Democrats Attack Trump’s Expanded Travel Ban

It is clear to even those Americans who are less politically savvy why Democrats want illegal immigration to continue—they want to build their voter block and throw away national boundaries. What really makes one scratch their head in confusion, however, is why they want to see American lives put at risk by inviting unvetted criminals and terrorists into the country. Immediately following the Department of … Continue reading Democrats Attack Trump’s Expanded Travel Ban

Media Blackout on Bill Not Putting America First

President Trump ran on a ticket to the White House that promised to put Americans first. Too bad for us, the Republican corporatists in Congress don’t feel the same.

Trump’s Infrastructure Plan Must Be a Priority to #MAGA

What Would Really Happen If Trump Closes the Border?

What would really happen if Trump closed the Mexican-U.S. border as part of his declared emergency or by executive order? Not a lot. Allow me to explain. There was a gray and distant past in which there were no avocados available, or any warm climate produce, if it was out of season.

Immigration Isn’t the Answer to Low Birth Rates

In the United States, for example, more than $100 billion is spent per year to support illegal aliens and their children on welfare programs and subsidies. This huge sum of money could be redirected to … Continue reading Immigration Isn’t the Answer to Low Birth Rates
