Nothing is more important than securing our border. That is not a hateful statement that is a reality. That doesn't mean we do not show compassion or offer aslym to those who need it providing they ovey the rules of the land. If anyone thinks Guadalajara Cartel won't affect them in some way their lifetime than think again. Does wanting border control make me a hater? Heck no it makes me smart! |

They presented all these statistics on FOX this week. I find them very believable given that most of these people have very little education and don't take the time to learn our language.

Location: LuluLand~along I64 Indiana | i must admit the little national news i let in is sooo biased against our current administration and never gives the whole story i rarely pay any attention. But one tid bit that caught my ear over the thanksgiving holiday was the talk of the meeting with the china representitive and the tarrif talks.... Does anyone realize that our president demanded they reduce the opiod dumping on america or no holds barred on tarrifs to their country??? Cry about the unfair trade war tarriffs going on right now but dang that sure is a good stance for us.... and maybe im a little biased but here in Indiana we are in an opiod crisis which has led to a huge influx of human trafficing. |

| Congress can't come up with 5 billion to build the wall but can send 10.5 billion in aid to central America and south mexico from the state dept. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | I hate to throw cold water on a noble cause, but if this GoFundMe account has raised $500K in 3 days, then it will take over 16 years to raise $1 Billion, assuming the contributions keep rolling in at the same rate. We need a helluva lot more.
You can check my math, but I think I’m pretty close.
I have a better idea: Bake sales.

Here is more of why we can't win the battle........against liberalism.....
A federal judge on Wednesday took the extraordinary step of ordering that asylum seekers who sued after their deportation be returned to the U.S. to have their claims heard anew, ruling against the Trump administration's revised asylum policies.
The ruling from U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington came a day after the same judge presided over a contentious sentencing hearing for former national security adviser Michael Flynn -- in which he questioned whether the ex-White House official committed “treason” and accused him of selling out the United States to foreign interests. He later delayed Flynn’s sentencing until 2019, as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
In his sweeping ruling Wednesday against the Trump administration's immigration policies, Sullivan said recent changes violated federal law.

Location: Bastrop, Texas | I don’t think it’s hard to understand why it’s increasingly difficult to win the battle against liberalism. It’s an uphill fight and anyone with any interest understands why. The hate is intensifying. The divisions are widening. “Common ground” is increasingly rare. I don’t see any of this improving.
A few years ago, anyone who dared to openly express their fear that civil war is a distinct possibility would probably be called crazy.
We are no strangers to civil unrest. In fact, this republic was born out of it. I think this time we are venturing into unchartered waters.
I do think some form of civil war is increasingly likely. |

Each person (62,980,160) who voted for Trump sent $15.88 and the 1 Billion+ would be there ...... |

Agreed, but actually $1 Billion is a drop in the bucket. The cost I’ve seen quoted is around $25 Billion. Trump was asking for $5 Billion. I’m not optimistic that even half of the Trump voters will give to GoFundMe.
As much as I’m willing to contribute, I think the GoFundMe drive will come up woefully short. Furthermore, how sure are we that the wall can be constructed this way even if, by some miracle, the needed money was raised? Can congress be legally bypassed in such a way that the wall can just be built if someone donates the funds?
I just don’t know.
