Trump’s Signature Issue

Securing our borders and getting immigration under control is going to be an ongoing battle.

President Trump has taken more steps to secure the border. Ten million illegal aliens entered our country through Joe Biden’s open borders. Biden is gone, but the disaster he caused remains.
 
Our communities are flooded with deadly drugs. Violent migrant gangs have taken over our streets. Local hospitals and schools are overwhelmed. American citizens are still in danger.
 
For far too many years, there was a bipartisan consensus among Washington’s elites to ignore the issue because both sides benefitted in their own way. Then, along came Donald Trump. He boldly made immigration his signature issue and completely transformed the debate.
 
Referring to Biden’s open borders policies, Trump said Wednesday that he tried to understand them. But he eventually came to the conclusion that, “You’re either stupid or you hate the country.” But it is national suicide to allow millions and millions of people to keep walking into your country. That’s called an “invasion.”
 
Here are some of the additional border security measures President Trump has taken: 

  • Trump ordered construction on the border wall to begin again.
  • He ordered 1,500 troops to be deployed to reinforce the Border Patrol.
  • He designated the drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
  • He reinstated the “Remain in Mexico” policy so claims of refugee status can be adjudicated before a migrant enters the country.
  • He ordered federal immigration agents to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens. Hundreds have already been taken into custody.
  • He put sanctuary cities on notice.
  • While Biden flew illegal aliens into the country, Trump is flying them out.
  • And he took action to end the abuse of birthright citizenship.

Securing our borders and getting immigration under control is going to be an ongoing battle. Leftists are filing lawsuits to block Trump’s policies. But they are already working. Some illegal aliens are self-deporting now that they know our laws will be enforced.
 
 
 
Left-wing Lunacy
 
The Laken Riley Act passed Congress Wednesday and will be the first bill President Trump signs into law. The act was named after the Georgia nursing student who was brutally raped and murdered by an illegal alien with a long criminal record. This legislation requires criminal illegal aliens to be held for deportation.
 
This is not a controversial idea. In fact, a recent New York Times poll found solid majorities in favor of “mass deportations.” There was overwhelming support (87%) for deporting criminal illegal aliens.
 
Kicking out criminals is just common sense. But 73% of House Democrats and 74% of Senate Democrats voted against the Laken Riley Act. The rot in the Democrat Party is deep.
 
The left will fight commonsense measures like this with everything they’ve got because they are trying to make you a minority in your own country. And by “you,” I mean American citizens of all races.
 
They want to “fundamentally transform” the country by changing it demographically. That’s what this is all about.
 
 
 
The Real Extremists
 
The fake news media won’t tell you this, but the Democrats’ pro-abortion extremism is on full display right now.
 
The Senate just voted on legislation that would require appropriate medical attention for any baby who survives an abortion. Just to be clear, this is a live baby outside the womb, no longer part of the woman’s body. So, killing the baby at this point or allowing the child to die through negligence is infanticide.
 
Every Senate Democrat voted against this bill. By doing so they are supporting infanticide.
 
Democrats deny it when we say they support abortion all nine months, up to birth. But they are lying. They even favor abortion after birth! If the baby comes out alive, they still favor aborting it.
 
Unless your mother crosses the border illegally, you have no right to life. (See next item.)
 
Senate Republicans must find a way to include this bill in “must pass” legislation. That’s what Democrats do to us all the time.
 
 
 
Now It’s A Baby
 
President Trump would like to get rid of so-called “birthright citizenship.” Under the law now, an illegal alien can walk into America, give birth, and the baby is automatically a U.S. citizen. This is a tremendous “magnet” that causes more illegal migration.
 
Of course, the media is filled with articles taking the side of “poor women” who simply want their “children” to be born here. In many of these articles, they are referring to poor women who want a better life and how we have always allowed them to come here so their babies can be born in America.
 
None of the articles say these women have a right to come here so their “fetus” can be American or the “product of conception” can be American. All of a sudden, an illegal alien has “a baby” or a “child” that has a right to be born in America. But when the issue is abortion, the same media never refer to a “preborn baby” or a “child.” Then, it is only a “fetus” with no rights at all.
 
 
 
DEI Is DEAD
 
The Trump/Vance administration acted very quickly to shut down DEI offices and programs in every federal department and agency. They are right to rip this radical Marxist ideology out of our government root and branch.
 
But the bureaucrats can be sneaky. They can transfer to other offices and rename their programs. The administration will have to keep a very close eye on so-called “Employee Resource Groups” (ERGs). The name sounds innocent enough. But ERGs are just DEI by another name.
 
Well, I’m pleased to report that the Trump/Vance team is ready for this. A memo went out Wednesday to all federal employees, warning:
 
“We are aware of efforts by some in government to disguise [DEI] programs by using coded or imprecise language… failure to report this information within 10 days may result in adverse consequences.”
 
 
 
Putting America First
 
Right now, the globalist elite are meeting at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This crowd sees themselves as “citizens of the world,” and they are not Trump fans. Nevertheless, President Donald Trump addressed the forum yesterday, but he didn’t go to Davos.
 
Why not? Because he is president of the United States, and his responsibility isn’t to the globe. It’s to the people of the United States and the people of North Carolina and Los Angeles. That’s his priority, and that’s where he is going. Not Davos.
 
What a great contrast between the America First president and the globalists.
 
 
 
Smearing Musk
 
The effort to turn Elon Musk into Adolf Hitler is gaining traction. The Washington Post ran a big article about Musk’s arm movements at Monday’s rally. They even found an “expert” — a history professor who studies fascism — to say, “That was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.”
 
Of course, it’s totally absurd. Many conservatives reacted to this, just as Elon Musk did, by dismissing it. “The left isn’t learning anything,” they say. “They tried this against Trump, and it didn’t work.”
 
Here’s what I think our conservative friends are missing. They’re looking at the wrong thing to judge whether it “works” or not. Unhinged individuals tried to kill Donald Trump twice. One sick leftist tried to kill Justice Kavanaugh.
 
This rhetoric feeds into the deranged minds of people who are already indoctrinated into neo-Marxism. When the left says, “Trump is a Nazi” or “Musk is a Nazi,” they are creating a mood for more domestic terrorism, more political violence, and more assassination attempts.
 
But just in case you or any of your friends have any doubts about Musk, let me put your mind at ease.
 
The Anti-Defamation League said that Musk “made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute.”
 
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also came to Musk’s defense. In a social media post, Netanyahu wrote:
 
“Elon Musk is being falsely smeared. Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre in which Hamas terrorists committed the worst atrocity against the Jewish people since the Holocaust. He has since repeatedly and forcefully supported Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists and regimes… I thank him for this.”
 
I think we can trust the prime minister of the Jewish state to know what Nazism looks like.
