Tiberius Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Wow, Mitch actually standing up to President Cry Baby! https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/mcconnell-privately-cautioned-trump-about-emergency-declaration-on-border-wall/2019/02/01/5ff1262c-2646-11e9-81fd-b7b05d5bed90_story.html?utm_term=.e18250671a36 Quote Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell cautioned President Trump privately this week about the consequences of declaring a national emergency to build his border wall, telling him the move could trigger political blowback and divide the GOP, according to two Republicans with knowledge of the exchange. McConnell (R-Ky.) told Trump that Congress might end up passing a resolution disapproving the emergency declaration, the people said — which would force the president to contemplate issuing his first veto ever, in the face of opposition from his own party.

B-Man Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 President Donald J. Trump is Fighting to Prevent Human Trafficking at the Southern Border https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/president-donald-j-trump-fighting-prevent-human-trafficking-southern-border/ HUMANITARIAN CRISIS AT THE BORDER: There is a humanitarian crisis at the southern border as human traffickers victimize countless women and children. Transnational criminal organizations from Mexico and Central America engage in human trafficking in staggering numbers across our southern border. Human traffickers use loopholes in our immigration laws to exploit women and children. More than 30% of women are sexually assaulted on the journey to our southern border. Nearly 70% of migrants traveling north to the United States are victims of violence. In FY 2018, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) made 1,588 Human Trafficking arrests and identified 308 victims. Of the 1,588 arrests, 1,543 were for sex trafficking violations. Without a wall, our southern border is wide open to human trafficking. MORAL OBLIGATION: Democrats and Republicans have a moral obligation to build a wall to protect children and women from human trafficking. Congress has a moral responsibility to pass legislation that strengthens border security and includes funding for a wall to prevent human trafficking in all forms. We need a wall to provide an effective barrier to entry to help decrease kidnapping and human trafficking along the border. Despite Democrats’ objections, there is proof that walls deter illegal entry. Areas with walls have seen a decline in apprehensions of illegal aliens crossing the border. In San Diego, illegal traffic dropped 92% over the past 23 years. In the El Paso sector, illegal traffic dropped 72% in one year and 95% over 22 years. In the Tucson sector, illegal traffic dropped 90% over 15 years. In the Yuma sector, illegal traffic dropped 95% over 9 years. ADMINISTRATION PRIORITY: President Trump has made stopping human trafficking an Administration priority. As one of his first acts as President, he signed an executive order to combat transnational criminal organizations that engage in trafficking and exploit people. Last year, the President signed the Abolish Human Trafficking Act (S. 1311) to strengthen programs supporting survivors and resources for combating modern slavery. Additionally, the President signed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (S. 1312), establishing new prevention, prosecution, and collaboration initiative to bring human traffickers to justice. The President’s Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (PITF) is working to prosecute and combat human trafficking at home and abroad. Reaffirming this Administration’s commitment to ending human trafficking, President Trump proclaimed January 2019 as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. In January, the President signed the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (S. 1862) that tightens criteria for countries to meet for eliminating trafficking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Damn! Texas is being destroyed! “58,000 non-citizens voted in Texas, with 95,000 non-citizens registered to vote. These numbers are just the tip of the iceberg. All over the country, especially in California, voter fraud is rampant. Must be stopped. Strong voter ID! @foxandfriends” — President Trump, in a tweet, Jan. 27, 2019 “Thousands of illegal aliens who have committed sexual crimes against children are right now in Texas prisons. Most came through our Southern Border. We can end this easily - We need a Steel Barrier or Wall. Walls Work! John Jones, Texas Department of Public Safety. @FoxNews” — Trump, in a tweet, Jan. 13, 2019 “23% of Federal inmates are illegal immigrants. Border arrests are up 240%. In the Great State of Texas, between 2011 & 2018, there were a total of 292,000 crimes by illegal aliens, 539 murders, 32,000 assaults, 3,426 sexual assaults and 3000 weapons charges. Democrats come back!” — Trump, in a tweet, Jan. 12, 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Health officials say 5 cases of measles confirmed in Texas Health officials say five cases of measles have been confirmed in southern Texas, including four children under the age of 2. The cases, which were announced Monday, include three in the Houston area, one in Galveston County and one in Montgomery County. A possible sixth case in Texas is awaiting lab confirmation. The announcements come as a measles outbreak hits the Pacific Northwest, where more than 50 cases have been confirmed. Officials urge vaccinations for the contagious virus, which was eradicated in the U.S. in 2000 as a result of immunization but arrives periodically with overseas travelers. https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/health-officials-say-5-cases-of-measles-confirmed-in-texas/1758735295 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
