Letter to Members of Congress - The Need to Secure Our Borders
Pres. Donald Trump
Jan. 2, 2019
Remarks by President Trump in Cabinet Meeting
Pres. Donald Trump
Dec. 31, 2018
Tweet - "I campaigned on Border Security, which you cannot have without a strong and powerful Wall. Our Southern Border has long been an "Open Wound," where drugs, criminals (including human traffickers) and illegals would pour into our Country. Dems should get back here an fix now!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Dec. 29, 2018
Tweet - "Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally. They can't. If we had a Wall, they wouldn't even try! The two....."
Pres. Donald Trump
Dec. 28, 2018
Tweet - "....The United States looses soooo much money on Trade with Mexico under NAFTA, over 75 Billion Dollars a year (not including Drug Money which would be many times that amount), that I would consider closing the Southern Border a "profit making operation." We build a Wall or....."
Pres. Donald Trump
Dec. 28, 2018
Tweet - "We will be forced to close the Southern Border entirely if the Obstructionist Democrats do not give us the money to finish the Wall & also change the ridiculous immigration laws that our Country is saddled with. Hard to believe there was a Congress & President who would approve!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Dec. 28, 2018
Tweet - "We will be forced to close the Southern Border entirely if the Obstructionist Democrats do not give us the money to finish the Wall & also change the ridiculous immigration laws that our Country is saddled with. Hard to believe there was a Congress & President who would approve!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Dec. 27, 2018
Tweet - "The reason the DACA for Wall deal didn't get done was that a ridiculous court decision from the 9th Circuit allowed DACA to remain, thereby setting up a Supreme Court case. After ruling, Dems dropped deal - and that's where we are today, Democrat obstruction of the needed Wall."
Pres. Donald Trump
Dec. 27, 2018
Tweet - "I totally agree!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Dec. 27, 2018
Tweet - "There is right now a full scale manhunt going on in California for an illegal immigrant accused of shooting and killing a police officer during a traffic stop. Time to get tough on Border Security. Build the Wall!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Dec. 21, 2018
Rep. John Ratcliffe votes for $5.7 billion wall funding
John Ratcliffe
Dec. 20, 2018
Tweet - "Soon to be Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, last week live from the Oval Office, that the Republicans didn't have the votes for Border Security. Today the House Republicans voted and won, 217-185. Nancy does not have to apologize. All I want is GREAT BORDER SECURITY!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Dec. 20, 2018
Remarks by President Trump at Signing of H.R. 2, the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018
Pres. Donald Trump
Dec. 18, 2018
Tweet - "Illegal immigration costs the United States more than 200 Billion Dollars a year. How was this allowed to happen?"
Pres. Donald Trump
Dec. 17, 2018
Tweet - "Anytime you hear a Democrat saying that you can have good Boarder Security without a Wall, write them off as just another politician following the party line. Time for us to save billions of dollars a year and have, at the same time, far greater safety and control!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Dec. 16, 2018
Tweet - "The Democrats policy of Child Seperation on the Border during the Obama Administration was far worse than the way we handle it now. Remember the 2014 picture of children in cages - the Obama years. However, if you don't separate, FAR more people will come. Smugglers use the kids!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Dec. 11, 2018
PBS "News Hour" - Transcript: Rep. Collins: Trump Putting Security First with Border Wall Fight
Doug Collins
Dec. 11, 2018
Tweet - "Despite the large Caravans that WERE forming and heading to our Country, people have not been able to get through our newly built Walls, makeshift Walls & Fences, or Border Patrol Officers & Military. They are now staying in Mexico or going back to their original countries......."
Pres. Donald Trump
Dec. 3, 2018
Tweet - "We would save Billions of Dollars if the Democrats would give us the votes to build the Wall. Either way, people will NOT be allowed into our Country illegally! We will close the entire Southern Border if necessary. Also, STOP THE DRUGS!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Nov. 26, 2018
Remarks by President Trump Before Marine One Departure
Pres. Donald Trump
Nov. 26, 2018
Tweet - "Mexico should move the flag waving Migrants, many of whom are stone cold criminals, back to their countries. Do it by plane, do it by bus, do it anyway you want, but they are NOT coming into the U.S.A. We will close the Border permanently if need be. Congress, fund the WALL!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Nov. 24, 2018
Tweet - "Migrants at the Southern Border will not be allowed into the United States until their claims are individually approved in court. We only will allow those who come into our Country legally. Other than that our very strong policy is Catch and Detain. No "Releasing" into the U.S..."
Pres. Donald Trump
Nov. 23, 2018
Remarks by President Trump in Thanksgiving Teleconference with Members of the Military
Pres. Donald Trump
Nov. 18, 2018
Tweet - "Catch and Release is an obsolete term. It is now Catch and Detain. Illegal Immigrants trying to come into the U.S.A., often proudly flying the flag of their nation as they ask for U.S. Asylum, will be detained or turned away. Dems must approve Border Security & Wall NOW! "

Pres. Donald Trump
Nov. 1, 2018
Tweet - "Illegal immigration affects the lives of all Americans. Illegal Immigration hurts American workers, burdens American taxpayers, undermines public safety, and places enormous strain on local schools, hospitals and communities..."
Pres. Donald Trump
Oct. 31, 2018
Tweet - "So-called Birthright Citizenship, which costs our Country billions of dollars and is very unfair to our citizens, will be ended one way or the other. It is not covered by the 14th Amendment because of the words "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." Many legal scholars agree.........Harry Reid was right in 1993, before he and the Democrats went insane and started with the Open Borders (which brings massive Crime) "stuff." Don't forget the nasty term Anchor Babies. I will keep our Country safe. This case will be settled by the United States Supreme Court!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Oct. 31, 2018
Remarks by President Trump Before Marine One Departure
Pres. Donald Trump
Oct. 31, 2018
Tweet - "Our military is being mobilized at the Southern Border. Many more troops coming. We will NOT let these Caravans, which are also made up of some very bad thugs and gang members, into the U.S. Our Border is sacred, must come in legally. TURN AROUND!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Oct. 29, 2018
Tweet - "Many Gang Members and some very bad people are mixed into the Caravan heading to our Southern Border. Please go back, you will not be admitted into the United States unless you go through the legal process. This is an invasion of our Country and our Military is waiting for you!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Oct. 26, 2018
Tweet - "The United States has been spending Billions of Dollars a year on Illegal Immigration. This will not continue. Democrats must give us the votes to pass strong (but fair) laws. If not, we will be forced to play a much tougher hand."
Pres. Donald Trump
Oct. 25, 2018
Tweet - "Just spoke with Prime Minister @GiuseppeConteIT of Italy concerning many subjects, including the fact that Italy is now taking a very hard line on illegal immigration......I agree with their stance 100%, and the United States is likewise taking a very hard line on illegal immigration. The Prime Minister is working very hard on the economy of Italy - he will be successful!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Oct. 25, 2018
Tweet - "To those in the Caravan, turnaround, we are not letting people into the United States illegally. Go back to your Country and if you want, apply for citizenship like millions of others are doing!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Oct. 24, 2018
Tweet - "For those who want and advocate for illegal immigration, just take a good look at what has happened to Europe over the last 5 years. A total mess! They only wish they had that decision to make over again."
Pres. Donald Trump
Oct. 24, 2018
Tweet - "We are a great Sovereign Nation. We have Strong Borders and will never accept people coming into our Country illegally!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Oct. 22, 2018
Tweet - "Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them."
Pres. Donald Trump
Oct. 22, 2018
Tweet - "Sadly, it looks like Mexico's Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy. Must change laws!"
