Stick to your guns- Build That Wall - Pacific South Morning Journal ®



Submitted by G. Jones


     If Trump has a mandate from voters for anything, it is building this wall to help secure our borders. Fulfilling this mandate is all the more vital given the madness of the immigration position of Democrats: sanctuary cities; catch and release; no voter IDs; abolishing ICE (i.e., having no border security at all.)

These policies are -- to say the least -- far away from where most American voters are on immigration. Conservative and centrist voters are much more in line with Trump's position: that a nation without borders is no nation at all.

This is a political fight that Republicans should be relishing on the eve of the election. Border security vs. no borders at all. Democrats are so in bed with a radical fringe that they are handing Republicans the issue of the decade on a silver platter.

Yet Republicans are huddled in the fetal position on immigration. The Washington Post headline from last week said it all: Congress "Tries to Delay Border-Wall Fight to After Midterms."

Huh? No this is a fight for the week before the midterms, not after. The issue paints with very broad colours the difference between the two parties on a seminal issue.

An in-depth autopsy on why Hillary Clinton lost the election to Trump showed  one of the most salient issues for Trump, they tell me, was immigration. Trump was tough; Clinton was weak and for the status quo.

Incidentally, Republicans should be for legal immigration. The "big beautiful wall" Trump wants to erect will also have big beautiful gates for immigrants to enter orderly and lawfully.

The last thing Democrats want on the eve of the midterm elections is to have to go on TV and explain why they won't vote for funding the government because they don't want Donald Trump to secure America's borders. And if House and Senate Republicans don't want to go to the mat on this issue, then Trump voters are probably right in asking: What's the point of having a Republican Congress?
