thegatewaypundit--2020-02-24--EXCLUSIVE: Former DNI ‘Deep State Dan’ Coats Created Election Security Position – Same Person Who Ju

EXCLUSIVE: Former DNI ‘Deep State Dan’ Coats Created Election Security Position – Same Person Who Just Lied and Claimed Russia Was Helping Trump

In his resignation letter , dated July 28 , Coats , 76 , thanked the president for the opportunity to serve as DNI , which he called a “ distinct privilege.
” “ I have overseen the selection of new , extremely capable leaders across the IC , and within the ODNI , have transformed its focus , structure , and integration efforts to ensure you have the best , most timely , and unbiased intelligence possible , ” Coats wrote .
“ As we have previously discussed , I believe it is time for me to move on to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Therefore , I hereby submit to you my resignation effective August 15 , 2019.
” Earlier this month Coats announced the creation of a new senior-level position to coordinate election security efforts across the intelligence community .
Known as the election threats executive , the new position is responsible for coordinating “ all election security activities , initiatives , and programs.
” The president ’ s tweet ended months of speculation that Mr. Coats would either soon depart or be ousted from his role .
Though he was among the longest-serving national security @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Coats ’ public statements on behalf of the intelligence community occasionally ran contrary to Mr. Trump ’ s preferred policy outcomes , stoking the president ’ s ire .
At the annual Worldwide Threats hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee in January , Coats said North Korea would “ seek to retain ” its nuclear program , though the president had months ago declared it “ no longer ” posed a nuclear threat .
He said Iran was continuing to abide by the terms of the nuclear deal from which president Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Coats also said ISIS ’ pervasive ideology meant it would continue to pose a threat , though the president had recently declared the terror group “ defeated ” and ordered the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria .
After the January hearing , President Trump tweeted that “ The Intelligence People ” were “ wrong ” and should “ go back to school .
”

Former Director of National Intelligence created a special position before leaving office in July 2019. Coats, who was a card carrying member of the Deep State, was a critic of the President and did a horrible job of seeking the truth during the sham and criminal Mueller Investigation.
CBS reported in July about Coats leaving office [emphasis added]:
In his resignation letter, dated July 28, Coats, 76, thanked the president for the opportunity to serve as DNI, which he called a “distinct privilege.” “I have overseen the selection of new, extremely capable leaders across the IC, and within the ODNI, have transformed its focus, structure, and integration efforts to ensure you have the best, most timely, and unbiased intelligence possible,” Coats wrote. “As we have previously discussed, I believe it is time for me to move on to the next chapter of my life. Therefore, I hereby submit to you my resignation effective August 15, 2019.” Earlier this month Coats announced the creation of a new senior-level position to coordinate election security efforts across the intelligence community. Known as the election threats executive, the new position is responsible for coordinating “all election security activities, initiatives, and programs.” The president’s tweet ended months of speculation that Mr. Coats would either soon depart or be ousted from his role. Though he was among the longest-serving national security officials in the president’s cabinet, Coats’ public statements on behalf of the intelligence community occasionally ran contrary to Mr. Trump’s preferred policy outcomes, stoking the president’s ire. At the annual Worldwide Threats hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee in January, Coats said North Korea would “seek to retain” its nuclear program, though the president had months ago declared it “no longer” posed a nuclear threat. He said Iran was continuing to abide by the terms of the nuclear deal from which president Trump had withdrawn the U.S. in 2018. Coats also said ISIS’ pervasive ideology meant it would continue to pose a threat, though the president had recently declared the terror group “defeated” and ordered the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria. After the January hearing, President Trump tweeted that “The Intelligence People” were “wrong” and should “go back to school.”
Coats created the Election Security position shortly before he stepped down from his position as DNI. He did this as the Ukrainian scandal started in the House. He also created a memo that was referred to in the IC IG report that was forwarded to Acting DNI Maguire that the Intel community will not release:
This "secret" Dan Coats memo is in the footnotes of ICIG Atkinson's letter to DNI Maguire which accompanied the whistleblower complaint. pic.twitter.com/CVBwcX14F7 — Ivan Pentchoukov (@IvanPentchoukov) October 9, 2019
The creation of the Election Security position occurred the day after President Trump called the Ukraine:
A source at the ODNI told me that the agency briefed the White House and Congress about the Election Threats Executive on July 10. Both the WH and Congress were tight-lipped. A source at the House Intelligence Committee could only confirm that the Cmte was briefed but not when. — Ivan Pentchoukov (@IvanPentchoukov) October 9, 2019
The person appointed to the Election Security position is Shelby Pierson. She was formally Senior Intelligence Officer for Denial and Deception:
Shelby Pierson is the Election Threats Executive, leading an interagency election security effort. Some describe the position as an "election security czar." Pierson is former CIA. At the CIA, she had a neat title—Senior Intelligence Officer for Denial & Deception. — Ivan Pentchoukov (@IvanPentchoukov) October 9, 2019
Shelby Pierson is the individual this past week who claimed erroneously that Russia was helping Trump to win the 2020 election.
She lied about this in her report.

Biden Claims Russian Bots Were Attacking Him On Facebook Former vice president Joe Biden on Sunday claimed that Russians have spent a “ lot of money ” on bots to go on Facebook and claim that “ Biden is a bad guy.

information on our investigation.
Unfortunately, there was misinformation immediately being put out that we have determined
Mr. Haney’s death to be a suicide. This is not the case. We are currently in the beginning
phase of our investigation and any final determination as to the cause and manner of Mr.
Haney’s death would be extremely premature and inappropriate. No determination will be made
until all evidence is examined and analyzed.
This investigation is still active and will be ongoing. No further details will be provided at this time.

Trump Flips 9th Circuit Court, Leftists In Panic Mode, Legacy Judges Violate Ethics To Complain To Media

Trump Flips 9th Circuit Court , Leftists In Panic Mode , Legacy Judges Violate Ethics To Complain To Media On February 12th , President Trump had his 189th , 190th , 191st , and 192nd judicial nominees confirmed by the senate .
51 of his judicial nominations have been for the federal appeals courts , and ten of those have been on the now-formerly heavy leftist 9th Circuit , where Trump has made 10 appointments in three years .
He has effectively flipped the 9th circuit from wackjob leftist to sane , and this has wackjob leftists worried .
Bigly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ federal circuit court judges are Trump appointees .
When President Trump ticks off his accomplishments since taking office , he frequently mentions his aggressive makeover of a key sector of the federal judiciary — the circuit courts of appeal , where he has appointed 51 judges to lifetime jobs in three years .
In few places has the effect been felt more powerfully than in the sprawling 9th Circuit , which covers California and eight other states .
Because of Trump ’ s success in filling vacancies , the San Francisco-based circuit , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suddenly shifted to the right , with an even more pronounced tilt expected in the years ahead .
Trump has now named 10 judges to the 9th Circuit — more than one-third of its active judges — compared with seven appointed by President Obama over eight years .
“ Trump has effectively flipped the circuit , ” said 9th Circuit Judge Milan D. Smith Jr. , an appointee of President George W. Bush .
“ Ten new people at once sends a shock wave through the system , ” a 9th Circuit judge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the most consternation is Judge Daniel P. Collins , a former federal prosecutor and partner of a prestigious law firm .
Some judges said that in the early months of his tenure , Collins has appeared oblivious to court tradition .
He has sent memos at all times of the night in violation of a court rule and objected to other judges ’ rulings in language that some colleagues found combative , they said .
Collins also moved quickly to challenge rulings by his new colleagues , calling for review of five decisions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the calls came before Collins even had been assigned to his first panel , judges said .
Democratic appointees still make up the majority of active judges — 16 to 13 .
But the court also has judges on “ senior status ” who continue to sit on panels that decide cases .
Senior status rank gives judges more flexibility but allows them to continue to work , even full time .
Of the senior judges who will be deciding cases on “ merits ” panels — reading briefs and issuing rulings — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democratic appointees , Smith said .
“ You will see a sea change in the 9th Circuit on day-to-day decisions , ” Smith predicted .
The biggest change will come in controversial cases that test the constitutionality of laws and the legal ability of presidents to establish contentious new rules .
The 9th Circuit is weighing challenges to Trump on a wide array of issues , from immigration to reproductive rights , and the rightward tilt is likely to make it easier for the president to prevail .
Though conservative , the Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ monolithic .
Two Trump appointees — Bade , a former federal court magistrate , and Mark J. Bennett , a former attorney general of Hawaii — are regarded by their colleagues as experienced and collegial .
Trump appointee Eric D. Miller also has drawn positive reviews from both Democratic and Republican appointees .
Before his appointment , Miller headed up the appellate division of a major law firm .
“ I think he will be a good judge , ” a 9th Circuit veteran said .
The 9th Circuit court has been dominated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1978 , a federal law created 10 new judgeships on the court , allowing President Carter to fill them all .
The liberal Carter appointees were followed by judges named by three Republican presidents and two Democrats .
Clinton ’ s and Obama ’ s appointees were not uniformly liberal , however , and the 9th Circuit has been growing more moderate .
One study , examining the years 2010 to 2015 , found that the 9th Circuit was the third most reversed by the Supreme Court , following the Ohio-based 6th and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democratic nominees heavily outnumbering Republicans , there were usually enough votes to overturn conservative decisions by three-judge panels .
Smith predicted the full effect of the Trump appointees won ’ t be seen until 2021 , when they will be carrying full caseloads .
But even now Democratic appointees are likely to be more reluctant to ask for 11-judge panels to review conservative decisions because the larger en banc panels , chosen randomly , might be dominated by Republicans , judges said .
Hold on , sitting judges are speaking to media , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Turns out they are violating their own ethical standards by doing that !
Last September , “ sources familiar with the private Supreme Court deliberations ” talked to CNN about the Census Case .
It was not clear who spoke to the media .
Was it one or more Justices ?
Law clerks ?
Court staff ?
People who were in touch with the Justices or law clerks ?
These leaks were troubling .
Confidential deliberations should remain confidential–especially when press reports paint some members of the Court in an unfavorable light @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there have been new rounds of rumors about leaks in the Title VII SOGI cases .
This problem , regrettably , is not limited to the Supreme Court .
On Saturday , Maura Dolan of the L.A. Times interviewed “ several judges on the 9th Circuit ” about the impact of President Trump ’ s new nominees .
Dolan noted that “ some ” of the judges “ declined to discuss their colleagues or inner deliberations.
” That “ some ” should have been “ all.
” Why would any judges discuss @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ internal deliberations ” ?
Alas , some judges “ refused to be quoted by name , saying they were not authorized to speak about what goes on behind the scenes.
” In other words they spoke on background , not for attribution .
Judges can not speak on background .
Ever .
Generally , when a source says , “ I am not authorized to speak publicly , ” that statement suggests that , given the proper authorization , she could speak publicly .
But judges can never speak publicly about internal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by any superior authority .
Shame on those judges who spoke on background to the press .
Reason specifically called out Judges Milan D. Smith and Kim McLane Wardlaw , who went on record with the media to complain about Trump ’ s appointees .
Meanwhile , the crazed leftists at Vox fan the flames of fear over these judicial appointments : And that ’ s what scares the left the most .
Trump ’ s judges are competent and qualified litigators who will be on benches for years opposing wacked out leftist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vague on purpose by state legislators and US lawmakers , it ’ s left to the courts to interpret the laws .

On February 12th, President Trump had his 189th, 190th, 191st, and 192nd judicial nominees confirmed by the senate. 51 of his judicial nominations have been for the federal appeals courts, and ten of those have been on the now-formerly heavy leftist 9th Circuit, where Trump has made 10 appointments in three years. He has effectively flipped the 9th circuit from wackjob leftist to sane, and this has wackjob leftists worried. Bigly.
Townhall notes that 1/4 of all federal circuit court judges are Trump appointees.
The LA Times whines:
When President Trump ticks off his accomplishments since taking office, he frequently mentions his aggressive makeover of a key sector of the federal judiciary — the circuit courts of appeal, where he has appointed 51 judges to lifetime jobs in three years.
In few places has the effect been felt more powerfully than in the sprawling 9th Circuit, which covers California and eight other states. Because of Trump’s success in filling vacancies, the San Francisco-based circuit, long dominated by Democratic appointees, has suddenly shifted to the right, with an even more pronounced tilt expected in the years ahead.
Trump has now named 10 judges to the 9th Circuit — more than one-third of its active judges — compared with seven appointed by President Obama over eight years.
“Trump has effectively flipped the circuit,” said 9th Circuit Judge Milan D. Smith Jr., an appointee of President George W. Bush.
“Ten new people at once sends a shock wave through the system,” a 9th Circuit judge said.
Among those who have caused the most consternation is Judge Daniel P. Collins, a former federal prosecutor and partner of a prestigious law firm.
Some judges said that in the early months of his tenure, Collins has appeared oblivious to court tradition. He has sent memos at all times of the night in violation of a court rule and objected to other judges’ rulings in language that some colleagues found combative, they said.
Collins also moved quickly to challenge rulings by his new colleagues, calling for review of five decisions by three-judge panels, and some of the calls came before Collins even had been assigned to his first panel, judges said.
Democratic appointees still make up the majority of active judges — 16 to 13. But the court also has judges on “senior status” who continue to sit on panels that decide cases. Senior status rank gives judges more flexibility but allows them to continue to work, even full time.
Of the senior judges who will be deciding cases on “merits” panels — reading briefs and issuing rulings — 10 are Republicans and only three are Democratic appointees, Smith said.
“You will see a sea change in the 9th Circuit on day-to-day decisions,” Smith predicted.
The biggest change will come in controversial cases that test the constitutionality of laws and the legal ability of presidents to establish contentious new rules. The 9th Circuit is weighing challenges to Trump on a wide array of issues, from immigration to reproductive rights, and the rightward tilt is likely to make it easier for the president to prevail.
Though conservative, the Trump appointees to the 9th Circuit are not monolithic. Two Trump appointees — Bade, a former federal court magistrate, and Mark J. Bennett, a former attorney general of Hawaii — are regarded by their colleagues as experienced and collegial.
Trump appointee Eric D. Miller also has drawn positive reviews from both Democratic and Republican appointees. Before his appointment, Miller headed up the appellate division of a major law firm.
“I think he will be a good judge,” a 9th Circuit veteran said.
The 9th Circuit court has been dominated by Democratic appointees for decades. In 1978, a federal law created 10 new judgeships on the court, allowing President Carter to fill them all. The liberal Carter appointees were followed by judges named by three Republican presidents and two Democrats.
Clinton’s and Obama’s appointees were not uniformly liberal, however, and the 9th Circuit has been growing more moderate. One study, examining the years 2010 to 2015, found that the 9th Circuit was the third most reversed by the Supreme Court, following the Ohio-based 6th and Georgia-based 11th circuits.
Still, with Democratic nominees heavily outnumbering Republicans, there were usually enough votes to overturn conservative decisions by three-judge panels.
Smith predicted the full effect of the Trump appointees won’t be seen until 2021, when they will be carrying full caseloads.
But even now Democratic appointees are likely to be more reluctant to ask for 11-judge panels to review conservative decisions because the larger en banc panels, chosen randomly, might be dominated by Republicans, judges said.

JOHN SOLOMON: Newly Declassified FBI Memos Directly Conflict with Mueller Team Claims in Papadopoulos Sentencing Memo

Newly declassified FBI memos contradict court filings Mueller ’ s prosecutors made in asking a judge to send George Papadopoulos to prison .
George Papadopoulos was a former Trump campaign foreign policy advisor who was targeted by Deep State spies and ultimately indicted and imprisoned by Mueller ’ s thugs for “ making false statements and omissions ” to the feds .
The FBI memos released under FOIA , put the focus on Aaron Zelinsky who recently resigned after Bill Barr smacked him down for recommending Roger Stone serve 7 to 9 years in prison .
Zelinsky ‘ resigned in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a rare move , refiled the Roger Stone sentencing memo he signed — and Judge Amy Berman Jackson ultimately agreed with Bill Barr that 7 to 9 years was an excessive and harsh sentence for Roger Stone .
Zelinsky was also one of Mueller ’ s prosecutors who signed the sentencing memo seeking prison time for George Papadopoulos .
Zelinsky and two other prosecutors argued that Papadopoulos lied in order to hinder the feds ’ ability in February 2017 to question and or arrest a Maltese professor named Joseph Mifsud .
But what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Papadopoulos sentencing memo directly contradicts what Papadopoulos actually told the feds in newly released FBI memos , according to award winning investigative journalist John Solomon .
According to the sentencing memo signed by Zelinsky and fellow Mueller prosecutors Jeannie Rhee and Andrew Goldstein : Papadopoulos ’ “ lies undermined investigators ’ ability to challenge the Professor or potentially detain or arrest him while he was still in the United States .
The government understands that the Professor left the United States on February 11 , 2017 and he has not returned to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ //www.justice.gov/file/1007346/download added as link .
But FBI 302 reports detailing agents ’ interviews with Papadopoulos show that he had in fact supplied information that would have enabled investigators to challenge or potentially detain or arrest Mifsud while he was in the United States .
Papadopoulos , a former volunteer foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign , told agents during an interview on Feb. 10 , 2017 that he “ inquired to Mifsud about how he knew the Russians had [ Clinton ’ s ] emails , to which Mifsud strangely chuckled and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have them.
’ ” According to the Mueller Report , in an interview with the FBI on the same day , Feb. 10 , Mifsud “ denied that he had advance knowledge that Russia was in possession of emails damaging to candidate Clinton.
” Mifsud did not leave Washington until the next day , Feb. 11 .
Papadopoulos ’ information should have enabled investigators to confront Mifsud with conflicting testimony on a point of critical importance to the stated purpose of the Russia collusion investigation before the professor ’ s departure .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mueller ’ s original statement of offense , or plea agreement , filed Oct. 5 , 2017 nor its later sentencing recommendation .
In contrast , those documents portray Papadopoulos as trying to thwart the investigation .
According to Mueller ’ s prosecutors ’ August 2018 sentencing memo , “ the defendant ’ s false statements were intended to harm the investigation , and did so.
” Papadopoulos ’ “ lies negatively affected the FBI ’ s Russia investigation , ” they argued , “ and prevented the FBI from effectively identifying and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The FBI memos however , show Papadopoulos engaging and showing willingness to cooperate and help the feds locate Mifsud .
Papadopoulos told the FBI that Mifsud reached out to him via email on February 10 , 2017 and told him he was in Washington , DC — this was completely omitted from the sentencing memo .
None of Mueller ’ s indictments implicated any underlying crime .
Every indictment stemmed from a process crime that derived from Mueller ’ s witch hunt .
In other words , Mueller ’ s witch hunt created @ @ @ @ @ @ @ underlying crime and the prosecutors lied and omitted information in order to put Trump ’ s associates in prison .

According to Mueller’s prosecutors’ August 2018 sentencing memo, “the defendant’s false statements were intended to harm the investigation, and did so.” Papadopoulos’ “lies negatively affected the FBI’s Russia investigation,” they argued, “and prevented the FBI from effectively identifying and confronting witnesses in a timely fashion.”
The FBI memos however, show Papadopoulos engaging and showing willingness to cooperate and help the feds locate Mifsud.
Papadopoulos told the FBI that Mifsud reached out to him via email on February 10, 2017 and told him he was in Washington, DC — this was completely omitted from the sentencing memo.
None of Mueller’s indictments implicated any underlying crime. Every indictment stemmed from a process crime that derived from Mueller’s witch hunt.
In other words, Mueller’s witch hunt created all the crimes since there was no underlying crime and the prosecutors lied and omitted information in order to put Trump’s associates in prison.

We Build The Wall Inc .
Needs Your Help To Secure ‘ Most Exploited Gap On The Border ’ Congressional Democrats , who are determined to keep America ’ s borders open for an influx of cheap labor to enrich the nation ’ s elite and create new generations of Democratic voters , rejected President Donald Trump ’ s border wall .
They said it couldn ’ t be done .

They said it was racist and immoral .
As leftist politicians stubbornly clung to open-borders fantasies , refusing to appropriate funding for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ realized We The People can build the security barrier ourselves .

Last year , over Memorial Day weekend , WBC and Fisher Industries constructed a three-quarter-mile long wall on private property in the El Paso Sector of the border in Sunland Park , New Mexico , where approximately 2,500 migrants were illegally crossing the border annually , according to El Paso Sector Border Patrol officials .
In January , the Fisher Industries and the crowdfunded non-profit completed its second project , a three-mile-long wall in Mission , Texas , in record time – less than a month – on private property along the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Wall Inc. has pinpointed the next project in its lineup , “ one of the most exploited gaps on the border.

But only if with your help , at WeBuildTheWall.Us.
” MORE EFFICIENT , DURABLE THAN THE GOVERNMENT ’ S WALL Ahead of the 2020 presidential election , President Trump is doubling down on his effort to fulfilling his signature 2016 campaign promise to building the border wall .
As of February 24 , 110 miles have been completed and 192 miles are under construction .
The president has set a 450-mile goal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 509-mile goal by 2021 .
Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are trying to prevent this wall from being built , but the American people can help Trump get the job done by supporting We Build The Wall , Kolfage argued .
“ The privately constructed border is which is more durable than the government wall and can be built at a cheaper and faster pace , ” he said .
“ Unlike the wall being constructed by the government , the wall built by WBW and Fisher Industries is comprised of galvanized rustproof @ @ @ @ @ @ @ span of up to 100 years .
The federal wall has a lifespan of 20 years before it will become weathered by rust.
” While many would like the see a 30 foot or 100-foot wall , WBW determined constructing the wall 18 feet high is the best way to maximize resources and deter against invasion – the taller you build it the wall , more expensive it becomes .
The walls are also deeply installed below the ground , however , WBW has not disclosed how deep the wall extends underground to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entering the country in the future .
BORDER PATROL IS GRATEFUL , THE WALL MAKES THEIR JOB EASIER Prior to the walls built in El Paso and Mission Texas , infrastructure that includes aerial surveillance , and motion sensor technology , migrants would simply swim across the Rio Grande from Mexico , scramble into reeds and brush that run along the river and wait and hide for the opportunity to run into farmland surrounding the river and run into America .
WBW cleaned up all the reeds and brush surrounding the riverbank and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lit at night , giving border patrol an advantage in deterring migrants from getting across .
Now , border patrol can see all the way down the riverbank and no longer have to trudge through the marsh to catch the migrants coming in illegally .
During his first trip to the southern border in November , acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf visited the site of WBW ’ s privately constructed wall and fully endorsed the organization .
The influx of illegal traffic has now shifted around the wall to regions where agents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the nonprofit completed its first new barrier , El Paso Border Patrol sector chief Gloria Chavez told reporters .
“ Everything changed for us , and we were able to manage the border enforcement actions there even better , ” Chavez said .
Every American who supports wall construction plays a role in eradicating child sex trafficking and human trafficking .
As President Trump has noted , “ Human trafficking by airplane is almost impossible .
Human trafficking by van and truck , in the backseat of a car , and going through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for miles and miles , and there ’ s no wall to protect — it ’ s very easy .
“ According to Michael Albence , acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement , ICE is facing a “ new area ” of human trafficking along the U.S. border , as children are increasingly being used to try to gain admission into the country .
“ Children that are being utilized and sold and rented in Central America and Mexico ; given to unrelated adults for the sole purpose of them coming into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family … to try to be released , ” Albence told Breitbart News .
“ We know children are being sent back three , four , five times to Central America only to be re-victimized and brought back in , and God knows what they ’ re suffering as they ’ re going through that process.
” During FY 2019 , USBP reportedly processed more than 321,000 alien children on the Southwest border .
“ A barrier made of steel , obviously , deters human trafficking and drugs .
Yes , if you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get up there , ” Kolfage said .
“ But the likelihood of getting caught is much higher when there is a wall there , then when there is not –just like a wall on your house or locks on your doors.
” MEXICANS ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE WALL The flood of immigrants illegally crossing the border not only drives up crime and violence in American cities nationwide but also increases crime in Mexico .
While Democrats and the mainstream media attempt to galvanize the American public to believe the wall a “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this is not a racist border wall and they also want to stop human trafficking and people getting raped at the border , Kolfage explained .
“ People on the Mexican side , they actually like the wall too , ” he said .
“ The cartel crime plagues their cities as well .
Anyone that supports open borders , is simply supporting the cartels .
All of this doesn ’ t just help America it helps Mexico .
Securing the border helps Mexico decrease crime on that side and helps America decrease @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we ’ ve built the wall , ” he continued , “ the regions surrounding the new wall have now become tourist attractions , boosting the economy .
“ People feel safer knowing the once wide-open border is secured with an impenetrable wall .
Mexico is a beautiful country and most people that live in Mexico want to stay in Mexico .
Some people do want to come to America , that ’ s why we have an immigration system .

MORE EFFICIENT, DURABLE THAN THE GOVERNMENT’S WALL
Ahead of the 2020 presidential election, President Trump is doubling down on his effort to fulfilling his signature 2016 campaign promise to building the border wall. As of February 24, 110 miles have been completed and 192 miles are under construction. The president has set a 450-mile goal by the end of 2020 and a 509-mile goal by 2021.
Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are trying to prevent this wall from being built, but the American people can help Trump get the job done by supporting We Build The Wall, Kolfage argued.
“The privately constructed border is which is more durable than the government wall and can be built at a cheaper and faster pace,” he said. “Unlike the wall being constructed by the government, the wall built by WBW and Fisher Industries is comprised of galvanized rustproof, dustproof steel that has a life span of up to 100 years. The federal wall has a lifespan of 20 years before it will become weathered by rust.”
While many would like the see a 30 foot or 100-foot wall, WBW determined constructing the wall 18 feet high is the best way to maximize resources and deter against invasion – the taller you build it the wall, more expensive it becomes.
The walls are also deeply installed below the ground, however, WBW has not disclosed how deep the wall extends underground to deter people from digging burrows and illegally entering the country in the future.
BORDER PATROL IS GRATEFUL, THE WALL MAKES THEIR JOB EASIER
Prior to the walls built in El Paso and Mission Texas, infrastructure that includes aerial surveillance, and motion sensor technology, migrants would simply swim across the Rio Grande from Mexico, scramble into reeds and brush that run along the river and wait and hide for the opportunity to run into farmland surrounding the river and run into America.
WBW cleaned up all the reeds and brush surrounding the riverbank and built a concrete road that is entirely lit at night, giving border patrol an advantage in deterring migrants from getting across. Now, border patrol can see all the way down the riverbank and no longer have to trudge through the marsh to catch the migrants coming in illegally.
During his first trip to the southern border in November, acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf visited the site of WBW’s privately constructed wall and fully endorsed the organization.
The influx of illegal traffic has now shifted around the wall to regions where agents are equipped to respond more effectively after the nonprofit completed its first new barrier, El Paso Border Patrol sector chief Gloria Chavez told reporters.
“Everything changed for us, and we were able to manage the border enforcement actions there even better,” Chavez said.
DETERRING HUMAN TRAFFICKERS
Every American who supports wall construction plays a role in eradicating child sex trafficking and human trafficking.
As President Trump has noted, “Human trafficking by airplane is almost impossible. Human trafficking by van and truck, in the backseat of a car, and going through a border where there’s nobody for miles and miles, and there’s no wall to protect — it’s very easy. “
According to Michael Albence, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE is facing a “new area” of human trafficking along the U.S. border, as children are increasingly being used to try to gain admission into the country.
“Children that are being utilized and sold and rented in Central America and Mexico; given to unrelated adults for the sole purpose of them coming into the country illegally and posing as a family … to try to be released,” Albence told Breitbart News. “We know children are being sent back three, four, five times to Central America only to be re-victimized and brought back in, and God knows what they’re suffering as they’re going through that process.”
During FY 2019, USBP reportedly processed more than 321,000 alien children on the Southwest border.
“A barrier made of steel, obviously, deters human trafficking and drugs. Yes, if you add a 20-foot ladder, you could get up there,” Kolfage said. “But the likelihood of getting caught is much higher when there is a wall there, then when there is not –just like a wall on your house or locks on your doors.”
MEXICANS ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE WALL
The flood of immigrants illegally crossing the border not only drives up crime and violence in American cities nationwide but also increases crime in Mexico.
While Democrats and the mainstream media attempt to galvanize the American public to believe the wall a “symbol of hate,” Mexicans understand this is not a racist border wall and they also want to stop human trafficking and people getting raped at the border, Kolfage explained.
“People on the Mexican side, they actually like the wall too,” he said. “The cartel crime plagues their cities as well. Anyone that supports open borders, is simply supporting the cartels. All of this doesn’t just help America it helps Mexico. Securing the border helps Mexico decrease crime on that side and helps America decrease crime on this side.
“Since we’ve built the wall,” he continued, “the regions surrounding the new wall have now become tourist attractions, boosting the economy.

The State Department memo: In one extraordinary incident last year, President Trump passed along another action memo to his then-head of presidential personnel, Sean Doocey (since pushed to State and replaced with former body man John McEntee). People familiar with the January 2019 memo say it came from conservatives associated with Groundswell. Though nobody I’ve spoken to has claimed credit for it. According to sources briefed on the incident, the memo was, in large part, an attack against Doocey. The memo accused him and a colleague in the State Department of obstructionism and named several State Department officials who needed to be fired. This list named former deputy secretary John Sullivan, deputy undersecretary for management Bill Todd, and undersecretary for political affairs David Hale, who later testified in the impeachment hearings. (Todd and Hale are career foreign service officers, serving in positions typically reserved for career officials.) Sullivan is now the U.S. Ambassador to Russia.
