The wall is good, but legislative restrictions on immigration can’t be torn down.

Legislative restrictions? Would those be laws? You know, like the immigration laws we don't adhere to now?

The wall will stand if it ever gets built. The laws mean little without it.

If there’s a shutdown this will hurt Republicans in blue states...
Oh yeah...

Fire away, Mr President.

Dems like to pretend that shutting all non-essential federal functions will bring the end of the world. Conservatives ask why we need all those non-essential federal functions in the first place.

He also said Mexico would pay for it. It’s not going to happen! He won’t shut jack down. Empty threat.

Indirectly, mexico will pay for it as we no longer absorb all their poverty.

He should tax the remittances to Mexico, that would be totally justified.

I think that he will get the $5 Billion (which is way short of the $25 Billion actually needed.)

including the farm bill, the Violence Against Women Act

Oh my.....need to pay the subsides and welfare recipients. Much more important than protecting our nation.

AND tell me how many illegal invaders have either raped, beaten or murdered women in America.

Read my tag, says it all. We have a bunch of dumb shits trying to fix what they broke

/////////////////////////////////////

Ann correctly perceives, as we all do. that mass migration into the U.S. is destroying the fabric of our Republic and is now at levels that will destroy or economic prosperity as well. She is merely using her little platform and prominence to goad Trump into making sure we get the wall. We all have to continue to speak up about how untenable the present situation has become. Ann is a “smart ass” and doesn’t care who she upsets. She’s not a gloom and doomer she’s a fighter and though I don’t always agree with her, I’m glad she’s been on our side for the past 20 years or so.

Remember. Ann Coulter has been attacking leftists and defending conservatives since late 90’s. She took the blows both literally and figuratively. Many of her books are excellent resources also.

Anecdotally, when my daughter was a frosh at U of Connecticut in 2001 her and I attended a Coulter speech on campus. The 2000 seat venue was full of leftists revolutionaries intent on disruption and demonstration. Many shouted her down, but were removed by security. The atmosphere was ugly but Ann remained cool, calm. and confident. She gave her talk and then opened it to questions. there were 50 students in line, most of them leftists intent on destroying her arguments. Ann obliterated them all and gave one of the most lucid portraits of conservatism I have ever heard. She did so under perilous circumstances and patiently answered every question and remained to sign books and meet people. I was a fan before I went but left with an even greater appreciation for her, and my daughter was thrilled to hear someone on campus stand up to the mob she had to put up with every day.

Teachers are currently not getting paid in Tijuana because $ and resources have exceeded the budget there.

Also, I follow this woman on FB. But, she has a YT channel now. Some protests are supposed to take place in TJ today

He must withstand the usual MSM parade, comparisons to Scrooge, the Grinch, widuw Tiny Tim needs his SSI money to afford anti-psychotic medicine, or there's no telling what he might do, etc.

This is a good move.

He should order the Army Engineers Corps to begin construction as a matter of national security.

Trump is simply a mind-blowing, brilliant negotiator and political tactician that I have ever seen in my political lifetime.

Partner, I could not have said that any better than you did.

Thanks God that our President has the guts to do what is right since we have so many Illegal Aliens right now.

We need to fight the DemonRat party all the time from now on since the Rinos gave the People's House to the DemonRat party.

It wasn’t the RINOs, it was the brainwashed electorate.

Exclusive: Trump threatens government shutdown over border wall funding

Partner, we have been waiting since 1986 to build this wall since money was appropriated by Congress to start building the "The Southern Border Wall."

We were going to start building the "Southern Border Wall" in 1996, but Kay Baily Hutchison who was a Senator from our great state of Texas took out the money for the Southern Border Wall. We still do not know why she took out the money.

You are so correct in saying we have a brainwashed electorate.

Right now, we need a "A 30' High Southern Border Wall" so bad right now.

Shut it down. Way past time to build a wall. Way past.

We didn't need a wall for over 200 years because illegal used to be against the law. We wouldn't need one now if we actually enforced immigration laws. Operation Wetback, look it up.
