Dan Crenshaw’s Thread Is The PERFECT Companion To Trump’s National Address

Like Americans all around the country, most of us watched President Trump’s address (and Chuck and Nancy’s ridiculous rebuttal) tonight.

Shortly after tuning in, I stumbled across this.

While it was meant to be read BEFORE the address… I think it’s JUST as important now.

Tonight, the President will be speaking on border security. Some things to keep in mind:

1) The problems on the border need to be addressed. 400,000 illegal aliens being apprehended per year while crossing an open border is completely unsustainable.

ANYONE who understands this is just REFUSING to. It’s pretty freaking simple.

2) The problem must be solved in a multi-faceted way. Physical barriers are a necessary part of that solution. Just ask the migrant caravan when they arrived in Tijuana, where the wall prevented them from overrunning our border agents. Walls mitigate movement. Period.

PERIOD.

3) Walls are necessary, but of course we recognize that they aren’t the only solution. Some places require different methods, as the President’s plan recognizes. Drones, sensors, more patrols, etc. It all works together, and physical barriers are a part of that.

And they ALL require funding.

4) A wall in one location frees up manpower resources in another. This is important when understanding why we are okay with building in some areas and waiting on others.

5) Dismissing a wall or fence as an “ineffective” or “4th century” solution is an attempt to undermine the plan without providing any logical reasoning. Don’t succumb to lazy arguments. Let’s think this through, and reopen the government with adequate funding for border security.

Yes, yes, YES to ALL of this.
