President Trump Take Tough Stance on Border Wall Funding
By 1600Daily Staff
President Trump has made clear that he will not back down from including border wall funding in the next government spending bill, even if it requires a government shutdown.
I don’t care what the political ramifications are, our immigration laws and border security have been a complete and total disaster for decades, and there is no way that the Democrats will allow it to be fixed without a Government Shutdown…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 31, 2018
…Border Security is National Security, and National Security is the long-term viability of our Country. A Government Shutdown is a very small price to pay for a safe and Prosperous America!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 31, 2018
Government shutdowns are a politically risky business. Once it shuts down, it becomes a game of “chicken”, seeing if Democrats or Republicans blink first. However, Trump has vowed to go through with it even if it damages him politically, because the benefits would far outlive his Presidency, securing America’s border security for years to come.

What is the fine for illegally entering the Country, How many dollars per offender. Does it increase for the Second offense? A $10,000 fine would help finance the wall!
Where are they going to get $10K?
I think that’s the point.
they don’t seem to have any problem coming up with the money in the thousands for the coyotes……….
let them worry about it…..otherwise deport their asses after they have paid in kind with labor for building the WALL……
AMERICA doesn’t owe them DIDDLEY…..PERIOD……
Work it off, from prison “WORK HIRE OUTS” …. CHAIN-GANG. Every one claims we need them to do Work.
Where do they get the $6000 or more to pay for a coyote to bring them??? This has always amazed me!
Put a ball and chain on their legs and make them work off the 10,000 fine building on the wall !!
Pushing a “gardentia” (Wheel Barrow) . We could use then instead of dump trucks. Give our drivers double unemployment if they are not sent to other jobs.
Democrats and REpublicans have told us the lie about immigration for too many administrations. and they have been bluffing. In WWII we had Mexican laborers who signed contract to work on building roads, improving railroads , so heavy, large military equipment could be moved from the manufacturing plants or warehouses to the coast, to be transported by American Merchant Marines to Battle Zones,. Everyone supported WWII with victory gardens, buying victory stamps, and war bonds. Men who were physically and mentally able was in military, and if young, 4F, they were in coast guard or American Merchant Marines. Women worked in factories with men who were 4F , and all did jobs needed, that they were capable of.
——-The Mexicans brought to USA by companies who were responsible for feeding, housing, entertaining them, and the transportation from Mexican border, to where they worked in USA. If they ran off, that company reported them, and paid the cost of finding them, and returning to the work areas. They did not bring families with them, and they had to go home at end of contract. While in USA, they received small amount each month, to buy snacks, or needed items through contracting company. Also a set amount was sent to family of the worker, in Mexico, and remainder was banked at the border, in American bank. When they went back to border, that amount was paid to them, and they made own arrangements to get from border to their homes.
MAKE THE EMPLOYER NOW, RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SUCH EMPLOYEE, BUT DO NOT GUARANTEE THEM CITIZENSHIP. There is a method in our laws, for them to apply, be vetted, and earn the right to be American Citizen, but they have to satisfy awful requirements. And USA has to have a need for such citizens. Just living and breathing is not enough.
That what I think. I think Mexico needs to pony up on these people
If their relatives want them here, let them pay for getting them here, otherwise the whole family can go back. There in lies the problem. If only two people came in that would be fine. Two people come in and then 35 relatives come in and they all live in the same place. Doesn’t matter as long as they have a bed and a bathroom. Windows can be knocked out. the roof can be caving in.
It the windows aren’t broken when they move in they will be within a week. These people don’t care about anything excet free food, housing and medical care.
That’s very true. However, the solution for at least half of the problem is very simple: Trump could pass this edict:
US benefits for US Citizens – PERIOD!
Stiffer penalties on the people hiring them might get better results.
Suspend foreign aid to countries until the wall is built for US citizen’s security. No funding for planned parenthood.
When illegal invader has overstayed their VISA to visit, or whatever, or someone has supported their coming into USA for any reason, fine that company or person. Put lien on any property they own, or on their bank accounts, as a government debt. Only to be released, if that illegal leaves the country, and the cost of finding them, prosecuting them, is paid, would lien or account be settled, if any remains. When illegal labor becomes fully exposed as the cost to USA, will those who are so anxious to support them, will stop it. and hire legal, USA citizens, and train them, or help hem become qualified to do the work. That was the way it was done in 1940s, 1950s, when I graduated high school and started working. I was hired, and taught the job, I was hired to do. And I accepted any job offered. Learned from every job, even if it was only that I did not want to do that rest of my life.
The WALL, a 25 Billion one time expense. Illegal aliens cost Americans 116 BILLION ANNUALLY!! I am sick of going into stores and living around people who have extended family members here from 3rd world countries, not one of them speak English and they aren’t about to learn. They have one family member that is the translator. It is disgusting, and I am sick of it! These ILLEGAL ALIENS hate America, but they love the benefits. I know too many Americans who fell on hard times, and tried to get food stamps, they got a big $10.00 a month, and they just thumbed their nose at the insult, these people are American citizens and had taxes taken out of their income and the “ILLEGAL ALIENS” get the benefit. Go to any grocery store on the first few days of the month, especially Walmart. It isn’t uncommon to see several family members with 3 carts chocked full of everything from junk food to steaks. While they have a line of kids trailing behind and mom is pregnant again. They aren’t speaking English, but they sure are getting the benefits that should belong to our Veterans who are now living on the street, and Americans who paid into the system. This is the creation of Communism, import those who are illiterate, ignorant of our laws, our Constitution and refuse to go through the 4 year process of actually loving this country enough to become a citizen. This is why diseases that were long ago eradicated are popping up again in CA, and bugs we have never had to deal with are coming in with these illegals. They HATE this country, but LOVE the benefits the Democrats give them. Creating a huge BLOCK of this country where very poor, ignorant people are living and the government is will take care of them, assuring the D vote for ever. GET THEM OUT FUND THE WALL NOW!
Shutting down the government is a pure political issue that the democommies have been using very successfully as a “public relations weapon” for decades. 85% of all government spending is run on auto pilot meaning no physical actions or decisions need to be done to send out the money. And even the other 15% that may occur due to an actual missed pay check is taken care of when the stoppage is resolved. No government employee ever loses a cent. Basically they get a “paid vacation”.
Finally!
Shut the “festering bed of corription down!
This is why I voted for President Trump !!!
Me too!!!
Here as well!!!!
DITTO……
BIG TIME………………….
Amen
Government employment is and has always been a “liberal make work program” for other liberals. I have seen in State government where one private sector contractor is brought in to replace 3 or 4 government workers. Government workers are only required to produce
3 1/2 hours of productive work per day. Just try that in the “private sector”. DOES NOT HAPPEN in any private sector jobs I have ever worked in.
The many past “government shutdowns” have proven to be an actual non-event in terms of it’s effect on government operations. While it sounds disastrous it’s proved to be more of a technical matter rather than having much impact on day to day operations. Outside of some gvmt. personnel getting delayed paychecks the unhinged media will however, make it into the end of the earth. Pres. Trump absolutely must stand his ground on this issue or risk losing major voter support. He won his election on this promise and cannot afford to look weak. Screw the Dems!
ABSOLUTLEY!
TRUMPET 2020!!! ???????????????????????????!
The Snowflakes/Liberals probably don’t know about all the other shut downs and they worked. So watch out demrats because President Trump has planted his feet down. Trump has taken enough of your crap grow up and finally show support for all American Citizens for once by providing our security and safety which is what your job title is based on.
DEMOCRATIC PARTY DO YOUR JOBS FOR A CHANGE BY HOLDING UP TO THE CONSTITUTION AND SUPPORTING OUR PRESIDENT. THAT IS WHAT YOU SWORE TO DO WHEN EACH OF YOU EXCEPTED YOUR POSSESSIONS IN OFFICE.
And this time make it a lay off just like any real working American would get, not a paid vacation like it has been in the past. Let them see what it’s like to have to get in the “waiting week” with no pay check and then sweat bullets waiting for an unemployment check before they come to pick up your car. – Most government employees are NWO Marxists (democrat) useless idiots. Let’s see how they like it when their commie congressmen would rather let them starve then to approve the money to secure the border.
Shut it down!
You were so correct! A so-called government shutdown is often a FREE holiday for many govvie workers. Congress gives them their back pay. They never lose a dime. The American public don’t know this … just like they don’t know about the ‘extra’ days government workers are given off — like the day after Thanksgiving, for example — with pay. Oh, and taxpayers don’t know about the “59-minute rule” — oh, boy, wouldn’t they be upset if they knew about THAT! I’ll leave that one for someone else to explain to the trusting taxpayers who think they’re getting good value for their tax payments!
I agree with the President 100%….Liberals have allowed too many ‘little’ things to get inside of our existing laws they are destroying America. If changes are ever made it must be made now regardless of who it inconveniences, me included.
ditto……..I AGREE…..1000%…….
I STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP AND AMERICA…….
Go for it Mr President. These illegals WILL SPELL DOOM for our country — just look overseas for the REAL TRUTH !! CONTROLLED immigration is FINE, in fact, is the life blood of our Country. What we are getting at the present time are DRUGS, CRIMINALS and SEX — the RESULT of uncontrolled (illegal) immigration. It’s LONG PAST TIME for America to reestablish the rule of LAW and CONTROL OUR BORDERS !!!
AGREE BIG TIME LARRY OBRIEN!!!!!OUR BORDERS MUST BE CONTROLLED!!!!!!
I totally agree!!
There was a story about a farmer and a donkey. The donkey had his feet firmly planted and wasn’t going to cross the road. Some “city folks” came upon the scene and found the farmer beating the donkey with a baseball bat. They were quite alarmed to see such a sight. They politely asked the farmer what he was doing, to which he replied, he was just getting the donkey’s attention. I this could very easily be applied to the Dem’s and the Trumpster. He’s beating them everytime.
Do you remember the whole story? The donkey won! He did not budge and someone bought or traded for the donkey.
TRUMPET 2020 ???????????????????????????
Also use all the drug money confiscated and apply it towards the wall. If it’s not quite legal, just remember that if Obama was given the same circumstance he’d do what the hell he’d want to, so just take the darn money, the millions and do the wall. AND as an added bonus for illegals, set huge bonfires of cocaine/weed on the other side to smoke up the place and let them coming across have a good time while they can…is that being mean??
He would give it to ISIS—–
Shut er down…
I AGREE SHUT IT DOWN AND KEEP IT DOWN UNTIL THERE IS FUNDING BUT ALSO CUT OFF CONGRESS MONEY AND BENFITS
That is what needs to happen. Shut the Government down and tell Congress, when you decide to play ball with the circumstances then you will get paid, until then You go home and live off of what you have already made., Your not getting paid as the Government is shut down. Congress needs to feel the pinch in their Perks and in their Pay Checks. No work, no pay. See how fast Congress will come up with the money. I am all for shutting it down. All these people on WElfare, that needs to go next . Tell them to get in touch with their Congressmen and say if I am not getting paid neither are you. So we will see who give out first. Trump doesn’t take a paycheck. Pelosi and Schummer and Maxine can go suck an egg for all I care.
What kind of politician is this guy Trump, he puts the country ahead of his own political ambitions, this just isn’t right, how can we trust a guy like this? How can we bribe someone like him when he already has more money they most of the rest of the government. How are we going to get our Pork Barrel legislation passed and other wasteful government projects. This just isn’t fair, we wouldn’t have these problems if we had elected the Head of the Clinton Crime Family as President, all we would have to do is make a contribution to her foundation and we would be invited to the next White House Dinner, Ah for the good old days of corrupt Washington DC and the obama Socialist Regime, those were the days.
I really hope this post is sarcasm.
What the hell do you think? ,,,,, Get real there, Bunky.
MAGA, Get on the Trump Train or get run over by it.
It is. I guarantee it is.
congress no paycheck… you can’t do your job why should not be paying them… and not a retro kind of thing… with what they make it won’t hurt them at all to be caught up on back pay..
paycheck reduced for every day of a shutdown.
Love your sarcastic humor… but, beware: a few will neither get it nor appreciate it!
Hey Tony, that is one great diatribe. However, you are going to get flak from illiterates who do not comprehend sarcasm. You see, I am allergic to Stupidity. I break out in Sarcasm
You can have the good ole days with Clinton, Bush, Obama. I will stick with Trump.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
I agree!
SCHUMCK schumer is whinnnning outloud!!! and PUTOLOSIE doesn’t remember what the fuss is about!!
AMERICA!! I will just say ….. MR. PRESIDENT …. MAKE SURE THIS SHUT DOWN INCLUDES THE SALARIES FOR ALL SENATORS, CONGRESS, ETC.
SHUT DOWN MEANS NOTHING TO THEM AS WE ALL HAVE FOUND OUT, REASON BEING …. THEY KEEP ON GETTING THEIR AMERICAN PEOPLE’S MONEY WELFARE!! CUT THEIR SALARIES OUT TOO WITH THE SHUT DOWN!! MAYBE YOU WILL OPEN THEIR EYES, EVEN THEIR ASSES TOO!!
Agree 100% Ernesto!!
Amen. You Seat Warming Idiots need to be shut down and shut off and maybe send them to the Border and tell them this is how your going to earn your pay. Someone with Drugs comes across go ahead and confront him and see if you get your ass shot off, go for it,.
Hoorah. Go for it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tony Winters, you must be a liberal, sewer crap democrat … from the statement you have posted, an Obama ding-a-ling kissing moron, or was that ass sucking Moron!!
Back off Ernesto… can’t you see the humor in Tony’s remark with his pretending to be a Democrat???? Get a life!!!
What can I say,,,,and they let them out with out a keeper.
God bless both of them anyway, We have to look out for them. They are both fully on our side, although easily run astray.
It’s sarcasm.
T Winters is making a joke of the Demonrats—-known as satire
President Trump promised us a wall from the very beginning, and that is a campaign promise he MUST keep.
Oorah. It’ll be worth the money just to see Obrador’s face. Don’t forget, it’s just step one. The next step is deportation of illegal alien gang members. Then petty criminals. Then working cheats. Then overstays. Illegal green carders. Consulate chiefs…
Is there a possibility that OBOZO could be put to work holding up the wall??..kinda like Jimmy Hoffa and the freeway?
Shut it down, this will get these dems off their butts. They have been all talk and no action!
like is said……..
MONEY TALKS….BULLSHIDT WALKS………
Let them shut it down Top! It’s their paycheck. Won’t happen for very long. May God bless you and what you’ve taken on! Right here with you Sir! For God and country
God Bless America and President Donald J. Trump
I like the idea of fining all illegals, daily if necessary, to help pay for the wall. That or they go back on their own. I do agree with Trump the laws have been ignored for far too long and they need followed. I can also agree that all of the phony “sanctuary” cities and anyone else including congressional pukes who support them also be fined, personally, daily as well as businesses who use them and triple the fine on congress critters and businesses.
Congress seems to find money to protect other countries borders. They busted a Jordanian and 5 Yemenites trying to breach our unprotected border. So what do you suppose these America haters want? Can you spell 9/11? Never Forget!!!
Trump can get the needed funds to build the wall by a) leaving the U N — this Muslim organization does nothing positive for the USA and only takes away our money — we don’t need it, let it move to Mecca, and we an use the saved money for our wall, which we desperately need. b) arrest the criminal Georg Soros and confiscate his billions — why is he allowed to wheel and deal in our country?? Put this man in prison where he belongs. c) take away the Football Clubs protective taxes — let them pay what they should and use this money also for the wall. d) Take over the Clinton Foundation and confiscate all the millions of dirty, unearned money and use it also for the wall. There are certainly many other sources. The wall must be built — and not a see-through wall — a real wall out of concrete, deep into the ground to prevent tunnels, and high enough to prevent people from throwing things over it, and perhaps electrifying it to stop people trying to climb over it with ladders or whatever the ingenious criminals can think of. Make it horrifying and definite. It would be a good idea to ask Israel for advice, this country is an expert at building walls and destroying tunnels. The Israelis could do it better and cheaper than anybody else.
AGREED!!
All of the ultra left liberals are trying to bully their way into controlling AMERICA’S Federal Government. They feel that it is their way or o way. TO HELL WITH WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Let us continue to allow President Trump to MAGA and once again show the World leaders that AMERICA IS NOT CONSIDERED, ONCE AGAIN, TO BE A PAPER TIGER. Thanks to ObamASS we are fighting a war against illegal ms-13 gang, the lost freedom of speech, not being able to support our political party etc.
CONSERVATIVES MUST GET OUT IN FORCE AND VOTE IN NOVEMBER
The President is right. The Democrats are determined to destroy this country as we have known it and the Republicans have been too spineless to stand up for the American people by closing that border once and for all. I hope and pray that the President stands by his present attitude and closes it down if he has to. He was elected partially onhis commitment to closing the wall and I think he will be reelected on his stance on that wall.
Agree, the candidates both Democrats and republicans are so afraid of the government shutdown. Mr President, we the good people stand by you, everything is a gain if the border wall is built. If worst come to worst, the good Americans can give voluntary donations, drug dealers confiscated money, foreign aids, stop welfare programs except those in need, and others.
Do whatever it takes Mister President, most of the American people have your back.
Went to Frankfurt Germany in 1985 to meet my bride to be parent’s , had a valid passport , had her with me , never been in any trouble, hard working American all my life , had lot’s of money , no criminal record EVER , liked to NEVER got in the Frankfurt Germany . Finally after getting in after 8 hours of waiting , she decided we should go to Paris by train , very romantic to most ladies , got there again liked to NEVER got into Paris wanted 11 hours almost said forget it because I thought I would never get out if I had so much trouble getting in . Finally I got in and I wanted my passport stamped to prove I was there in Paris France in my passport , they refused to stamp it for me finally she talked me into not getting it stamped because she knew they were giving me a hard time time . I am a very clean cut looking guy and both countries put me through pure HELL to get in and out let me tell ya . I felt like if I were it do something wrong over seas I would NEVER get out of jail in either country . Not a pleasant experience at all period !
If they shut down don’t pay them. Bet they don’t shut down.
Long over due. Shut down the government if necessary. Illegals voting in California is just tooooo much, jail the politicians that voted that in. Immigration is a federal law notttttt a state right.
Simply put, shut down the Government up to and including no paychecks for Congress or Senate, money talks bullshit walks.
TRUMP 2020??
PENCE 2024-2032??
MAGA??
Mr President, be sure to freeze all the congressional paychecks, as well! As long as they get their ‘welfare’, they don’t care about the general population. The only money being spent in the ‘shutdown’, should be sent to seniors and veterans! MAGA, Sir! We, the American people are with you!
Any shutdown should include no salary for all those in congress/senate until the shutdown is concluded. NO checks waiting when you get back!!! That includes you Donald…. but then your salary of one dollar or what ever it is, won’t be missed I’m sure. If you really need it I’ll send you a dollar.
100% behind the president. It’s way beyond the time to enforce our immigration laws as they were intended. Democrats are complete obstructionist when it comes to securing our borders and the RINO Republicans should be a shame of themselves. Seal the border now
I support the President in every aspect of his imagration policies . But the wall must be done first then tackle the illegals .
Move the US Army 3 miles into Mexico and build the Wall with the Army Corps of Engineers using the Military Budget to stop the Invasion by Hostile Forces who intend to destroy our Constitutional Republic. The Army in Europe is just the right size to get the Job done. In cities along the Border clear the structures wide enough to build the Wall and a Service Road, 3 miles inside Mexico. Surely has grown up now let them defend themselves. We might have to send a few missiles, with sufficient power to do the Job, into North Korea so we can bring that Army Home. For more details see CreatorisLiberty.com/ store for “America Come Back”

Sadly, he is correct as the Democrats will do whatever they can to keep illegals coming which is why the Republicans have to do whatever it takes to stop them or our country will be destroyed even further than it is already being!
if it takes shutting down the government, then SHUT IT DOWN, and maybe we’ll save a few billion in the process by stopping the Congressional paychecks for dereliction of duty!!
President Trump, the American people believe in you 1000%. We know that a vote for a Democrat is a vote for Communism and Socialism. You just tell the American people who you want us to vote for and who you think will back you up in Congress and we will do the rest. Just think, no more Democrats,Communists or Socialists, and no more rinos. Now we can complete Trump’s agenda by making and keeping America Great Again. BUILD THAT WALL ! GO TRUMP ! GO PENCE ! Sincerely, Martin Korab
It is time to vote out every Democrat to save our country. President Trump needs people that care about this country and the American people. The Democrats only care about power and will do anything for it. That is why they are using the illegals not to help them but to get them to illegally vote for them. They are the greatest danger to our freedom. They do the same thing to all minorities. They enslave them to government entitlements lies and fear So they must vote for them. We must support men and women in government that care about the future of our nation. The Democrat Party is evil but there are a few that want to do good but are afraid of loosing party support. We must also stop
The indoctrination and brainwashing in our education system. It was only in universities but now it is in all levels of the education system. The parents Today are the result of this and do not realize how they have been infected it is like a cancer. Their children are next America will become a socialist communist Marxist country and sadly we are allowing it.
I keep saying, He’s the president and we are not.We hired (elected) him to do a job so let’s all get the hell out of the way and stand with him and let hem get ‘er done. –
If you don’t like what he is doing rin for the job in 2020.
MAGA Get on the Trump Train or get run over by it.
MAGA
Just stand strong beside President Trump…corrupted infiltrated dem’s ARE
wanting govn shut down to cause as much chaos as possible….soros won’t win this time,,,,Period!
SHUT IT DOWN!!!! They don’t understand how they are hurting Americans by letting all of these ILLEGAL CRIMINALS in our country! ENOUGH OF THE TALKING ENOUGH OF ALL THE BS FROM THE LEFT THEY WILL BITCH ABOUT A FREE MEAL So SHUT IT DOWN!!!
Considering nothing much gets done in Congress these days shutting down the Government permanently might be a good idea and let the States keep their own tax money and sink or swim on their own. Only thing we need the Federal Govt for is to manage the Miliatry and Treasury for Federal Expenditures. Get rid of everything else and let the States fund their own needs with their own tax dollars like we did when we were Colonies. I guess that will get folks jumping up and down a bit.
That’s Yo, I think it’s a great idea.
‘Just Do IT’ and let the Dem’s and the Rep’s cry like Schumer!
Trump should let the Government to shut down! Why don’t people check on how many times Bill Clinton allow the government shut down, and long at a time?
Actually it has been my experience that shut downs SAVE MONEY!!!! FIRE congress and make it a part time job for people that full time jobs when their home!!! Take away FULL pay retirement and ALL THE PERKS and ONLY people that really want to serve will run!
OR, deduct from any aide given to their countries, all it costs us to care for them till deported! If we pay $35,000 t0 1 mil a yr for each kid alone, a family has to cost at least 5 mil. Keep record of state and how many are from each! Deduct from their home countries that amount and more for paper work, time…………..Why do we have to be burden? We have way to many of OUR OWN needing help!
