Make no mistake: China wouldn't be anywhere near the negotiating table right now were it not for our tariffs.

That's precisely the message President… Read more »
On illegal immigration, there’s both good and bad news as the federal government closed out its fiscal year (FY19) last Monday, Sept. 30th.
Bad news first. Over 850,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended along the southern border during FY19, which is the largest number in the last 12 years. (Remember: apprehensions are simply the number of illegal immigrants that are… Read more »

As your children sleep, imagine whispering "Goodbye" and "I love you" to them, having no idea if they'll see you again. Then imagine voluntarily setting off on foot, under the cover of darkness with nothing but the clothes on your back.
