Democrats think they’ve come up with the perfect strategy to defeat President Trump and the GOP. Stonewall every one of his legislative initiatives while promoting a sham “Russia-Gate” investigation so that his administration is plagued with perpetual scandal.
But, on one issue at least the Democrats’ strategy is in total shambles. Trump, relying heavily on his executive authority as president, has been moving full steam ahead to regain control over America’s borders. And to the chagrin of Democrats, his immigration policies are working.
In just four months Trump has put forward a comprehensive package of enforcement measures that has already sent a clear signal to would-be illegal border crossers: Without a legal visa, you are no longer welcome here.
And many illegals, it seems, have gotten the message. Unauthorized entries are down a whopping 76% compared to the same period last year, according to Department of Homeland security statistics.
...
Democrats insist that they will block a House bill that would authorize major funding for a US Mexico border wall that Trump promised to build during the campaign. And Trump, in a tactical concession, has agreed to postpone consideration of the issue until 2018. But wall construction is already well underway, in fact. Bulldozers — ironically, many of them owned by Hispanic contractors — are adding to sections of the border fence left uncompleted under the so-called “Secure Fence Act” of 2006.
Trump has used his executive authority to restore to funding for the 2006 act and is setting the stage for expanded border barrier construction once Congress finally decides to consider the matter.

Ssh! Don’t let this get around. Let them keep going with “White House chaos!” and RussiaRussiaRussia!
3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . Cue the Veruca Salts!
Wonderful!!!!!!
As they build the wall let’s make sure those “Hispanic” contractors stay on the Mexican side and free up the American side for American contractors.
I am still bothered that President Trump is still issuing amnesty to illegal aliens through Obama’s executive orders and actions. He failed to honor his much repeated day one promise to rescind these orders and actions. By his own actions or inactions, he now is in the business of continuing Obama’s amnesty, now Trump’s amnesty.
The untold story: self deportation.
Canadians? We’ve got a good 25 million Latin American illegals who need to be sent home.
Not so many Canadians in that situation.
Agreed, Reno.
The glass is what? 50% no 40% no 35% empty... We have to be nimble if we want to be good nevertrump pessimists because our complaint list keeps shrinking. What’s a glowering discontent to do?
I heard that it took Trump 3 tries to tie his left shoe this morning.
Why, oh, why did supposed conservatives vote for him?! We’re doooomed!!

Word is BP might ticket a speeding vehicle but they’re still not arresting the passengers for being illegal.
We need to never give up, to keep reminding anyone that listens that there are important, simple promises being unkept. President Trump cannot say he is trying to reign in illegal aliens while still issuing amnesty to them. These executive orders and actions are easily stopped without fanfare. Bottom line is that Trump made this repeated promise and has not kept it. I’m not giving him a pass.
Still better than Hillary!.
Since I was expecting a New York Democrat (which Trump was...) masquerading as a ‘Pubbie, I have had nothing but pleasant surprises from Trump.
