"Trump is set to BAN people from Syria and six other 'dangerous' Muslim countries from entering America by signing executive orders

President Trump's executive orders are expected to temporarily close US borders to most refugees

Trump also set to sign executive order pertaining to his campaign pledge to build a wall along the American border with Mexico

Trump to 'ban immigrants from Syria and 6 other countries' | Daily Mail Online

I know he signed an order to look into it; but does not Congress still have to approve the funding for same?

Yup. All this stuff he is spewing is just lip service. It has to be funded, and then contracts have to be let. Before we can let the contracts, we have to get Trump out of business to we can ensure that he isn't the bidder on our Federal Contracts. We're working on that

there is an approval on the books- funding that's another issue for more money--- or withholding funds- as I stated in that post... up to the puppets in congress- they don't give a shyte about anything but their investments.

The hysterical left dwindles in size as people become more informed.
Your alternative whiny-baby neocon reality causes you to think Trump lemmings outnumber actual thinking humans. They don't.

What Drumpf knows about the Constitution wouldn't fill a thimble. He cares about it even less.

All that matters to him is his ego and fleecing saps through fraud and cons. Fortunately for him, there are plenty of saps and dupes around, because other than being a blowhard coward and serial philanderer, that's all he's got.

Sorry, not the way it works.

Mexico will pay in ways they have little or no control over, no matter how much Liberals and El Presidente stomp their feet.
You people seem to forget that the president is not the end all and be all of our governmental system.

The Great Wall of China and Hadrian's Wall were symbolic only. They didn't keep out any invaders. The latter is so low, it could be hurdled by an athletic person. Trump's monstrosity would be the most obscene waste of resources in our history and the only symbolism it would carry for those by-passing it, would be about how ineffective we were at doing things. The only way that illegal immigration will be curtailed, will be for employers in this country to stop giving them jobs and exploiting them for their own profits.

Another wall funding method for Trump would be to confiscate the proceeds, property and taxes paid from all these states allowing illegal marijuana growing. It is against federal law. Obama looked the other way. Trump can come down hard and get hundreds of millions for our wall.

Then we need to end birthright citizenship for their kids also as they are another source of income for them. By the way, criminals and terrorists aren't looking for jobs, thus the wall. Do I need to post those links yet again how the double wall on our southern border where it is already erected does work?
