By now, you likely know that President Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday to build a wall between Mexico and the U.S. What you perhaps didn't know is that Democrats can't stop him. Why? They've already approved it.
Whether you like the idea or not, building a wall to slow the flood of illegal immigration into the U.S. from Mexico and Central America was one of the signature pledges that President Trump made while on the campaign trail.
"I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I'll build them very inexpensively," Trump said when he announced his campaign for the presidency in 2015.
"And I will make Mexico pay for that wall," he added. "Mark my words."
On Wednesday, in partial fulfillment of that pledge, Trump ordered the wall to be built and also cut federal funding for so-called sanctuary cities.
The idea of a border wall still rankles Democrats, as it did during last year's presidential campaign. But if Donkey Party lawmakers really want to know who's to blame for Trump's wall, they need only look in the mirror..... http://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/president-trump-gets-his-wall-thanks-to-democrats/
