DICTATOR! LEFTISTS FREAK OUT OVER PLAN TO DECLARE NATIONAL EMERGENCY TO BUILD WALL
Meltdown goes into overdrive
FEBRUARY 14, 2019
Anti-Trump leftists reacted with horror to the news that the president is about to declare a national emergency to build the wall, labeling Trump a “dictator”.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that Trump would be signing a spending bill to keep the government open but will also be “issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time,” which McConnell would support.
Within minutes, liberals adopted alarmist rhetoric, claiming that the decision proves their already held belief that Trump is a dictator.
Judd Legum tweeted that Trump had been forced to act like a “dictator” because he couldn’t get Mexico or Congress to pay for the wall.
Max Temkin, founder of Cards Against Humanity and former consultant for Barack Obama, compared the declaration to Hitler seizing power after the Reichstag fire.
“An executive declaring a national emergency to circumvent a legislative body is straight out of the dictator textbook. Don’t let anyone try to claim otherwise, because historically, this is how it’s worked,” commented journalist Kris M. Wernowsky.
Former Democratic Congressional candidate Dr. Dena Grayson followed suit.
Leftist heads on Twitter exploded.
“Trump’s ‘national emergency’ action is the stuff of a fascist dictator and should be opposed in every possible way. It is profoundly racist and un-American,” claimed one user.
“Egypt was under national emergency for 30 years. 8 years ago this week, the people rose up and removed their dictator. We don’t have to wait 30 years,” screeched another user.
“Welcome to the kingdom of Trump first dictator of America. We have got to get this clown out of office,” asserted another.
Trump’s emergency declaration is inevitably going to be tied up in court, meaning it will receive due process and thereby prove that Trump is not in fact a dictator.
GOP/Dem Deal Spends 40X as Much on Foreign Countries as Border Wall
By John Binder
A Republican-Democrat spending bill being offered to President Trump spends nearly 40 times as much on foreign aid as it does on a wall to secure the United States-Mexico border.
Though Trump requested about $5.7 billion to fund a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, a spending package written by elected Republicans and Democrats funds just $1.3 billion for 55 miles of wall at the border.
Meanwhile, the deal spends nearly 40 times as much American taxpayer money on foreign aid as it does on a border wall. In total, about $50 billion is spent on foreign aid, including:
- $9.15 billion for international security assistance
- $1.9 billion for foreign food and hunger programs
- $3.1 billion for global health programs
- $3 billion for international development assistance
- $3.7 billion to support the economies of foreign countries
- $4.4 billion for international disaster assistance
- $3.8 billion for assistance for foreign refugees
The $1.3 billion for a border wall in the spending bill is a fraction of the total $14.9 billion budget that is awarded to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency. The bulk of funding in the CBP budget goes towards funding “border security technology.”
Congress Reveals Details of Border ‘Compromise’ $1.375B for New Construction — Bollard Only? $415M in ’Humanitarian Relief’ for Border Crossers
By John Binder
The details of a Republican-Democrat border deal package includes about $1.3 billion for 55 miles of construction at the United States-Mexico border for “physical barrier” and $415 million in “humanitarian relief” for border crossers.
The bipartisan offer to President Trump falls short of the $5.7 billion that the White House requested in border wall funding, providing just $1.375 billion in total to construct about 55 miles of new physical barriers in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas, sector of the southern border. The full text of the legislation can be read here. Section 230 discusses border construction funding — which appears to limit new construction to bollard fencing:
The amounts designated in subsection (a)(l) shall only be available for operationally effective designs de20 ployed as of the date of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017 (Public Law 115-31), such as currently deployed steel bollard designs, that prioritize agent safety.
Roughly $100 million will fund “new border security technology.”
Meanwhile, the offer includes $415 million in “humanitarian relief specifically for medical care, transportation, food, and cloth” and funds “humanitarian improvements” for the McAllen, Texas, processing center and for a new El Paso, Texas U.S. Border Patrol processing center.
The spending deal attempts to reduce overall detention of border crossers and illegal aliens by limiting the number of beds at federal detention centers to only 40,250 — far less than the 52,000 the Trump administration requested.
The limited detention space will mean that current rates of Catch and Release — where border crossers and illegal aliens are released into the interior of the U.S. — will continueas they have throughout 2017 and 2018.
While reducing detention space for federal immigration officials, the spending deal ramps up what is known as “Alternative to Detention” (ATD) programs that effectively allow for illegal aliens and border crossers to be released into the U.S. with ankle monitors.
Homeland Security officials have previously told Breitbart News these programs are ineffective in monitoring border crossers and that illegal aliens who have been released put into ATD programs are rarely ever deported as federal officials lose track of them.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — tasked with deporting the 12 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. — would not receive any additional funding to add enforcement and deportation agents to the agency, despite requests by Trump.
Though Trump has yet to confirm his support for the spending, White House aides have told the media that they believe the president will sign the deal.
Illegal immigration at the southern border is expected to reach levels that have not been seen since President George W. Bush if reforms are not implemented this year. Researchers project, at current rates, there will be more than 600,000 illegal aliens apprehended at the border this year. In December 2018, there were about 51,000 border crossers apprehended and 52,000 apprehended in November 2018. This is a two-month border crosser population that exceeds the total population of Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
GOP Lawmakers Got Played: Details of Border Deal Shows Democrat Dream Agreement
by Jim Hoft February 14, 2019
Congressional negotiators announced on Monday night they have a border wall funding agreement they believe President Trump will sign into law.
The agreement was announced by a group of lawmakers led by Republican Sen. Richard Shelby and Democratic Rep. Nita Lowey, after a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill.
On Wednesday FOX News announced Democrats slipped a “poison pill” into the deal that will prevent the 55 miles of wall from being built.
But the agreement is even worse than what is being reported.
The areas Trump cannot build any wall.
Funds can only be used to make steel bollard design… no concrete wall, no prototypes. Same thing as what Bush and Obama built… just a little bit taller.
VOTE: Are You Still In Favor Of The Border Wall?
The bill secures more than $3.1 billion in foreign health services, more than twice for the wall.
Sec. of DHS cannot increase border crossing fees.
Border “Wall” construction is only allowed in the Rio Grande Valley Sector.
The bill DOES expand Catch and Release by reducing the number of border beds from 49,060 to 40,520.
No funding for additional enforcement and removal field personnel. – that means no more ICE agents to deport people already in the country.
Expands the Alternatives to Detention program from 82,000 to 100,000… so instead of housing family units at the border- they get moved into the interior where they almost always stay in the country permanently.
Provides $40 million for additional ICE staffing dedicated to overall ATD case management, particularly for asylum seekers… so no new ICE agents, but money to ICE to help illegal aliens settle in a non-detention center in the country.
$3.4 billion in refugee assistance – $74 million more than last year
$4.4 billion in international disaster assistance – $100 million more than last year
Does not eliminate any foundations that Trump wanted to get rid of including: The Asia Foundation, the U.S. African Development Foundation, the Inter-American Foundation, and the U.S. Trade and Development Agency
Once again the Republicans in Congress got outplayed.
Deported Sex Offenders Continue to Exploit Incomplete Border Walls
By Bob Price
Sex offenders previously removed from the country by immigration officers continue to exploit outdated or incomplete border walls to regain entry into the U.S. El Centro Border Patrol Sector agents apprehended eight such offenders this fiscal year who illegally crossed into Southern California.
During Fiscal Year 2019, which began on October 1, 2018, El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended eight previously deported illegal aliens with histories of being removed from the U.S. after convictions for sexual offenses — often against children, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Recent examples include one who crossed the border 25 miles east of the Calexico Port of Entry on Monday. During a biometric background investigation, agents learned that a California court convicted the 37-year-old Mexican national, Salvador Toribio-Gonzalez, in 2002 for Sex with a Minor, officials stated. Immigration officers removed the man in 2004 after he served one year in state prison. He also received three years of probation as part of his sentencing agreement.
The apprehension of previously deported sex offenders is not unique to the El Centro Sector.
Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol agents also recently arrested previously deported illegal immigrants with criminal histories that include sex crimes. On February 7, Rio Grande City Station agents arrested a Salvadoran man who illegally crossed the border near Roma, Texas. A records check revealed that a court in Conroe, Texas, convicted the Salvadoran national for Sexual Intercourse with a minor. The man received a sentence of six months in jail and three years probation.
The following day, Rio Grande City agents apprehended another previously deported migrant while patrolling near Cuevitas, Texas. During a background investigation, agents learned that a court in Centralia, Washington, convicted the Salvadoran national for Rape of a Child in the 2nd Degree. The court sentenced the violent sex offender to 41 months in state prison before immigration officers removed him to El Salvador.
On Saturday, Rio Grande City Station agents apprehended a Mexican man who illegally crossed the border near Roma, Texas. Court records revealed a conviction in Georgia for Child Molestation that carried a five-year prison sentence.
Breitbart News reports extensively on previously deported sex offenders and other criminal aliens who are stopped by Border Patrol agents from successfully re-entering the United States.
‘New Normal’: ICE Arrested 200 Illegals In North Carolina Last Week
By Tom Pappert
North Carolina sheriffs failed to realize their refusal to enforce immigration laws would require ICE to pick up the slack.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement reports that since two sheriffs in North Carolina are refusing to work with the agency, it has begun sweeping raids throughout the state and arrested 200 illegal immigrants last week alone.
Calling it the “new normal,” ICE director Sean Gallagher explained that these agency-led raids are the “direct conclusion” of local law enforcement refusing to work with the agency. Two newly elected sheriffs, representing the state’s two most populous counties, have stopped reporting the citizenship status of those they apprehend in an effort to strangle the federal agency.
The Charlotte Observer reported:
“This is the direct conclusion of dangerous policies of not cooperating with ICE,” said Sean Gallagher, who oversees the agency’s operation in the Carolinas and Georgia. “This forces my officers to go out onto the street to conduct more enforcement.”

Since December, newly elected sheriffs in the state’s two most populous counties — Mecklenburg and Wake — have reversed a policy that notifies ICE about the legal status of inmates in county jails. The Durham County Sheriff’s Office also ended the practice of honoring ICE detainers.
These changes, Gallagher said, have given the agency “no choice” but to conduct targeted enforcement across the state this week. “This is politics over public safety at its worst.”
Last week, ICE detained over 200 illegal immigrants in North Carolina during their sweeping raids, and discovered another 25 during an unrelated raid.
Pledging to end all cooperation with ICE, newly elected Wake County Sheriff Gerald Baker doubled down on his promise when sworn in last year.
The News Observer reported:
“We serve a lot of communities,” Baker said as he stood next to Uriel Rodriguez, a middle school student he met while campaigning. “We want to make it so that the Wake County Sheriff’s Office treats everybody the same and improves the quality of life for each and every person. It’s about humanity. It’s about just caring for people. That’s a large part of what this office will be doing, moving forward.”
Apparently Baker and the other North Carolina sheriffs elected on similar platforms failed to realize that his agency’s refusal to enforce federal law due to its love of “caring for” illegal immigrants would simply result in federal enforcement of already existing laws.

Mexican flags were waving at the rally of failed Senate candidate Robert “Beto” O’Rourke tonight as he denounced the effort to build a wall to protect America.

BETO: ‘WE STAND FOR AMERICA AND WE STAND AGAINST WALLS’
‘I’m glad the country is here to see us’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
O’ROURKE: “We stand for America and we stand against walls. We know there is no bargain in which we can sacrifice some of our humanity to gain a little of our security. We know that we deserve and will lose both of them if we do. We stand for the best traditions and values of this country. For our fellow humanity and that’s El Paso, Texas. I’m glad the country is here to see us.”
Trump: ‘Crazy’ Democrats Making ’Brand New Demand’ to Stop Deportations
By Charlie Spiering
President Donald Trump reacted Monday to new demands from House Democrats to cap the detention of illegal immigrants in the United States.
“The Democrats do not want us to detain, or send back, criminal aliens!” Trump wrote on Twitter. “This is a brand new demand. Crazy!”
Democrats on the bipartisan compromise border security committee to fund the wall issued a demand for a “cap” on the number of beds used for detained illegal immigrants.
“For far too long, the Trump administration has been tearing communities apart with its cruel immigration policies,” Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA) said in a statement. “A cap on ICE detention beds will force the Trump administration to prioritize deportation for criminals and people who pose real security threats, not law-abiding immigrants who are contributing to our country.”
Roybal-Allard is one of the members of the conference committee looking for a compromise solution to Trump’s demand for $5.6 billion in wall funding to secure the border.
Trump also reacted to the new demands on Sunday.
“The Border Committee Democrats are behaving, all of a sudden, irrationally,” he wrote. “Not only are they unwilling to give dollars for the obviously needed Wall (they overrode recommendations of Border Patrol experts), but they don’t even want to take muderers (sic) into custody! What’s going on?”
Trump is expected to rally supporters in El Paso, Texas on Monday ahead of the new February 15 deadline to fund the government.
