I campaigned on Border Security, which you cannot have without a strong and powerful Wall. Our Southern Border has long been an �Open Wound,� where drugs, criminals (including human traffickers) and illegals would pour into our Country.

Donald J. Trump

President of the United States

CRISIS AT THE BORDER: President Trump continues to stress the need to pass legislation that will address the security and humanitarian crises on our Southern Border.

The United States Southern Border is overwhelmed with illegal immigration, gang violence, crime, drugs, and human trafficking.

President Trump has requested a modest amount of funding to address these issues while Democrats continue to resist in the name of politics.

We cannot keep our country safe without adequate funding for Border security, including a physical barrier and increased funding for law enforcement.

BORDER SECURITY AND HUMANITARIAN PRIORITIES: Any government funding bill must address the security and humanitarian crises on our Southern Border. The Administration has requested additional funds�relative to the FY2019 Homeland Security funding bill that passed the Senate Appropriations Committee (Committee)�to address these priorities.

$5.7 billion for construction of a steel barrier on the Southern Border to fund 234 miles of new physical barrier�an increase of $4.1 billion over the Committee bill.

$675 million to deter and detect narcotics, weapons, and other materials that pose a threat to the United States�an increase of $631 million over the Committee bill.

Will provide Non-Intrusive Inspection technology for all incoming vehicle lanes of traffic at U.S. Southwest Border Land Ports of Entry, as well as necessary canine and other support.

$211 million to hire 750 additional Border Patrol agents in order to keep our borders safe and secure�an increase of $100 million over the Committee bill.

$800 million to fund enhanced medical support, transportation, consumable supplies, and additional temporary facilities necessary to ensure the well-being of those taken into custody.

IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT: Congress must fund additional immigration detention beds and law enforcement personnel.

$571 million for 2,000 additional Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel to enforce immigration laws, combat gang violence, catch drug smugglers and stop human traffickers.
[li] $4.2 billion to support 52,000 detention beds, personnel, alternatives to detention, and transportation to address the recent surge in illegal immigration across the Southern Border�an increase of $798 million over the Committee bill.

At least $563 million for 75 additional Immigration judges and support staff to reduce the backlog of pending immigration cases.

President Trump will work with Congress to facilitate expanded in-country processing of refugee claims.

What I noticed tonight, beyond the fact Chuckie and Nancy looked stupid together, was that the President dealt with facts, while the Katzenjammer Kids said little about the wall, or border security in general; but instead appealed to bathos by stressing the employment impact from the shut down. No matter how the TV appearances are spun, President Trump won the confrontation hands down.

At 9:00 p.m. Tuesday, the president delivered his much anticipated speech from the Oval Office about the illegal immigration crisis at the southern border of the United States.

A few minutes later, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, both of whom favor open borders to keep future Democrat voters flowing into the country, answered him.

Trump discussed facts and data about illegal aliens and the drugs and crime they cause.

Pelosi and Schumer blamed Trump for the government shutdown that began after they refused to fund a wall for border security.

Trump won. They lost.

I wonder if Mr Kirkwood is one of those silent observers here on punditry who reads the posts but refuses to comment.

How can the Democrats say they support border security when they also advocate for sanctuary cities?
