BUILD THAT WALL!  BUILD THAT WALL!  BUILD THAT WALL!

With all due respect Mr. President, and I am saying “with all due respect,” it is time to draw a line in the sand and make your stand.

President Trump met Democrat leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi in the Oval office yesterday, December 11, 2018, to discuss border security, the wall, and continuing to fund the government.

The President allowed the press to attend the beginning of the meeting, and the cameras were on, as The President said, “If we don’t have border security, we’ll shut down the government.”

President Trump repeatedly told Mrs. Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, that what she’s proposing would not pass the Senate.

“If it’s not good [on] border security, I won’t take it,” President Trump quickly replied.

Mrs. Pelosi and Mr. Schumer repeatedly urged The President to take the meeting private, (all the more reason not to) but not before he declared he’s “proud to shut down the government for border security” and will “take the mantle.”

Prior to the meeting, and earlier in the morning, President Trump threatened to have the military “build the remaining sections” of the wall if Congress doesn’t deliver the funding.

As President Trump began discussing the details of the negotiations, with Vice President Mike Pence also in attendance, Mrs. Pelosi complained, “I don’t think you should have a debate in front of the press.” And at another point, Mr. Schumer added, “Let’s debate in private.”

I’m sure there was a reason President Trump wanted at least a portion of the discussion out in the open for all to see.  I’m guessing The President wanted the two Democrat leaders, and democrats in general, to have to own their positions in a way that could not be confused or re-translated later.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, they say.

“Elections have consequences, Mr. President,” Schumer interjected, undoubtedly hoping to bolster his position.

“And that’s why the country is doing so well,” The President responded.

Mr. Schumer then challenged President Trump over his boasting that Republicans kept control of the Senate.  “When a president brags that he’s won Indiana and North Dakota, he’s in real trouble,” Schumer offered.

Apparently Mr. Schumer has a lack of respect for the states and the people from the states of Indiana and North Dakota, as he seems to denigrate the value of these states.

Congress last week temporarily averted a partial shutdown amid the funeral services for the late President George H.W. Bush, pushing the new deadline to Dec. 21.

President Trump wants $5 billion for the wall project, while Democrats are offering $1.3 billion for border security, which doesn’t include an actual wall.

Mrs. Pelosi said she and many other Democrats consider the wall “immoral, ineffective and expensive.”

Speaking for conservatives, I think we have seen with the recent caravan and those people waiting in Tijuana, Mexico, how effective an actual wall is and how necessary it is given our current immigration laws.

Mr. Schumer said Democrats want to work with President Trump to avert a shutdown, but said, “Money for border security should not include the concrete wall President Trump has envisioned.  Instead, the money should be used for fencing and technology that experts say is appropriate.”

Yes, Mr. Schumer, we are all aware that you can always find “experts” to support any position you may take or any belief you may have.

President Trump has said that Congress should provide all the money he wants for the wall and called illegal immigration a “threat to the well-being of every American community.”

Even though the Republicans will pick-up a couple of seats in the Senate next year, they currently have 51 votes.  Sixty votes are required in the Senate to overcome a filibuster, thus effectively blocking a proposal.

Let’s remember that during President Trump’s campaign for president, at every jam packed rally, in the dozens of states he visited, he promoted building a wall and the people in attendance chanted, “BUILD THAT WALL!  BUILD THAT WALL!  BUILD THAT WALL!”

If ever a president had a mandate, based on an election, to do anything, it is President Trump’s mandate to “build the wall.”

“We the People” have waited long enough.

We want our wall!

And yes, Mr. Schumer, elections do have consequences, and don’t you dare try and throw your weak midterms in our faces.  Especially you, as your party lost even more seats in the Senate!

You want The President and us to “own” shutting the government down in order to get our wall?  Fine!  We will proudly own the shutdown, and we don’t care if it’s shut down until the 2020 election!

“We the People” wanted a wall on our southern border and we elected Donald Trump to build that wall.

I would further respectfully suggest that President Trump address the nation, similar to the way President Reagan did on several occasions, bypassing the “biased, liberal, fake news media” “filter,” and make your case for the wall directly to the American people, putting some pressure on their representatives.

“Maybe Poker’s just not your game, Chuckie.  I know, let’s have a spelling contest!” – adapted quote from the movie “Tombstone.”

Here are two of the “caravan” migrants who are suing President Trump and the US Government over their “rights!”

A dozen migrants traveling by foot from Honduras to the United States to illegally enter our country, and seek phony “asylum,” filed a class-action lawsuit Thursday against President Trump, the Department of Homeland Security and others, claiming a violation of their due process and Constitutional rights under the Fifth Amendment.

We can say “phony asylum” because they have already turned “political asylum” down from the Mexican government, hence they can’t claim political asylum again from a neighboring country of Mexico’s, in this case, The United States.

We have now been able to identify Speedy Gonzalez and his cousin, Slowpoke Rodriguez, as two of the main instigators of the migrant “invasion” as it passes through Mexico.

These migrants, of course, always travel with other migrants who are U.S Constitutional scholars, and others who are adept at filing class-action lawsuits in U.S. courts!  They also travel with their own laptops, printers and satellite dishes, in order to be able to download the required forms, etc.

Dang! These migrants are good!

I know!  Maybe Speedy Gonzalez took the lawsuit, ran across the border so fast that no one even saw him, filed the lawsuit, then ran back across the US border and back to the caravan before anyone even missed him!

The Fifth Amendment states that, “No person… shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

Well, the migrants are p-r-e-t-t-y good.  The problem is, muchachos, that you all are not citizens of The United States, so The Constitution of The United States does not apply to you.  There’s the end of your lawsuit.  Not to mention that your claims of asylum have now been invalidated.

In all actuality, these migrants and their liberal democrat partners in crime are so confused on so many levels.

What exactly is “due process” here, and when and where the proceedings might take place is also up for interpretation.

Two people can play that “playing around with the law” game.

Twelve Honduran nationals, including six children, are listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The suit, which was filed Thursday (11/1/18) in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., said it is widely known (Widely known by whom?  I’m not aware of it.) that Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador are “undergoing a well-documented human rights crisis.”

That’s funny, because it’s also widely known that the United States is experiencing a well-documented illegal immigration crisis.

All of the Hollywood liberals who are threatening to leave our country because it is soooo terrible, should be making the case to these “caravaners” to save themselves the trouble and just stay where they are!

The Central American migrant caravan now numbers between 4,000 and 7,000 people.

The lawsuit points to President Trump’s claim that he will prevent the caravan from entering the U.S.  It claims that the president cannot stop asylum-seekers by employing the military, when they have a fair claim.

And we have already established that their claim is not fair or valid at this point.

The suit criticized the president’s alleged attempt at stoking “fear and hysteria” by claiming that criminals and gang members have joined the caravan.

So these claimants are saying there are no “criminals or gang members” in and amongst the caravan?

I feel it would be fairly easy to argue that President Trump is not trying stoke the “fear and hysteria” among the American people.  He is simply stating the truth and stating his concerns about this “invasion” headed towards our southern border.

President Trump announced in a lengthy speech at the White House this last Thursday afternoon that in response to what he called the “crisis at our southern border” and a surge of fraudulent asylum claims in recent years, his administration will soon require asylum-seekers to “lawfully present themselves” at a port of entry.  (Note: A port of entry is a pre-designated harbor, border town, or airport by which people and goods may lawfully enter a country.)

Asylum claims made by migrants caught crossing the border illegally would seemingly be summarily denied under Trump’s proposal.

The asylum clause of the Immigration and Nationality Act says that anyone who arrives to the U.S. may apply for asylum based on a well-founded fear of persecution.

The asylum clause does not say that any request must be approved.

President Trump’s decision was expected to, of course, prompt immediate federal court challenges.

When reached for a comment about the entire situation, Speedy Gonzalez replied, “¡Andale! ¡Andale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba! ¡Yii-hah!” before speeding off.

An unidentified mouse in the crowd stated, “My seester knows Speedy Gonzales,” to which Slowpoke Rodriguez responded, “Evvvveryyyyybooooody’ssssss seeeester knooooows Speeeeeedy Gonzaaaaaaalez!”

Tha-tha-tha’that’s all folks!

What should we do as the “Caravan” of illegal immigrants prepares to storm our southern border?

A horde of migrants, at any given time, estimated to be anywhere from 5,000 to over 10,000 in number, continues their journey north to the United States, through Mexico, from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

My first question is: How does something like this get organized in the first place?

CNN reporters indicated they have talked to the apparent organizer, a person named Dennis Omar Contreras.

The first thing Mexico should do is arrest this individual, or allow us to.

My next questions would be: Who is this individual, who is he tied to and how is he being funded?

I would not be surprised at all if the words “democrats” and/or “George Soros” popped up in that conversation.

CNN’s Maegan Vasquez (a proud member of the “biased fake news media,” obviously) claims that, “Trump’s making the migrant caravan a political issue.”

With all due respect Ms. Vasquez, and I am saying “with all due respect,” you really should pull your head out of your derriere.

President Trump isn’t “making the migrant caravan a political issue,” IT IS A POLITICAL ISSUE, THANKS TO THE IDIOTIC DEMOCRAT DRIVEN IMMIGRATION LAWS!

Let’s be clear about this:

We are in this sad situation thanks to the democrats currently in Congress and prior democrat administrations.  And now President Trump is forced to operate under these pathetic immigration laws that are literally a joke.

President Trump has mentioned that he may declare a “national emergency” over this issue.

A “state of emergency” is a situation in which the government is empowered to perform actions that it would normally not be permitted, such as during a disaster, civil unrest, or armed conflict.

I believe this would normally be the way to go here, except the democrats and the “biased fake news media” would lose their minds and claim that President Trump was overstepping his authority…, which he wouldn’t be, by the way.

Ms. Vasquez also claims that President Trump is, “… without evidence, accusing Democrats of pushing for overrun borders …”

Again, with all due respect Ms. Vasquez, and I am saying “with all due respect,” you should be ashamed to call yourself a “reporter” or a “journalist.”  You are clearly a liberal propagandist and a “tool” used by the democrats and “the swamp,” just like your network (CNN).

You say “without evidence.”  WE HAVE NOTHING BUT EVIDENCE THAT THIS CARAVAN SITUATION IS EXACTLY WHAT THE DEMOCRATS WANT!!!!!!!!!!!

As we approach the midterm elections, we see the democrats running their campaigns on the very concepts of open borders and abolishing the very people who enforce our immigration laws (ICE).

“No evidence!?”

President Trump has also tweeted that it appears “criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed” and embedded into the migrant caravan moving toward the United States.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said that the administration “absolutely” has evidence of Middle Easterners in the caravan, “and we know this is a continuing problem.”

President Trump has also threatened to cut or suspend foreign aid to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador for doing nothing to aid us in our efforts to avoid this border confrontation. “They’re paid a lot of money, every year we give them foreign aid and they did nothing for us, nothing,” President Trump tweeted.

In addition, I would add trade penalties to Mexico for even allowing these people to first, cross their southern border, and then make it all the way across their country to the U.S. border.  I would make it very painful for Mexico, economically, for allowing this.

Doris Meissner is a senior fellow at the “Migration Policy Institute.”  This is a liberal organization that never saw a migration it didn’t like.  She is also the former commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (under former democrat President “Slick Willy” Bill Clinton).  CNN dug her up for a comment regarding this situation, knowing she would be sympathetic to their illegal immigrant narrative.

She didn’t agree with the President’s use of the term “national emergency,” and said “his potential subsequent declaration, is a subjective judgment.”

No kidding, Doris.  You’re not married to Captain Obvious are you?

“It is certainly true that the numbers that have been reported in this group are larger than anything that we’ve seen before from these countries concentrated in one group,” she said.

However, she added that the reaction is “disproportionate to what’s happening.”

Oh really?  You obviously don’t have clear picture of exactly what is happening!

“I’m not saying it’s not a genuine problem, but it’s not like this is organized insurrection, in the way that it’s been characterized,” she added.

Ok, here we go again!  With all due respect Doris, and I am saying “with all due respect,” you are intentionally downplaying the entire situation because it does not help to promote your desire for open borders.  And yes, it is in fact an “organized insurrection.”

5,000 to over 10,000 people, organized by an individual, or a group of individuals, absolutely intending on illegally storming our border is by definition an “organized insurrection!”

Look, I get that a majority of these people are not bad people.  They want to come to the United States to make a better life for themselves and their families.  I feel for them.  I really do.  But the bottom line is you need to come to our country legally.  Not as a group of invaders.

Do you know how many people in this world could consider themselves some sort of refugee, with a desire to come to America and make their lives better?  That number would be 1,000,000,000 (a billion) or more.  Our current population is only 325,000,000 (325 million).

We just cannot allow people to come walking into our country whenever they feel like it.  No country can exist that way, and no other countries do.

So, what can we really do, given our current immigration laws?

This is my suggestion:

Here are 7 uninhabited U.S. territories (Puerto Rico is a US territory, for example) administered by the Interior Department.  They are Palmyra Atoll, Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, and Midway Islands.

I propose that our government establish colonies on one or more of these islands.

We should set-up tent towns, with water sources and food sources.

Any people who illegally cross our border should be processed and given the choice of either being shipped back to where they came from, or being bussed to the nearest port, loaded onto a boat, and sent to one of these islands.

In the immigration processing centers we could play President Trump’s rally closing song…

“You can’t always get what you want.”

“You can’t always get what you want.”

“You can’t always get what you want.”

“But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need.”
