I would also point out that in the case of the 2003 Iraq invasion, Saddam Hussein'ss vice president Tariq Azziz, when captured and interviewed by 60 Minutes, said that even when W. Bush was assembling all those U.S. troops on the Saudi border, and giving Saddam warnign after warning to comply and then to leave Iraq, Saddam and Azziz thought it was an elaborate bluff and Bush would never invade.

So... you don't know what Trump or his cabinet's intentions are. It could be an elaborate head-fake. It could be an actual plan. It could be a head-fake with the potential to actually be enacted. Or a diversion for another different approach. Either way, I trust Trump to do everything he can to secure the border, and I trust the Democrats about as far as I can throw a piano.

The mere threat of securing the border was doen and over when Trump came to office. But Democrat obstruction turned the magnets back on and encouraged the worst wave of illegals we have seen. And that is coming from interviews of Border Guard officers and officials who have been patrolling the border for 30-plus years. I see interviews of Border Guard, ICE, and DHS, from administrators to the frontline officers, as well as police from counties nationwide, especially the illegal-inundated counties, and they ALL support Trump!
Former DHS leader Thomas Homan has worked to secure the border through 6 presidential administrations, and none has been as committed to actually securing the border as Donald Trump, who he obviously supports.
Fact.
Those who understand the situation ALL support what Trump is doing.
