Wednesday
Had a great meeting with the House GOP last night at the Capitol. They applauded and laughed loudly when I mentioned my experience with Mark Sanford. I have never been a fan of his!

House Republicans had front row seats to @POTUS’s dazzling display of pettiness and insecurity. Nobody applauded or laughed. People were disgusted. https://t.co/FvmDCxElgv

Business Insider reported some boos could be heard, but overall the reports coming from inside the closed door meeting, report mostly an awkward silence and blank stares at the president’s “joke.”
Rep Mark Sanford (R-SC) spoke with CNN’s Jake Tapper about the slight his full interview is posted below.
Tapper: President Trump mocked you to your peers, how do you respond to that?
Sanford: You don’t.

We shouldn’t be hiring judges by the thousands, as our ridiculous immigration laws demand, we should be changing our laws, building the Wall, hire Border Agents and Ice and not let people come into our country based on the legal phrase they are told to say as their password.

Cornell Law: 25th Admen to the United States Constitution

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
The Border has been a big mess and problem for many years. At some point Schumer and Pelosi, who are weak on Crime and Border security, will be forced to do a real deal, so easy, that solves this long time problem. Schumer used to want Border security – now he’ll take Crime!

I will be going the Columbia, South Carolina, on Monday night to do a campaign speech for one of my very early supporters, a man who truly loves the people of South Carolina, Governor Henry McMaster. Henry worked so hard & was so loyal to me that I look forward to reciprocating!

What is the purpose of the House doing good immigration bills when you need 9 votes by Democrats in the Senate, and the Dems are only looking to Obstruct (which they feel is good for them in the Mid-Terms). Republicans must get rid of the stupid Filibuster Rule-it is killing you!

The Republicans in the house had two immigration bills, one hard line bill introduced by Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), that has been defeated, The Hill reports the bill failed, 193-231. The more moderate compromise bill that was backed by House leadership, that was also expected to receive a vote today has been delayed until Friday.
President Trump had expressed his approval for both bills last week.
Henry McMaster has done a great job as Governor of South Carolina. The state is BOOMING, with jobs and new industry setting records. He is tough on Crime and Strong on Borders, Healthcare, the Military and our great Vets. Henry has my full and complete Endrosement! #MAGA

Henry McMaster is currently the Governor of South Carolina having taken over after Nikki Haley left to become Ambassador to the U.N.
Democrats want open Borders, where anyone can come into our Country, and stay. This is Nancy Pelosi’s dream. It won’t happen!

The last major change to immigration laws happened in 1986, Ronald Reagan was President, the Republicans controlled the House and the democrats controlled the Senate.
In 1996, 2002, 2006, subsequent laws were changed in response to concern over terrorist attacks.
In 2012 President Obama signed an EA (executive action) known as DACA, gave temporary green card status to those who were children when they came to America illegally.
According to Pew Research where the above data came from, the first immigration law was passed in the U.S. 1790 called the Naturalization Act.
My Administration is acting swiftly to address the illegal immigration crisis on the Southern Border. Loopholes in our immigration laws all supported by extremist open border Democrats…and that's what they are – they're extremist open border Democrats…. pic.twitter.com/F73I5gu0Q5

On Wednesday in light of public push back President Trump signed an EO that temporarily ends family separation at the border. On Thursday The Washington Post reported that President Trump’s admin citing a source from Border Patrol would end prosecution of families illegal crossing the border, the article has been updated and clarified, that DOJ still has the final say who will and will not be prosecuted, however, they have added the policy going forward based on the EO that was signed yesterday, “The U.S. Border Patrol will no longer refer migrant parents who cross into the United States illegally with children to federal courthouses to face criminal charges, a senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection.”
