In the urban bastions of liberal America, it’s not an issue. They don’t care about the border. They don’t want border security. All they see when they look at these migrants are votes. They want amnesty. And when people talk about enforcing federal immigration laws or erecting a barrier to secure the border, it must be part of some white nationalist agenda. Protecting one’s border is a national security priority. President Trump promised a border wall and an immigration agenda that actually enforced the laws on the books. The government is shut down over some of the border wall funding. The Trump White House asked for $5 billion for some of the wall. Democrats aren’t willing to give him one-cent; they just retook the House in the 2018 midterms. They were elected to fight Trump.
It explains why Democrats rejected outright Trump’s reported proposal to re-open the government in exchange for some of the border wall funding. They’re more concerned about scoring points with Trump than having a rational counteroffer. The Democratic Party is urban and coastal. They don’t know the situation on the ground. The Border States do, and for Sheriff Mark Napier of Pima County, Arizona, he’s known we’ve had a border crisis for nearly three decades. Napier was on a New York Times podcast where he was quite clear that he’s been dealing with this crisis for the 31 years he’s been enforcing the law. With the bodies that are found, the drugs pouring across the border and the scores of human trafficking victims, Sheriff Napier was noted that out here—it’s not really a legitimate political debate about whether they’re facing a crisis or not. He also said that our current immigration system incentivizes families to trek hundreds of miles with their children on a perilous journey that often times ends tragically. That had to end (via Tuscon.com):
AZ Sheriff: Border Situation “Has Been A Crisis The Entire 31 Years I’ve Been In This Valley”
During the podcast interview, which was released Friday morning, Napier told host Michael Barbaro the main crisis on the border is the number of migrants who die every year while trying to cross the desert into Arizona. In 2017, 128 sets of remains were recovered in Pima, Santa Cruz and Cochise counties, according to the Pima County medical examiner.Napier said the current system incentivizes migrants to take their children and “walk hundreds of miles through environmental conditions that are harsh, through areas of criminality in the hope of getting to America and being able to simply walk across.”
“That’s a human rights issue that we should not incentivize,” he said.
Napier said physical barriers are part of the solution and praised President Donald Trump for leading Tuesday night’s address to the nation by mentioning the humanitarian crisis.
So, it’s a crisis, Democrats. And while you may hate Trump, he’s the only one with sensible policy solutions aimed at tackling the problem. They’re also solutions that are favored by those who, you know, are tasked with keeping our borders safe.
They do care about the border. They want it wide open to create the cultural chaos in which Democrats in power thrive upon.
Reagan should have know to never trust the DNC after all that seriousness of the charges guff. If not before that.
[ All they see when they look at these migrants are votes. ]
That’s for sure. Power for Democrats and Democrats for Power.
BOTH parties have REFUSED to secure the border.
They promised in 1986 that we would have enforcement and border security in exchange for amnesty for 3 million.
By 2006 we had an additional 20 million illegals and they passed the Secure Fence Act in an effort to get another amnesty and never built the Fence.
Now we have another 10 million and we still don’t have border security or enforcement.
[With the bodies that are found, the drugs pouring across the border and the scores of human trafficking victims]
This cannot be true. The NPC’s, oops I mean “Democrats” at Yahoo have declared there is no crisis. Repeatedly. Well, unless they or their family become victims, that is.
Then they will scream “Why didn’t somebody DO something!!!???”
WUT!!!! I thought it was all PDJT’s doing. /s
Sara Carter has been reporting from the border and described current conditions very well today. She was interviewed on the Wilkow Majority radio program and gave details of how big this crisis really is.
It’s a real shame the entire country does not hear her reporting...they only hear the fake main stream media networks.
Even in a desert there is a swamp and it needs to be forcibly drained. MAGA! God save DJT!
When we first moved to Sierra Vista twelve years ago, the BP would catch illegals several times a week. Then they built the wall across the San Pedro valley and we rarely see any. Walls work.
I think it’s time to create some “chaos” with the Democrat Party ... That kind of “chaos” where such animals are made to “assume room temperature.”
True - look at Mollie Tibbett’s family...I guess she was a self-hating liberal, too, no?
