I am adding that to the comments I am preparing for when I call my Representative today.

**************

Just a suggestion for you to think about when you call.

Ask him what if anything is being done about the visa overstays which represent
about 40% of the total illegal population in the USA. They come in legally but fail
to leave which is a different twist but illegal in the end.

So says the newbie, here to demoralize.

So says the Gopee cheerleader! We don't need noobs to demoralize any of US. You Pom Pom wavers who claim to be supporting my President when in fact all you are doing is supporting RyanO and the rest of that filth in DC are demoralizing enough. BTW, where did you come down when we were fighting this same fight during W Bush's reign of terror? Hmmm? VETO this Gopee/UniParty trash Mr. President. Life is too short to continue with this crap! Strike NOW, or sheath your sword.

Re-settle all refugees in Puerto Rico and then sell the island to China for one dollar U.S. with China to assume liabilities for all the PR debt.

I think now should have been the time for Trump to make his stand. The people have spoken, elections have consequences and they voted for a wall, not funding planned parenthood and no refuggies. We are going to shut the fed down now and start with those 3 things in the beginning.

Here is basically what I said when I called my Representative. Anyone is welcome to use my talking points if you wish, but I suggest you change them around, so it doesn’t sound like we are in some sort of organized calling initiative.

***

I am calling regarding House Joint Resolution 99.

This is an abomination for 3 major reasons that I can see:

1. There is funding for Planned Parenthood.
2. There is no funding for the wall.
3. There is continuing funding of the so-called
migration and refugee assistance.

So, in essence, Congress is refusing to provide $1 billion to build the wall that would prevent terrorists sneaking in the back door to kill us and, instead, is happy to provide $3 billion to bring those terrorists through the front door and to feed and house them. I wouldn’t be surprised to see someone add on a clause that provides for arming these invaders and giving them shooting and stabbing lessons.

***
I meant to include this part, too, but I got so flustered that I left it off:

And what is being done about the visa overstays, which represent about 40% of the total illegal population in the USA? They come in legally but fail to leave. Is anyone going to start following up on these people?

Special thanks to FReeper GOPe Means Bend Over Spell Run for the inspiration for the first paragraph below the numbered points. And thank you, FReeper deport, for the point in the second paragraph, although I messed up and didn’t use it.

THIS JUST IN--- James and Lachlan Murdoch—---Fox CEO and chairman, respectively--- came out against Pres Trump's E/O: <><> halting citizens of seven predominately Muslim nations from coming to the US for 90 days, and, <><> halting Syrian refugee programs for 120 days.

REALITY CHECK---Pres Trump responded to ex-Pres Obamba’s infamous surveillance uncovering foreign plots to get on the gravy train, then infiltrate and overthrow the US govt, to cause havoc, and kill Christians.

<><>Pres Trump responded to Obamba's launching a major “refugee project” to foist foreign rabid Christian-hating terrorists, criminals, torturers, beheaders on unsuspecting US citizens.

<><> Pres Trump responded to the dangers of a steady stream of Somali, Syrian, Afghan, Iraqi and Burmese Muslims, refugees who committed crimes in their homelands: Afghanistan, Algeria, Burundi, Cape Verde, China, Cuba, Eritrea, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, India, Iran, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, and Zimbabwe.

==================================================

More startling, Obama resettled refugees in the US from Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sudan......these are listed among the ‘Top 10 Countries of Origin’ where female genital mutilation is practiced....usually on little girls.

Verified by US based pediatrician and fellow at the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Hatem Al Haj Elhagaly, listed as a member of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America (AMJA). This ‘Islamic scholar’ issued a 2006 ‘fatwa’ (an authoritative Islamic law ruling), saying that Islam sanctioned genital mutilation b/c sexual enjoyment is ‘better for the husband' when performed on a mutilated female.

Dr Elgahaly acknowledged that the majority of the scholars regard it allowable and some consider it wajib (obligatory).

FGM was being conducted at Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit for 12 years. Horrendous accounts surfaced of little girls genital body parts being savagely sliced off leaving only a small passage for urination.

================================================

Then again, maybe the Murdoch boys are in favor of Female genital mutilation?

Real News: ALIPAC Revokes Trump Endorsement Due To Betrayal on Immigration Promises

For National Release

May 2, 2017

Contact: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) | WilliamG@alipac.us | (919) 787-6009

After months of activism efforts to encourage President Trump to honor his campaign promises, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is regretfully announcing the revocation of the organization’s endorsement of Donald Trump originally issued February 29, 2016.

ALIPAC’s supporters have endorsed, contributed to, volunteered for, and attended events and rallies to help Trump in response to his promises to enforce all existing immigration and border laws while ending Obama’s DACA Amnesty and building a wall on our southern border.

While Trump promised these things, he quickly caved and retreated on budget negotiations with Congress on funding for the wall this week, while continuing Obama’s overtly unconstitutional DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) Amnesty for illegal immigrants! Trump is sending a message that most illegal aliens have nothing to fear from federal law enforcement and that implementation of US law will be based on his personal feelings instead of the Rule of Law. Trump has also issued an executive order setting dangerous refugee resettlement programs he promised to end at 62,000 imported per year, which is the same average Obama brought in during his terms. ALIPAC has also recently discovered Trump administration spokeswoman and Bush family ally Helen Aguirre Ferre promising future amnesty to illegal aliens on KJZZ radio! (Listen)

“We were so hopeful that Donald Trump would be a man of his word because the campaign promises he made to Americans were the things America needs to do to survive and thrive, but unfortunately, Trump has made it clear he cannot be trusted on his most powerful campaign issue of stopping illegal immigration and amnesty,” declared William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. “Our organization’s supporters have been fighting against illegal immigration and Amnesty for many years, and they say it is time for us to end our endorsement of Trump because close inspection of his actual immigration policies show he is similar to Bush and Obama on Amnesty for illegal immigrants.”

ALIPAC is America’s only Political Action Committee focused on stopping and reversing illegal immigration and amnesty through the adequate enforcement of the nation’s existing immigration laws which are the product of our elections and Congressional votes on legislation.

Anticipating a great deal of consternation, disappointment, and confusion within the ranks of Trump’s base supporters in reaction to ALIPAC’s dropped endorsement, William Gheen is also releasing an open letter further explaining the PAC’s decision. (VIEW LETTER)

“Our organization ALIPAC will not support any elected official who violates the Constitution, their campaign promises, and their oath of office as Trump is doing by his continuation of DACA Amnesty, which Obama created out of thin air with memos,” said Gheen. “Trump promised to end DACA on his first day with a simple memo canceling Obama’s illegal directives. This was the most important thing Trump could have done to restore Constitutional governance in America, but instead he is choosing the path of dictatorship Obama did.”

ALIPAC is also dropping the endorsement for Trump because Trump has placed numerous illegal alien amnesty backers into his cabinet and staff such as Reince Priebus, Alexander Acosta, Kellyanne Conway, John Kelly, Rick Perry, Rex Tillerson, Elaine Chao, Kevin Hassett, and Helen Aguirre Ferre, while anti-Amnesty figures such as Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, and author Ann Coulter have all been left in the cold.

Trump endorsed pro-Amnesty lawmakers Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), and Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) during the GOP primaries of 2016 while each was being challenged by candidates endorsed by ALIPAC due to their promise to oppose amnesty for illegals.

ALIPAC recently discovered that Bush administration transplant and amnesty backer Helen Aguirre Ferre, who has been hired as Trump’s White House Director of Media Affairs, has been telling audiences that the White House is looking forward with Congress to pushing bipartisan immigration reform amnesty for illegals, but right now, the federal government will focus on the first step of enforcement. In an interview on Phoenix Arizona’s KJZZ radio, Trump spokeswoman Helen Aguirre Ferre said “We do look forward to working with Congress, in a bipartisan faction, to enact meaningful immigration reform, but we begin by securing our border. That’s step one...” (LISTEN TO INTERVIEW AT 10:55 mark)

Donald Trump never campaigned on passing any new immigration legislation or “immigration reform.” This “Secure the borders first” language is the same Americans have heard from those in Congress pushing Amnesty for the last 4 years.

This revocation of ALIPAC’s Endorsement of Donald Trump is being added to the Endorsements Page (View) at ALIPAC.us

Have any of you entertained the possibility that the two Murdoch sons are the ones behind the entire, ongoing coup at Fox?

1) Well known that the 2 spoiled brats hated Ailes, and disliked O’Reilly.
Comes now Hannity, who helped Trump win to a small degree. He can’t be bought either, with a 9 figure savings account.

Now the conservative co-President is pushed out. Looks to me like a purge of all people conservative.

Just tossing it out there, because quite frankly, it SMELLS.

I think that's their long term goal too... but if they do it too quickly they'll lose too many viewers.

I'm amazed some Conservative billionaire doesn't start a competing network that's conservative in nature. Most of us are ready to leave FOX... if we had somewhere else to go...

I hear MSNBC is trying to lure conservative Hugh Hewitt into its TV lineup.

I wasn't impressed with Hugh's anti-Trump phase, but he's a sharp-witted man. I listen to him when I catch him on something... he's often insightful.

MSNBC would be making a strong move for themselves giving Hewitt his own show... they could play him against 'The Five'... They've got a win there...

Good thing for FOX that MSNBC isn't smart enough to go outside their little liberal elite ivy box.
