It’s difficult to understand how or why anyone takes Democrats seriously anymore. Why does Fox invite Democrats on to share their “opinion” on any issue? They don’t have one.
What they have is a narrative—already planned out, and dictated to them by the powers that be—to parrot over and over again, some perhaps more cleverly than others, but with little variation. Today, the prevailing narrative is “there is no crisis at the border.”
Over the years, tens of thousands have been killed by illegals. More have been raped. Drug overdoses have claimed more lives in a year than died in the Vietnam War—almost all from drugs trafficked across the southern border. And the effect of this violence isn’t limited to Americans.
People who live and work near the border must contend with criminal illegals, coyotes, and other dangerous traffickers every day. The illegal immigrants themselves suffer horribly at the hands of human traffickers, and sometimes die in the wilderness, but are incentivized to seek the border because Congress refuses to do its job and close the border. But who are you going to believe: Democrats or your own lying eyes?
We have to be honest. Democrats couldn’t care less about Americans dying as a result of illegal immigration, never mind all the other problems that illegal immigrants create. Democrats have shown this over and over. They supported wall funding at an earlier time, but only because they were confident a wall wouldn’t actually be built.
And they were right. They claim to want “border security,” in the form of “technology,” but we already have drones, surveillance cameras, and all the other equipment they claim works. It doesn’t, because it doesn’t prevent people from crossing the border. That’s the key.
This was bad enough when they were just liberal. Today, the vast majority are socialists and communists. Their permanent majority will spell the end for our great nation, and we will have to contend with Antifa types on a daily basis, as the street enforcers for a despotic kleptocracy. You will no longer have rights. Free speech will be gone. And kiss the Second Amendment goodbye, as the rule of the fist will take over.
The Wall
The president has the authority to declare a national emergency and build the wall with the military, which already has funding. That authority is beyond dispute, under law and Supreme Court decisions, although there will be legal “experts” who disagree.Now, despite that authority, we can be confident that extremist judges appointed by former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, who have already demonstrated their contempt for settled law and Supreme Court rulings in multiple unconstitutional, nationwide injunctions against Trump policies, will intervene if Trump declares a national emergency and starts to build the wall.
If, in declaring an emergency, the president simultaneously reopens the government, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) or some other player will go to the Ninth District Court, which would immediately impose an injunction stopping construction. The Democrats would get their win and the president would be prevented from initiating construction until the case reached the Supreme Court.
But there’s a way to get around this. If Trump maintains the government shutdown, and judges still issue an injunction, then the pressure would fall on them and the Democrats. It’s doubtful they would take that risk. The president, knowing that to open the government would instigate an immediate effort by the legal left to obtain an injunction, could announce he was continuing the shutdown until Congress agreed to authorize wall funding. Congress would do it sooner or later, because bureaucrats, now realizing Trump wouldn’t budge, would begin pressuring Democrats, and they would start to look like the bad guys.
The only thing the president needs to do is not blink. When things get really painful, everyone will eventually turn to the real source of the problem: congressional Democrats. And when they see that obstruction is no longer a winning political strategy, they’ll fold like a leaf.
One last thing. Even if congressional Democrats were to capitulate and approve wall funding, there would still be the possibility that a court would issue an injunction. If this is a risk, the president should just keep the government shut, and not agree to sign any upcoming appropriations bills until the wall is finished.
