    President Trump continues to take seriously the security of our border. I applaud the administration for proactively taking action. Congress needs to do its part by passing the Build the Wall, Enforce the Law Act.https://www.wane.com/news/national-world/pentagon-sending-5-200-troops-to-secure-border/1560752582 …

        It's not against the law to seek asylum at our border and you know that. Just because you're a bigot and are scared of brown refugees doesn't mean they are breaking any laws by coming here.

        In fact, the Geneva convention requires nations with borders to process refugees, and treat them humanely while processing them through the system. They don't need to be retained forever, but US law is in alignment with our international treaty obligations of Geneva.

        I respectfully disagree. This is an election stunt and waste of taxpayer money. Your support of this is unimpressive.

        Wow, Jim can you imagine the work 5,200 troops could have done to help re-build PR after the Hurricane? No you can’t because 45 believes they are not Americans. He pulled the support early the big baby’s ego was hurt. You never called him out just blindly follow. #GOPTool

        Not on our dime Jimmy. Your leader promised Mexico would pay for it, get the funds from them and then have at it. Such a massive waste of money.

        TELL US THE TRUTH!!! WHO WILL PAY??? "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’ll have Mexico pay for that wall." - Donald Trumppic.twitter.com/SDEYGdRSiH

        Your President is not trying to secure the borders or enforce the law! He’s CLOSING the borders. I’d like for you to name one way a refugee, in need of safe haven, can come here legally under your policies. Matthew 25

        You do realize that if you had a wall, they would still come right? Like they are going to gates and check points to ask for asylum because many of them are refugees. You know this, right?

        You know that no one thinks the wall alone is going to stop all illegal immigration, just act as one part of a deterrent. That is what he mentions "enforcing the law" in his tweet. You know this, right?

        Well, a "wall" is a physical barrier of the kind that many nations use to help secure their borders. Like the physical barrier on Mexico's southern border that "refugees" ripped down a few days ago.

        Um, they would then present themselves at the border and request "asylum", even though very few of them qualify and they could ask for asylum in Mexico, but they would await their hearing in Mexico instead of disappearing into the U.S.

        I assume you are aware that requesting "asylum" is a common tactic illegals are coached on if they get caught to delay deportation and that very few asylum requests are approved because they are bogus.

        I am aware that you've been made aware of that in such a way that it seems alarming and scary. Enjoy your right wing news utopia.

        Trump doesn’t take anything seriously except for his bloated ego. You and the other lemmings have contributed to all of of the killings last week and bomb threats made by white US citizens. I am not afraid of immigrants.

        Nah, I will just show up on election day to vote for Jim Banks and celebrate when he wins re-election in a landslide. Then I will enjoy the impotent screeching of people like you on twitter. Very eloquent and persuasive response by the way.
