An update on the border wall!

Image
  The White House •  August 19, 2020 An update on the border wall! President Trump  traveled yesterday to Yuma, Arizona, where he met with Border Patrol officers and gave Americans an update on the border wall with Mexico.   “This administration  has basically funded us for 733 miles” of wall, Lieutenant General Todd Semonite of the Army Corps of Engineers said. “Forty-nine different projects are all going in the ground” across four states.   🎬  President Trump: “In 2 weeks, we will have hit 300 miles of wall.”   The new wall system  is one piece of President Trump’s larger agenda to protect America’s security and sovereignty. Last year, he negotiated historic agreements with Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras to help stop the flood of illegal immigration across our border. Mexico even deployed thousands of troops to help.   Border apprehensions  have fallen by more than 70 percent since last May as a result.   Ameri...

fight for the only client. I've ever had: The people

  What a week it’s been. Just over a week ago, Vice President Biden and I announced that I'd be joining this campaign as his running mate -- and now, I just finished speaking at the Democratic National Convention. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for the outpouring of support we’ve received from Democrats in every corner of this nation. Even before I joined the ticket, I was committed to seeing this fight all the way through to November. Joe Biden talks about restoring the soul of our nation, and that’s exactly what’s on the line right now. We don’t have to accept the failed leadership of Donald Trump and Mike Pence -- but if we’re going to make a change, it will require clear commitments from people just like you while there’s still time. That’s why I’m coming to you today. if you’re able, will you split a $10 donation between our campaign and the DNC today? I’m so ready to tackle our biggest challenges with Joe Biden and our fellow Democrats in just a few months, but there’s critic...

first Latino-Arab American to run for Congress

  Robert, I’m so proud to endorse my friend Ammar Campa-Najjar for Congress. As the son of a single mother, Ammar grew up living paycheck to paycheck. Now, he’s the first Latino-Arab American to run for Congress.  He’s proof the American Dream is still possible. Winning this race won’t be easy, Robert. Ammar is neck and neck in one of the most competitive districts in California against one of the most dangerous Republicans in politics --  Darrell Issa. So I’m personally asking:   Can you pitch in $5 or more to help elect Ammar in November? It’s so important that he wins: $5 ➞ $35 ➞ $50 ➞ Other ➞ Robert, with less than 100 days until the election, Republicans are pouring millions of dollars into California to hold onto Ammar’s district. If they’re successful, Republicans could slash affordable health care and gut Social Security.  They could even take back our House Majority. We’ve fought too hard, for too long, ...

Donald Trump can succeed where the others fail because he is transactional

  The Israel-UAE Deal Proves That President Trump's Foreign Policy is Working “President Trump has so far been a remarkably successful foreign-policy president. His success lies in his ability to identify America’s national interest clearly and pursue it without regard to outdated ideological investments,” Daniel McCarthy writes in  The American Conservative .   From China to Iran to the new Middle East deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, “Donald Trump can succeed where the others fail because he is transactional, not ideological, and he looks out for the American interest—which is peace through stability—rather than trying to bring about peace through perfection.”     Click here to read more. “More than 1,000 arrests have been made in major metropolitan cities since the Department of Justice launched Operation Legend in July,” Danielle Wallace reports. “Operation Legend is the heart of the federal government’s response to this upturn in violent cr...
