RINOs still obstructing Trump

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (RINO\WIS) has said he will delay any debate about the southern border wall funding until September. He has enlisted the help of liberals Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi  to help in his continuing effort to undermine President Trump’s agenda. He has already successfully halted the repeal of Obamacare for the foreseeable future. He is openly obstructing Donald Trump’s efforts to put together a reasonably effective federal budget. Senator John McCain (traitor/AZ) and House Representatives Will Hurd of Texas and Martha Mc Sally of Arizona are very outspoken critics of the southern border wall. I sincerely hope the Establishment Republicans/RINOs are held to account the next time they’re up for election. I can’t imagine openly defying the main agenda item that Donald Trump campaigned and won on can be a winning vote-getter unless they are expecting a big bump in illegal voter help. John McCain is a vindictive old man who needs to be replaced by a real Republican. He has gone overseas twice that I’m aware of and badmouthed and disrespected the President of the United States in foreign countries. Barack Obama did his apology tours at the beginning of his administration and again at the end which did not bode well with real Americans. But again McCain and Obama have both survived their anti-American sentiments.

One last dig on John McCain, the poster child for future dementia advertisements: McCain claims there is a lot of anti-American sentiment in Mexico. As a United States Senator one would think he would be more concerned about the anti-illegal Mexican sentiment in the US.

A Mexican government official stated that the wall would be an unfriendly gesture by the US. That insinuates that the invasion of the US by his countrymen is a friendly gesture on their part. I have trouble grasping the complete disregard for US border sovereignty. Even John McCain, as a member of the Homeland Security Commission, could see the 5 ton elephant in the room. He took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the United States and maintain the security of US citizens. That oath of office made no mention about what the Mexicans think.

Some American landowners along the border are also fighting the wall crossing their property. I am not a big fan of federal eminent domain. It has been used on many occasions for far lesser reasons than national security. It surprises me that the landowners aren’t tired of the illegals crossing their land. It is been well documented that the illegals leave a lot of garbage and traffic in poisonous drugs that surely affect the lives of even their family and friends.

The Heritage Foundation, a right-leaning institution, published a paper in 2013 called “The Fiscal Cost of Unlawful Immigration and Amnesty to the US Taxpayers”. The paper concluded that total taxpayer benefits and services received by unlawful immigrant households, and total taxes paid less benefits paid, was a net loss to US taxpayers of $54.5 billion per year. According to their study paper there were approximately 3.7 million unlawful immigrant households in the United States. In the last four years of Obama’s wide open borders one could easily assume that number has increased by at least 20% making the new number of illegal households around 4.5 million. Assuming again a low estimate of five persons per household that means that there are 22.5 million illegals in the US and not the outdated number of 12 million that has been used for so many years. If the US spends $54.5 billion per year that means that taxpayers spend $4.5 billion per month on illegal households. Using the top estimate of $40 billion to build a wall, and ending all illegal household entitlements, we could pay for the wall in less than nine months. Each year thereafter is a net gain to taxpayers of $54.5 billion. In reality, cutting off the US dollars sent to Mexico by illegals does actually result in Mexico paying for the wall! Donald was right.

So let’s be fair and site a Pew Research poll that produced results that claims that American voters are opposed to the border wall 67% to 35%. The first indication of a bogus poll is that the total number of voters in the survey comes out to 102%. It is not numerically possible to poll above 100% of a population. If you actually read the Pew Research data you’ll see a noticeably higher number of liberals are polled in relation to Republicans. In other words, take Pew Research polls with a grain of salt. If I were a skeptic of Pew, a left-leaning pollster, I would assume they may have polled voters on the south side of the Rio Grande.

I am very skeptical of numbers that are produced by government agencies especially because of the last eight years of Obama’s lies. Here is some good news. The Trump Administration is touting a 67% decrease in the number of illegal border crossings since he took office. I hope that is true. That statistic is a direct result of Trump enforcing our already-on-the-books immigration laws. We don't need no stinking immigration reform! I guess the illegals are hesitant to come in the US knowing they very well won’t be staying long. Isn’t it refreshing to know that an elected official will actually enforce our laws and keep his campaign promises? It is equally sad that a couple of unelected federal judges with anti-American ideologies can override the effort by a US President to accomplish his oath of office by keeping US citizens safe. That same oath was taken by those constitutionally challenged activist judges. I am of course referring to the two or three federal appellate judges that declared Trump’s immigration policy inconsistent with their personal views. Now you know why Harry Reid did the “nuclear option” in order to get Obama’s judge picks in place at that federal judicial level. Obama can depend on his liberal federal appointees to obstruct Trump’s dismantling of his anti-American legacy.

I want to give proper kudos to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for applying the same nuclear option for Trump’s Supreme Court pick Neil Gorsuch. “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander”. Trump may very well appoint two or more Supreme Court Justices in his eight years as President. If he does that will make the number of right-leaning justices 5 ½ to 3 ½, the half of course being Chief Justice John Roberts. Sorry, I couldn’t pass up that dig.


God Bless America!!!
