On May 30, 2019, President. Trump announced he
was considering imposing tariffs against Mexican imports to the U.S. to force Mexico to assist in securing the
U.S./Mexico border.
Why? To gain control over the porous southern
border where
drugs, contraband, gangs, and thousands of illegal people are pouring across the border. Recently, illegal people
from Africa were caught.
Trump’s actions were carried out because
Congress failed to give him the tools to
end the border crisis.
For decades politicians have promised to
enforce immigration laws and stop illegal
aliens. Over 10 years ago, Congress voted to fund a border fence. It was never built. And other measures were
never implemented. Sadly, Congress has impeded and obstructed any efforts at border security.
Today the Democrat Party claims there is no
emergency or crisis. Some want open
borders, some castigate ICE, and most are in favor of sanctuary cities / states. Are they fools or
insane? Or do they have ulterior
motives? Why do they care so little about national security, public safety, public health, and
the well-being of American
citizens?
As the 9/11 Commission said, Border Security
is National Security.
