Trump is seeing first-hand the people and tools restoring law and order to our southern border.
President Donald Trump departed for the US-Mexican border Tuesday, hoping to re-energize core supporters cooling to his crisis-riddled presidency and build momentum for a controversial border wall.
Senior White House officials said Tuesday the president will take a close look at Customs and Border Patrol protection equipment, including a Predator drone, a surveillance vehicle and a US border patrol boat. Now, there are 63 miles of fence, and illegal border crossings are down more than 80 percent, according to the Department of Homeland Security. President Trump has said many times that he believes a border wall will keep America safe by keeping criminals and drugs out.
In a speech tailor-made for his voting base, Trump hit every theme that drove him to the White House - immigration and border control, terrorism, healthcare, jobs and rage against the media.
President Trump has acted to build a wall to finally secure the southern border and prevent illegal immigration from spilling into the country.
She tweeted that the email's objective was to provide reporters with "research on Trump's lies" and noted that DNC chair Tom Perez earlier this month said a massive border wall along the southern border of the USA is "ludicrous" and a waste of tax dollars.
To jump start the construction of the border wall Trump proposed, Trump ordered DHS to use $20 million of unspent appropriations in its account for border security, fencing, and infrastructure.
President Donald Trump found in Arizona what he is denied in Washington - an adoring crowd that encourages his bluster. Officials in Phoenix are bracing for large-scale demonstrations as Trump opponents and supporters converge on the city's downtown for the president's appearance Tuesday night. According to Department of Homeland Security statistics, from January 1 to July 31, 2017, the Border Patrol apprehended 126,472 individuals attempting to illegally enter the U.S.at the border.
"Trump has failed to deliver on his signature promise to build a border wall and have Mexico pay for it", the DNC release read.
RESULTS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: In less than a year, President Trump has made substantial progress reducing illegal immigration along the southern border and targeting the most risky criminal illegal aliens in the country.
Illegal aliens removed due to ICE arrests have increased by over 32 percent, to 48,580 illegal aliens, compared to the same time previous year.
And he sent an overt political warning to a Republican Congress that has failed to deliver on nearly all of the president's legislative goals: you owe the voters some progress.
