Apparently Paul Ryan called Trump on the phone yesterday to beg him to stop talking about the migrant caravan that’s headed to the US Mexico border:
NY POST – House Speaker Paul Ryan pleaded with President Trump in a phone call to tout the booming economy rather than continue attacking the migrant caravan in Mexico in the final days before Tuesday’s midterm elections, according to a report Monday.
The Wisconsin Republican reached out to Trump on Sunday and urged him to change his message, but the president said his focus on immigration is firing up his supporters, Politico reported.
“Trump has hijacked the election,” a senior House Republican aide told Politico about Trump’s attention to immigration. “This is not what we expected the final weeks of the election to focus on.”
I honestly don’t see the big problem with Trump talking about it. Immigration is a big deal and we want our president to protect American and force outsiders to come in the proper way.
Also, it’s not his fault the migrant invasion mobs are heading for our border. Trump wasn’t the one who organized it. But he’ll be the one to do something about it when they get here and I’m very glad for that.
And Trump is also right that it does fire up the base. Nobody wants to see these Honduran migrants cross our border illegally in order to come into our country. But that’s exactly what would happen if Obama were still in office.
Here’s an interesting video showing troops putting up barbed wire fencing to help protect the border from these caravan invaders:
