

Portions of Border Wall Removed to Make Trafficking Easier

border wallIf there was ever proof that Trump’s border wall worked, it was found near Tucson, Arizona. The Gateway Pundit reported on Sunday that large sections of the border wall have been removed, making drug trafficking and illegal immigration easier for those seeking to enter the nation.

If walls don’t work, why have large portions being removed? We all know why. Even though a wall is not perfect, it certainly makes travel more difficult. Remove the wall, remove the problem. With Biden’s new open border policies, might as well make it easier for people (and drugs and weapons and who knows what else) to travel as well. Continue reading

On the Shutdown, Trump Played the Odds

trumpGary Gindler – The U.S. federal government (more precisely, only one quarter of the government) was shut down for 36 days.  Opinions of this shutdown, as expected, vary.  In the left camp, a victory is celebrated, and in the right camp, the range of assessments extends from bitterness of defeat (the majority) to cautious optimism like “well, we will see who wins” (a minority).

However, an idea that does not occur to anyone to consider is one of Trump’s victory, no matter how unusual it sounds.

Why is this view not considered?  Probably because it is based on the emotional background of the conflict – that is, the personal confrontation between Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi, who is reveling in her newly acquired power.  However, let’s ask ourselves: would Trump’s position change if, instead of Pelosi, there was someone else?  Hardly anyone could argue that it was Pelosi who determined Trump’s political moves.

No deal from DEMs and Trump will issue “emergency declaration”

trumpJordan Fabian – President Trump on Wednesday said he may declare a national emergency to circumvent Congress and build a border wall if spending talks fail, raising the stakes for negotiations set to resume later in the day.

“I think we might work a deal, and if we don’t we might go that route,” Trump told reporters during a bill signing in the Oval Office.

The president said he has the “absolute right” to declare an emergency, even though some legal scholars and Democratic lawmakers say he does not.

Trump added that his “threshold” for declaring a national emergency is if he cannot reach a deal with congressional Democrats, who have rejected his demand for $5.7 billion for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Continue reading
