Hypocritical: DNC Builds A Wall For Security

Published

on

On the final night of the Democratic National Convention, former Vice President Joe Biden took the stage in Delaware to virtually accept his nomination for the presidency. Supporters and opponents outside the venue were separated by a large wall-like fence. After years of mocking President Trump for building a wall on the nation’s southern border, the Democrats seem to recognize the utility of protection by a wall.

As reported by Breitbart, the DNC set up a wall to organize and protect supporters in one area outside the Chase Center in Wilmington, Delaware, where Biden gave his remarks.

The tall fence can be seen clearly in this video.

Breitbart also noted that the candidate being protected by this wall has said, “There will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration.”

Canada Beefs up Border Security After Trump Threatened Sweeping Tariffs

Published

on

In November, president-elect Donald Trump announced on social media that he would impose a 25% tariff on all products from Canada and Mexico if they do not take an active role in containing illegal immigration as well as the level of illicit drugs entering into the United States.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with Trump at his residence in Mar-a-Lago, after which the Canadian government vowed to secure the border. “We got, I think, a mutual understanding of what they’re concerned about in terms of border security,” Minister of Public Safety Dominic LeBlanc, who accompanied Trudeau at Mar-a-Largo, said of the meeting in an interview with Canadian media. “All of their concerns are shared by Canadians and by the government of Canada.”

“We talked about the security posture currently at the border that we believe to be effective, and we also discussed additional measures and visible measures that we’re going to put in place over the coming weeks,” LeBlanc continued. “And we also established, Rosemary, a personal series of rapport that I think will continue to allow us to make that case.”

The Daily Caller News Foundation reports the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is preparing to beef up its immigration enforcement capabilities by hiring more staff, adding more vehicles and creating more processing facilities, in the chance that there is an immigration surge sparked by Trump’s presidential election victory. The moves are a change in direction from Trudeau’s public declaration in January 2017 that Canada was a “welcoming” country and that “diversity is our strength” just days after Trump was sworn into office the first time.

The Daily Caller notes the differences in response from the Canadian government verses Mexico’s:

Trudeau’s recent overtures largely differ from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who has indicated she is not willing to bend the knee to Trump’s tariff threats. The Mexican leader in November said “there will be a response in kind” to any tariff levied on Mexican goods going into the U.S., and she appeared to deny the president-elect’s claims that she agreed to do more to beef up border security in a recent phone call.
