"Will the President be alone on this? No - he will have 300 sheriffs watching his back. And the patriots (as usual), will be watching the sheriff's backs."
Put 300 sheriffs in a room together, and see if there is ANYTHING they can agree on. Seems there might be. 300 sheriffs from all over the country have gotten together and signed a letter to Congress. Did it ask our law makers to take it easy on illegals? You know, like they are doing in California? Nope. It said "BUILD THE DAMN WALL!
Why in the world should sheriffs give a rip about some dang 30 foot wall on our southern border? When many who signed this letter are not even from border states? Because they are the stable hands of those who have to clean up the manure from the politicians. They are the ones who have seen these criminal aliens come over the border over and over and over again. And with recrimination from local politicians, they are let go.
One sheriff was on the cable news today, asked about this letter. 'We have been waiting 20 years for Washington to do something, but it seems many are more concerned with illegals than legals". Bingo times 10 sheriff! Why should we put up with the steady stream of fence jumpers, gang members, drug runners, and sex traffickers? When they arrive illegally in this country, they are shuttled to one of our major cities, some to cause havoc. When the sheriff's apprehend them, often times they see they are frequent flyers. Sometimes as many as ten times over our porous border.
It is nice to know after eight years of "catch and release", we now have a President with some testicular fortitude. Want to come to our country? Show us what you have to offer. Show us you can contribute. Show us you can assimilate. Too harsh? Sorry. Then try going to Australia. I have been there on a visa. I had to open my financial kimono wide. Why? Just in case I overstayed my visa and wanted to stay there.
President Trump is in his first full year as our President. Much has happened, much has been accomplished. For what he is frustrated with (the rest of the Wall funding), he will continue to reach out to the American people. Will the President be alone on this? No - he will have 300 sheriffs watching his back. And the patriots (as usual), will be watching the sheriff's backs.
The current spending bill grants DHS $1.6 billion for Dic’s much-discussed border wall, an amount that will allow the administration to build just 33 miles of new wall, while reinforcing other areas. That’s far less than the original $25 billion sought by the White House.
ReplyDeleteThis could be the last time that the White House and the DHS will have a chance to influence a Congressional budget before the 2018 midterm elections. (The bill funds the US government through the end of September, and Congress is likely to adopt stop-gap funding until after the elections.) After November, Republicans, who have lost some high-profile special elections in recent weeks, might lose their majority, and their sway, in the House.
Dic will never see a wall completed, even if he were to gain a second term. And a liberal WH would probably put gates in it.
Unless the United States truly lowers its demand for drugs and cheap foreign labor, forget trying to seal off the border from human traffic. The smugglers will just enter by sea, blow up the wall with explosives, fly over it in light aircraft or pay-off the border guards at points of entry. There will always be some new hot spot to tame.
300 sheriffs or 3 million patriots will not change the baser needs of America's drug culture and the entrepreneurs need for cheap labor.
It's just the nature of things.
A DIC worshipper could perhaps make the case that DIC has a good-cop, bad-cop game he’s trying to play by appointing Bolton to his post.
ReplyDeleteBut the omnibus bill posed a much stronger test of faith.
Not only did it grant DIC barely any funds for border security—$1.6 billion—it also forbade immigration authorities from adding any more beds for detainees and forbade DIC from using any of that money toward constructing a wall from the prototypes he’d just inspected.
Jesus died for our sins. Let's take a moment to meditate on whether we are still sinning and what we can do about it.
