2/13/19, “GUEST COLUMNIST: WHY WE MUST HAVE A BORDER WALL,“ AnnCoulter.com
“On account of the president’s cowardly retreat from the wall, Ann Coulter is too angry to type. In her place, we present a guest columnist [Trump] outraged at the president’s capitulation.” By Donald J. Trump
“This election...is our last chance to secure the border, stop illegal immigration and reform our laws to make your life better. — Donald Trump, Phoenix, Aug. 31, 2016
It’s coming from all over South and Latin America, and it’s coming probably — probably — from the Middle East. But we don’t know. Because we have no protection and we have no competence. … And it’s got to stop, and it’s got to stop fast. — Donald Trump, New York City, June 16, 2015
We take anybody. Come on in, anybody. Just come on in. Not anymore. … We need a system that serves our needs, not the needs of others. — Donald Trump, Phoenix, Aug. 31, 2016
The costs for the United States have been extraordinary: U.S. taxpayers have been asked to pick up hundreds of billions in health care costs, housing costs, education costs, welfare costs, etc. — Donald Trump, Immigration Policy Paper, Aug. 16, 2015
Whether it’s dangerous materials being smuggled across the border, terrorists entering on visas or Americans losing their jobs to foreign workers, these are the problems we must now focus on fixing. — Donald Trump, Phoenix, Aug. 31, 2016
The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems. –– Donald Trump, New York City, June 16, 2015
Thousands of Americans have been brutally killed by those who illegally entered our country, and thousands more lives will be lost if we don’t act right now. — Donald Trump, Washington, D.C., Jan. 8, 2019
These are matters of life and death for our country and its people. –– Donald Trump, Phoenix, Aug. 31, 2016
The Wall is a very important tool in stopping drugs from pouring into our country and poisoning our youth (and many others)! — Donald Trump, Twitter, April 24, 2017
(W)e will reform legal immigration to serve the best interests of America and its workers, the forgotten people. Workers. We’re going to take care of our workers. — Donald Trump, Phoenix, Aug. 31, 2016
(P)eople are saying, “What’s going on? I just want a job. Just get me a job. I don’t need the rhetoric. I want a job.” — Donald Trump, New York City, June 16, 2015
The truth is our immigration system is worse than anybody ever realized. But the facts aren’t known because the media won’t report on them. The politicians won’t talk about them, and the special interests spend a lot of money trying to cover them up because they are making an absolute fortune. — Donald Trump,Phoenix, Aug. 31, 2016
This barrier is absolutely critical to border security. It’s also what our professionals at the border want and need. This is just common sense. — Donald Trump, Washington, D.C., Jan. 8, 2019
Just ask Israel about walls. Do walls work? Just ask Israel. They work. — Donald Trump, Major Cities Chiefs Association Winter Conference, Washington, D.C., Feb. 8, 2017
The cost of building a permanent border wall pales mightily in comparison to what American taxpayers spend every single year on dealing with the fallout of illegal immigration on their communities, schools and unemployment offices. — Donald Trump, Immigration Policy Paper, Aug. 16, 2015
The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that 62 percent of households headed by illegal immigrants use some form of cash or non-cash welfare programs like food stamps or housing assistance. — Donald Trump, Phoenix, Aug. 31, 2016
The border wall would very quickly pay for itself. The cost of illegal drugs exceeds $500 billion a year. Vastly more than the $5.7 billion we have requested from Congress. — Donald Trump, Washington, D.C., Jan. 8, 2019
Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages. … We will not be taken advantage of anymore. — Donald Trump, Immigration Policy Paper, Aug. 16, 2015
I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words. — Donald Trump, every speech, every day, everywhere, June 16, 2015 – Nov. 8, 2016
A lot of people say, “Oh, oh, Trump was only kidding with the wall.” I wasn’t kidding. I don’t kid. I don’t kid. — Donald Trump, Major Cities Chiefs Association Winter Conference, Washington, D.C., Feb. 8, 2017
Remember, under a Trump administration it’s called America first. Remember that. — Donald Trump, Phoenix, Aug. 31, 2016″

Added: The Forgotten Man gets a slap down from Trump only months after his Jan. 2017 inauguration:
9/14/17, “Trump on DACA recipients: Does anyone really want to ‘throw out’ good, educated young people?” The Hill ^ | Rebecca Savransky
“"Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military?” Trump asked on Twitter.
“Really!…They have been in our country for many years through no fault of their own – brought in by parents at young age.””

3 among comments at Free Republic to Trump’s April 2017 pathetic pitch for illegal aliens and no wall in sight:
“Ridiculous strawman argument. We have laws, we have rules, we have a process in place.
Children of illegals do not get automatic U.S. citizenship. The 14th Amendment does not cover the children of illegals. My compromise – and ONLY compromise (and this is after the border is shut-down, anchor babies are abolished, the wall is built, no freebies or benefits for illegals, the existing illegals are deported, etc.) is that children
of illegals should return to their parent’s country of origin, have a
3-year waiting period, and then re-apply for citizenship, which would be merit-based (English and strong work skills, no criminal record) and on a case-by-case basis. And NO chain migration.

Added: 30% increase in crime by so-called Dreamers:
8/29/17, “Feds: 30% surge in illegals losing DACA freedom for crimes, gang violence,” Washington Examiner, Paul Bedard
“Federal immigration authorities are revealing a surge in those losing their freedom “due to criminality or gang affiliation concerns.” Officials told Secrets that the number has surged 30 percent this year.”
…………………………..
Added: Only a few months after blatantly lying in his inauguration speech he was lecturing, shaming, and betraying us about “Dreamers:”
Trump at his inauguration: “This American carnage stops right here and stops right now…..From this moment on, it’s going to be America First.”…"Trump promised his supporters he would not betray them. The implication is obvious: previous Presidents have all betrayed them. And they have. Four of them were standing behind him when he said it-” Gary North
“The Forgotten Man,” Jon McNaughton painting
Jon McNaughton on Feb. 3, 2012 about this painting:
“Against the background of a darkening sky, all of the past Presidents of the United States gather before the White House, as if to commemorate some great event. In the left hand corner of the painting sits a man. That man, with his head bowed appears distraught and hopeless as he contemplates his future. Some of the past Presidents try to console him while looking in the direction of the modern Presidents as if to say, “What have you done?”
Many of these modern Presidents, seemingly oblivious to anything other than themselves, appear to be congratulating each other on their great accomplishments. In front of the man, paper trash is blowing in the wind. Crumpled dollar bills, legislative documents, and, like a whisper—the U.S. Constitution beneath the foot of Barack Obama. The Forgotten Man.” Go to www.jonmcnaughton.com

Trump’s Inaugural Address gave us hope that this time we might not be betrayed:
1/20/17, “Trump’s Inaugural Address Was Like No Other in History,“ Gary North.com
“He is not the polished speaker that John Kennedy was. He does not have the hearts of the people in the way that Franklin Roosevelt did in the midst of the Great Depression. He is not the rhetorical master that Abraham Lincoln was. But more than any President I have ever heard or read at an inaugural, he laid out his agenda, showed how that agenda is a fundamental break from the political past, and promised his supporters that he would not betray them. The implication is obvious: previous Presidents have all betrayed them. And they have. Four of them were standing behind him when he said it. This was a breach of etiquette. I loved it.
No matter what happens in terms of the details of his administration, and no matter what happens to the economy as a result of central bank profligacy, Donald Trump delivered an inaugural address that is going to go down in history. His enemies will try to bury him in his own words. But that plays into his hands. They will have to use his own words to bury him.”…

Added: From Ann Coulter: If he fails on immigration, “Donald Trump will go down in history as the man who killed America.”
9/13/17, “NO AMNESTY IS A GOOD AMNESTY,” Ann Coulter
——————
My comment: He promised The Wall without conditions, never said congress would have to approve it. There should be no discussion or bargaining whatsoever about it. If he’s not prepared to deliver on his promise, fine, he should resign.

Added: Why doesn’t George Soros have open borders around his house?
August 17, 2016, “George Soros’s Open Border Foundations,” Joseph Klein, FrontpageMag
“An inside look at the machinations of the multibillionaire and his mission to destroy national sovereignty.”
“Thanks to the hacking of George Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF) by DCLeaks, we are getting an inside look at the machinations
of the multibillionaire and his organizations. Soros is exploiting the
refugee crisis to advance his radical left agenda. Indeed, his Open
Society Foundations should be re-named the Open Border Foundations.
One leaked memo stands out for its brazen presumption that the refugee crisis should be accepted as “the new normal.” It is entitled “Migration Governance and Enforcement Portfolio Review.” The memo was written by Anna Crowley, the Program Officer of OSF’s International Migration Initiative, and Kate Rosin, a Program Specialist for the same initiative….
The memo’s authors wrote how the refugee crisis “is opening new opportunities” with respect to donors. They also praised efforts to “take advantage of momentum created by the current crisis to shape conversations about rethinking migration governance.”
They had in mind “institutional reforms to global migration governance.” To that end, their International Migration Initiative helped fund the work of the Columbia Global Policy Initiative, which hosts the secretariat for Peter Sutherland [now deceased], the UN Secretary General’s Special Representative on International Migration. They praised the “elite-level behind the scenes advocacy through Peter Sutherland,” which they believe will influence the outcome of this September’s summits on migrants and refugees at the United Nations, one of which is to be led by President Obama….
In an interview last October with UN News Centre, Sutherland derided the very notion of national sovereignty. He said governments must “recognise that sovereignty is an illusion – that sovereignty is an absolute illusion that has to be put behind us.
The days of hiding behind borders and fences are long gone.”
[Ed. note: Wall around George Soros’ mansion in Southampton, NY, as of Jan. 2019, Daily Caller report:]
(continuing): “As for George Soros himself, he is willing to turn Europe inside out to achieve his open border objectives. He wants the European Union to commit to admit at least 300,000 refugees annually from troubled [ie, violent] regions and to allot 30 billion euros (approximately $33 billion tax dollars) a year to implement a comprehensive asylum plan. And he favors far more openness to admitting economic migrants as well.
Soros has criticized the government of Hungary, his birthplace, for placing protection of national borders above what he calls “European values.” Soros sees national borders as “an obstacle” to protecting “refugees,” no matter whom such self-declared “refugees” might actually be.
The document leak also puts a lie to the title “Open Society.” Soros and his minions loved operating in the shadows. One leaked memo, for example, admits that Soros’s group was considering using journalists to push out the narrative on Ukraine that Soros wanted in support of the Kiev regime. It discussed the pros and cons of offering selected journalists “long stay reporting trips in Ukraine” while retaining “a veto on stories we think are counterproductive.” Behind the scenes, other leaked documents reveal, Soros was simultaneously pushing for the U.S. to provide more lethal weapons to the Kiev government [which his friend Trump has agreed to do–so heinous even Soros guy Obama wouldn’t do it] while offering to use his influence to help prop up the country’s finances.
In one draft memo, which Soros signed “George Soros–A self-appointed advocate of the new Ukraine, March 12, 2015,” Soros advocated that “Ukraine’s allies should treat Ukraine as a defense priority.” He also pushed for a “radical reform program,” offering very specific political and economic prescriptions, backed by “the Ukrainian branch of the Soros Foundations.” This Ukrainian branch, known as the Renaissance Foundation [funded by US taxpayers: “the Renaissance Foundation, part of a network of charities funded by billionaire George Soros that gets money from the State Department,” AP, 12/10/2004] was reportedly paying headhunters to find suitable individuals to work in the Ukrainian government, even if they come from Ukrainian communities as far away as the U.S. and Canada. Soros’s foundation may also have been helping to pay the salaries of some Ukrainian ministers.
Soros was also looking for the U.S. [meaning US taxpayers] and the European Union to help bail out Ukraine’s financial system. In a letter dated December 23, 2014 to Ukraine’s president and prime minister, Soros discussed the need to pull together a multibillion dollar commitment from the European Council, which could then be used to persuade the Federal Reserve to extend a three months swap arrangement with the National Bank of Ukraine. “I am ready to call Jack Lew of the [Obama admin.] US Treasury to sound him out about the swap agreement,” Soros wrote.
In the meantime, Soros is making sure that he will be in a position to profit from a more stabilized Ukraine. Last November it was announced that Soros’s Ukrainian Redevelopment Fund would be investing in a fund sponsored by Dragon Capital to invest in Ukraine. Through that vehicle, Soros’s Ukrainian Redevelopment Fund invested in Ukrainian software developer Ciklum Holding Ltd. It acquired the stake from Horizon Capital, an investment firm founded by Natalie Jaresko, whom was serving at the time as Ukraine’s finance minister. Ms. Jaresko, it turns out, is a U.S. citizen of Ukrainian descent whom had once worked in the U.S. State Department. She became a Ukrainian citizen in December 2014, the same time she became finance minister.
Finally, to bring things around full circle, Soros sees an opportunity for Ukraine to help the EU alleviate its refugee crisis by taking in some of the refugees in return for financial aid.
How the Ukrainian people may feel about that suggestion does not appear to be of any concern to the meddler-in-chief. Soros believes his agenda of open borders, and the bottom line on his own investments, take precedence over the opinions of the people most affected by his interference into their internal affairs.”
