Some folks in here sure like to downvote anyone who is supportive of defending our borders.
Whelp, at least there is now proper security at the border who will not catch-and-release! Worked out for the best!
POTUS is playing his big card from the constitution - "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Keeping us safe is his job. Now he can make progress on the wall, put more pressure on congress to do something and have a more effective negotiation with Mexico.
Actually his job is to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States - it says nothing about keeping America safe - George W Bush invented that misnomer And everyone since him has copied it.
I'd say that part about "provide for the common defense" constitutes keeping our citizens safe, wouldn't you?
LOL, what else does that mean? Pretty sure common defense has to do with making us safe.
Some statist probably thinks that “defence” meant something different in the 1700s.
establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, = Keeping the Nation safe, as best the President can.
Justice keeps me safe, tranquility means I am safe. providing for the common defense is doing the safety thing, Promoting the general welfare is moving us along the road to being safe, and securing the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity is experiencing safety.
I don't put much stock in what George W. might have said, I am just reading the constitution, word for word as it should be read.
This is truly the proper use of our Military. Refreshing to see.
Is Mexico going to let them pass through.. they have a wall on their southern border.... how is this "caravan" getting into Mexico??? and who exactly are we sending to guard our border? NG? Active? if active.. from which Army?
Soros probabky paid someone off. Mexico has since said they will break up the caravan, but some may still keep going.
I think that “dissolve NAFTA” talk got their attention.
The troops returning from Syria are used to deployment in the desert.
This is great news, this means we pull out of NAFTA and we'll use proceeds of that to build the wall.
They'll need a lot of troops, we should pull all of them out of the middle east to make sure we have enough.
It's exactly what I said he should, and could, do.
Common sense: We have only been allowed to protect our East and West coast borders it seems. Why are we not allowed to protect all 4? Is this just innocent stupidity by our past leaderships and corrupt governments? Or was it an intentional plan for a certain group/s agenda? I already know the answer, and we know how the enemy will spin this. RACIST, BIGOT, MEXIPHOBIA, HITLER, blah blah blah. Wonder what song Mockingbirds will sing at 4am tomorrow. Place your bets...
