BERTRAND DAILY REPORT 02/15/2019 DEMOCRATS FLATLY REFUSE TO CONSIDER THE SAFETY OF AMERICAN CITIZENS

BERTRAND DAILY REPORT  The War For Your Mind & Soul Continues 

Subject: Call To Duty For Americans to Secure the Border, Dems Just Tied Trump's Hands--Videos 

Friends and Associates:

President Trump is expected to sign the Dem's approved budget deal, even though there are many negative flaws in the bill.

Trump is between a rock and a wall over a stupid bill that ONLY gives him $1.375 Billion towards the wall, when he could tell the Dems to take a hike, shutdown the government, declare a National Emergency and net approximately $8 billion for the Wall anyway !

Why is he being coerced into a bill that is filled with pro-illegal immigration law that ties the hands of U.S. Border Patrol and I.C.E.?

The House intends to take Trump's National Emergency to the 9th Circuit Court anyway, but legal scholars say the 9th Circuit cannot and probably will not give remedy to the Dems and stop Trump, but that sure as hell remains to be seen, as the 9th Circuit Court is 100% in the bag for Dems.

If the 9th Circuit declares an injunction, they will lose in an Appeal...according to Jonathon Turley, Professor at George Washington University.

The Dems only option [will be] to show the court that a victim has 'Standing' and that WILL come when the Dems, with the help of Socialist  Beto O'Rourke (D-TX), troll the border for a sympathetic rancher that does NOT want a fence or wall on his property bordering with Mexico. What happen to 'Right-a-Ways?'

The selected rancher can't tell border patrol agents they cannot sit on his property or transit his property along the border, so what rancher has land with the Mexican border?

Arizona Border Ranchers Torn in Support for Trump's Wall


As far as I can research, the only one's that will raise a major complaint with a border wall are the Tohono O'odham Nation in Arizona where Native Americans transit back and forth across the border, as their perceived (privilege) to see relatives(?) on both sides of the border. One particular Native American rancher has a ranch with the border passing through his property with no fence, just a marker. It's a dilemma that has very little solution(s). Note: Every night illegal aliens and drug smugglers use the native land to transit into the United States. There are those on the Tohono O'odham that aid and abet drug and human trafficking....

At US-Mexico border, a tribal nation fights wall that would divide them

Under the National Emergency, Trump has the authority to seize property and build the wall, but certain "poison pills" in the bill specifically restricts the president from building a wall on certain designated sections along the Rio Grande.

It's a very bad bill and many on the Right don't want him to sign the bill this morning and want him to declare the National Emergency.

The biggest problem Trump would face with another government shutdown, are the millions that will not receive a paycheck, and a shutdown this time could last a very long time....that problem alone would destroy Trump's 2020 re-election.

The battle over securing the border (PROPERLY) will continue to be a major headache for the Trump Administration as the Pelosi Gang move-in with the big squeeze.

However, WE have seen Trump prevail and there is no doubt he has an 'ace card' up his sleeve and is not going to go off into the sunset without a fight.

Depending on how this border saga plays-out, there will be a time again soon when private Americans will have to organize along the border as (WE) did from 2005 thru 2010 with a force of citizens from Texas to California that caused extreme pressure on both the Bush and Obama administrations to (1) hire thousands of new USBP agents, (2) additional cameras and sensors on towers, and (3) the additional building of walls we now have.

It worked then, it will have to work again. When the people come-out in force, government has to react. I can also assure those that organize along the border....USBP leadership in Washington hate it, but the majority of boots-on-the-ground loved us. We made their job much easier as the "extra eyes and ears" on the border.

Americans have the Right and the Duty to protect the border when elected government refuses....it's well written in the 2nd amendment, "defending the United States against enemies foreign and domestic."

Armed citizens patrol the Arizona-Mexico border (ALERT: Truth and Propaganda)


Along with maintaining a vigilance along the border for illegal aliens, drug mules, and terrorists, the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC) saved hundreds of lives. The time is ripe for a new push by Americans to help secure our border. Trump needs Americans to NOW get involved....

DISASTER: 5 Reasons Trump Should Not Sign Massively Flawed Omnibus Bill

The Daily Wire's Josh Hammer writes that "Trump knows, notwithstanding the fact this amnesty capitulation reveals the shallowness of this White House's alleged commitment to enacting its immigration priorities, that he will be able to fire off a few tweets blaming Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and thereby keep his base mostly in line."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced on Thursday that Trump intended to sign the bill and declare a national emergency at the same time, to which Hammer adds: "Even outside an emergency declaration, the President can also simultaneously invoke authority, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 284, to build already-authorized fencing in order to combat the transnational cartels' drug trafficking."

Five provisions in the bill, as noted by Conservative Review, provide sufficient reason for Trump to veto the bill.
A key provision in the spending bill being presented to President Trump for signing stipulates that the federal government give specific Texas border counties the opportunity to derail any efforts to build barriers, fencing, or walls by simply opposing the construction of the border security measures–but many of the specified counties have a long and recent history of top officials taking bribes from the Mexican Gulf Cartel. Ultimately, the bill allows county offices with historic ties to the Gulf Cartel to stop U.S. border barriers from being constructed in the region.

Local government officials spoke out against the building of additional border barriers and have relied on the judgment of local law enforcement officials. As Breitbart News reported, the bill being presented to President Trump has a stipulation that would require the approval of local governments in order to move forward with the construction of any border barriers. However, the three counties where the border barriers were expected to be built are Starr, Hidalgo, and Cameron–three counties that in the less than 20 years have seen five sheriffs and numerous top law enforcement officials sent to prison for receiving bribes from the Mexican Gulf Cartel, or other acts of public corruption.

One measure within the bill would prohibit DHS from detaining or deporting a sponsor, potential sponsor, or household member of an unaccompanied minor based on information shared with HHS.
The exemption does not apply to sponsors with felony convictions or charges. Similarly, it does not apply to people linked to businesses that employ minors for less than a legal wage, or that involve prostitution.

Democrats have pushed for such protections to ensure that sponsors who step forward to claim unaccompanied children will not face the threat of arrest and deportation, but immigration hawks say it’s a free pass for undocumented immigrants.

Jessica Vaughan, a policy director with the restrictionist Center for Immigration Studies, said in a tweet Thursday morning that the provision amounted to “de facto sanctuary for anyone near" an unaccompanied minor.

Unbelievably, the bill also provides largely Left-leaning local public officials in Texas's Rio Grande Valley with unilateral vetoes over the meager amounts of wall funding that the bill even authorizes. Section 232(a) of this bill states that "prior to use of any funds made available by this Act for the construction of physical barriers," the Department of Homeland Security "shall confer and seek to reach mutual agreement regarding the design and alignment of physical barriers within that city." The bill then specifies that it is "local elected officials" with whom the Department of Homeland Security must consult. Crucially, the bill actually only authorizes fencing for the Customs and Border Protection-designated Rio Grande Valley sector. But the Texas border counties in the Rio Grande Valley sector are generally heavily Democrat-leaning; as Daniel Horowitz laments, "These are the most liberal counties on the border (thanks to demographics of open borders itself!), and there is practically no local official who supports the wall in these counties."

Trump originally demanded $25 billion for the wall. Then he negotiated himself down to $5.6 billion. Democrats balked and only agreed to $1.6 billion. This bill calls it a day at $1.375 billion, enough to construct 55 miles. But it’s worse than that. This bill limits the president’s ability to construct “barriers” to just the Rio Grande Valley sector and only bollard fencing, not concrete walls of any kind. There’s no ability to adapt. Furthermore, section 231 prohibits construction even within the RGV in five locations that are either federal or state lands. Remember, the challenge with building a wall in Texas is that, unlike in other states, the feds need to navigate issues with private lands. The first place you’d construct fencing is on public lands, which are now prohibited. The national parks along the border have gotten so bad that park rangers are scared to travel alone in them.

5. The Bill Does Not Provide Funding For Needed Hires At ICE And CBP, Limits Detention Ability:
Fox News reports:
But in an attempt to pressure the agency to detain fewer illegal immigrants, Democrats ensured that the bill did not include funding for the 2,000 additional ICE agents requested by the Trump administration, or the 750 Border Patrol agents that were also sought.

CNN reports:
The bill includes funding for an average 45,274 detentions beds per day, with the intent to return to 40,520 by the end of the fiscal year, which is the level funded in the last fiscal year, but short of the administration's request of 52,000 detention beds.
