  1. Unfortunately, the illegals are helping their own economy.

    The largest source of foreign revenue for Mexico is remittances from mexicans in the U.S.

    Need to tax that to build the wall.

    Ann Coulter: Donald Trump Should Order U.S. Military To Invade Mexico
    "We didn't ask for Iraq's approval to go in," the controversial conservative pundit told Fox News host Laura Ingraham.

    Controversial conservative pundit Ann Coulter has suggested that President Donald Trump should give the order for U.S. troops to invade Mexico.

    On Friday’s broadcast of Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” Coulter claimed to host Laura Ingraham that it was an option available to Trump to halt undocumented migrants attempting to enter the U.S. — who she disparagingly dubbed “invaders.”

    “The military can’t really do anything standing on our side of the border. What are they going to do, shoot the invaders?” Coulter asked.

    But they could invade, they could go in ten yards into Mexico. We didn’t ask for Iraq’s approval to go in; we didn’t ask for Afghanistan’s approval to go in,” she added, in the clip posted online by Media Matters:

    Nation’s Pilots Warn Donald Trump That Shutdown Threatens Air Safety

    Fewer TSA agents and FAA safety inspectors may put “passengers and airline crews at risk,” a pilots union says.




    By Mary Papenfuss

    A letter from the national union representing 61,000 pilots has sent a letter directly to President Donald Trump warning him that the government shutdown is threatening the “safety and security of airspace.”

    “The nation’s airspace system is a complex transportation network that involves government and industry partnerships to function properly, and the disruptions being caused by the shutdown are threatening the safe operations of this network,” stated the letter sent last Wednesday by Joe DePete, president of the Air Line Pilots Association, on behalf of union members.

    The letter has surfaced just as passengers are reporting growing lines at airports and as Transportation Security Administration officers are reportedly calling in sick to work at paying jobs. Forbes reported Monday that some checkpoint waits at New York’s La Guardia Airport and Sea-Tac Airport in Washington state were as long as 90 minutes. The shutdown is also affecting staffing levels in air traffic control towers, according to Forbes.

    DePete urged Trump in his letter to “take the necessary steps to immediately end the shutdown of government agencies that is adversely affecting the safety, security and efficiency of our national airspace system.”

    The union president noted the importance of the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Department in safe flying.

    “When any of their responsibilities are placed on pause due to a shutdown there are safety, security and efficiency gaps that immediately emerge,” DePete wrote.

    The partial shutdown affects some 800,000 federal workers, but about half of those are considered essential workers — including agents of TSA, which is part of DHS. They are expected to perform their jobs without pay during the shutdown. That has driven some TSA workers to use sick time to work elsewhere to pay the bills, according to the union.

    TSA officials have conceded that the number of TSA workers on the job was down, but said Friday that the reduction hadn’t yet affected passenger checkpoint wait times. That appears to be changing as air travel begins to pick up again after the traditional slow time after the winter holidays.

  7. Difficult to say.

    Odumbo "raised the bar" in the use/abuse of Executive Orders.... basically saying, "If Congress won't do what I want, I'll just do it myself. I've got a phone and a pen". (Didn't the SCOTUS rule against Odumbo many times.. even 9-0 on some, and he went and did what he wanted anyway? Sort of neuters the Supreme Court when their decisions are not backed up. Or, am I recalling this wrong?)

    Personally, I think the notion of border security is existential*. We need it AT ALL COSTS!! If it takes Trump's EO or other "unprecedented" action, so be it.

    *There are 2 groups of people in the US who oppose border security. #1, Globalist Elites who intend to destroy America by any means necessary for their own power-lust/greed... lead by Schumer, Pelosi, Obama, and others..., and #2, the sheeple who are brainwashed and stupid as a box of rocks who support the #1s. (When the oponent is big and strong... as in 50% of the voting electorate... that fact that he's stupid doesn't make him any less formidable.)

    I don't think the "wall" is good idea. Imagine in a few years it's built and Lester Holt is showing video of people climbing over it.
    What I would like to see is changing the law, or is it more of a policy, to stop birth right immigration.
    I'd like to see us put pressure on Mexico and other countries to stop it before it gets to our border.
    It's really sad we can't fix this as a country. There really aren't any winners, whether a wall is built or not. It's not a physical problem, it's a policy problem.
