Immigration reform

Where’s the avenue for compromise? It might be for the President to take less than the asked for $5 billion, or it might be for Democrats to ask for something else to sweeten the deal. But none of these compromises are available because Democrats have remained committed to blocking any funding for the wall in their drive to make Donald Trump a one-term President.

Yesterday, CHQ Chairman Richard A. Viguerie issued a news release and call to action calling upon conservatives to contact the White House to urge President Trump to make a primetime televised address explaining why the wall on our southern border is essential for the national security and economic security of the United States.

The Left has made its opposition to the border wall clear, not only through direct commentary, but by what they leave out. The clear benefits of a border wall are being ignored by the media, and only you, Mr. President, using the proven technique pioneered by President Ronald Reagan can make those benefits known to the American people.

Securing the border isn’t going to happen in a Pelosi-run Congress. We urge President Trump to continue to keep his promise to veto any spending bill that does not have his minimum $5 billion for the wall, have the battle for the border wall now before Democrats are stronger and have more tools at their disposal.

Does McConnell think that Republicans will be in a stronger position to fund the wall in February than they are right now? Having control of the House Democrats will also control a host of procedural tools they can use to erect barriers to the President’s plans to build the wall. Democrats will be in a vastly stronger position to thwart the President in February than they are today.

Getting $5 billion to build the wall, and building the wall, is what the year-end budget battle is all about. Shutting down the so-far unfunded pieces of the federal government is only a tactic, not a strategic goal, and having the Pentagon build the wall is one possible solution.

The Democrats’ ever shifting positions on border security and opposition to funding for the border security Wall President Trump promised to build has nothing to do with disagreement on the effectiveness of walls at borders, rather it is a despicable exercise in political hypocrisy in which the only constant is opposition to whatever position President Trump has taken.

The good news is that the House Freedom Caucus has stepped forward with a plan that will address the border wall funding problem: First, a proposal to end the catch and release problem. Second, $5 billion in unrestricted funding for the border wall. Please lend your voice to our “Don’t Waste The Lame Duck, Build The Wall” campaign.

Yesterday's meeting between President Trump and Democratic leaders Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Charles Schumer proved that Trump took away the most important lesson from the funeral of the late George H.W. Bush – failing to fight for your political promises is a guaranteed way to be a one term president. Trump has chosen the right fight to have with the Democrats, and the right time to have it.

We urge CHQ readers and friends to contact their Senators and Representatives today to tell them not to waste the Lame Duck. This is the last opportunity Republicans have to fund the Wall before radical Far-Left Democrats takeover the House and impose gridlock on President Trump’s conservative agenda.

We expect to read many articles in the establishment media about Paul Ryan and tax cuts as his “legacy” as Speaker, but we doubt anyone in the establishment media will write about Ryan’s real legacy – destroying American sovereignty by killing the best chance to pass a strong immigration reform bill and build the wall on our southern border.

Today’s Republican establishment is one of those online retailers whose slick website accepts your credit card for merchandise that is perpetually on back order – voters have paid in good faith, but their order never ships.

Trump hasn't flip-flopped on how to deal with illegal aliens, but acknowledging that actually enforcing our existing laws after years of no enforcement will be “tough” and a “very, very hard thing” can be made to sound like a flip-flop, especially if you are looking for any excuse to undercut Trump and discredit his core message.

There’s an ever so slight glimmer of hope that at least some Republicans in the House are starting to understand what real “reform” might look like – and it means closing, not opening the loopholes in the immigration system that Barack Obama has been using to allow millions of illegal aliens to stay in the United States.

Mitch McConnell & John Boehner are struggling to find a way to fund the Dept. of Homeland Security while meeting conservative demands to unwind Obama’s exec. actions giving legal status to millions of illegals who would face deportation.

The White House is embarking on a public relations pitch to raise awareness about Obama’s exec. amnesty, which the administration claims will provide a boost to the economy & have no negative impact on U.S. workers, a claim which even O has disputed in the past.

Winter snowstorm “Juno” grounded nearly 6,000 flights on Monday, disrupting the travel of lawmakers returning to Washington and scrapping votes in the House.

The National Border Patrol Council, the union that represents more than 16,500 border patrol agents, opposes the House border security bill (H.R. 399) because it is mere “window dressing” - joining the immigration officers' union, which called the bill "a global joke."
