Trump at Orlando rally: >“We are building the wall. We’re going to have over 400 miles of wall built by the end of next year.”
Reality: >Mr. Trump is once again mixing projects to replace existing barriers with construction of entirely new sectors of a wall along the southwestern border — and inflating the mileage. >The Customs and Border Protection agency has received funding for 258 miles of barriers: 175 miles from congressional appropriations, 30 miles from a Treasury Department asset forfeiture fund and 53 miles from the Pentagon’s coffers, according to an agency spokesman. >That’s 142 miles under what Mr. Trump claimed. Even that figure relies on counting replacement projects as new wall, on contracts that have yet to be awarded and on funding that is tenuous. The 40 miles funded in the 2017 fiscal year, for example, is to replace old barriers with new fencing, while a federal judge in May blocked Mr. Trump from using the Pentagon funds to build his wall. nytimes.com/2019/06/18/us/politics/trump-fact-check-rally.html

when illegals shit out a baby on US soil, that baby isn't illegal your number is also based on self-identification; sort of like how the illegal population numbers given by DHS are based purely on the ones they know about (for every 1 you know about, there are 3 family members you don't, all using the same SSN).
well when the states defied president Eisenhower he nationalized their guard units and then sent the army in to occupy their capitols, I think something like that would be a good wake up call for blue states that are getting mouthy.

To be fair, the "fence and wall are different" complaint is absolutely legitimate, according to Don himself. He really did backtrack on that.
Trump's Golf Trips Have Cost Taxpayers $102 Million, Just $12.7 Million Behind Obama's Travel During Entire Presidency newsweek.com/trump-golf-102-million-report-1432550 >President Donald Trump's golf outings have already cost U.S. taxpayers at least $102 million, according to an analysis from the HuffPost. >The $102 million paid by Americans to cover security and travel expenses on the golf trips during Trump's almost two and half years in office was about $12.7 million less than what Barack Obama and his family spent on travel during Obama's eight years in the White House, according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog that relies on open records laws.
If you want proof, one only has to have been in L.A. 20 years ago, and L.A. today. It didn't become a primarily spanish speaking city by way of anchor babies.
See Mayor of Chiraq is literally protecting noncitizen gang members instead of citizens and everyone is acting like there is still a political solution that doesn't involve Trump invoking the Insurrection Act.
Yeah, and who would have thought everything Trump went through to get elected would still be easier of killing Chinese manufacturing than getting your aunt to stop shopping at walmart.

SUPERSONIC UK FIGHTER JETS INTERCEPT RYANAIR FLIGHT
A little back story: the DoJ attorney who is arguing the case is Sarah Fabian. She previously asked to postpone this hearing because she had "dog-sitting responsibilities." She was trending twitter worldwide and can her excerpts of her argument before the 9th if you want. She doesn't seem to articulate things rather well and will probably loose, but it doesn't really matter since the 3-judge panel are all Clinton appointees.

I think they already got rid of the records a month or two ago too.
Yes but in fiscal 2018 only 265,000 children had an illegal immigrant parent and about half of Hispanic illegals are female. That would be a very low birth rate on their part and white infants are only 50% and white mothers 52%. Racemixing doesn’t explain shit either. If there was 50,000,000 illegals we’d have at least 2,000,000 anchor babies a year.

>If there was 50,000,000 illegals we’d have at least 2,000,000 anchor babies a year. False positive. They aren't considered illegals if they use an SSN, only after their fraud trial (which barely ever happens)
