Friction: John Kelly Angers Trump With Talk of “Evolving” Position on Border Wall
Posted On 18 Jan 2018
White House Chief of Staff John Kelly took a walk up to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to help lawmakers get a sense of what President Donald Trump was looking for in an immigration bill to protect recipients of DACA protection. In doing so, however, he made several remarks (later confirmed and repeated by the general in a Fox News interview) that reportedly angered the boss.
According to an initial report by the Washington Post, the chief of staff said that the president had made some statements about immigration on the campaign trail that did not necessarily hold true today. “Certain things are said during the campaign that are uninformed,” he said.
Kelly specifically denied that there would be a majestic “concrete wall from sea to shining sea.”
“Concrete wall is not a realistic solution in many places,” Kelly conceded, saying that a “physical barrier in many places” would suffice for the administration. He told Congress that “we need 700 more miles of barrier” on the border, but increased manpower and drone surveillance would be fine in other areas.
Whether Kelly did or did not accurately convey Trump’s current thinking on the wall, it was reportedly his insistence on telling lawmakers (and then the Fox News watching public) that Trump’s position had “evolved” that raised the president’s ire. “I had a lot to do with that,” Kelly told lawmakers, a statement that probably didn’t do him (or an immigration deal) any favors.
“He has evolved in the way he looks at things,” Kelly told Fox News. “Campaign to governing are two different things, and this president has been very flexible in terms of what’s in the realm of the possible.”
In a series of tweets on Thursday, however, Trump seemed singularly focused on destroying everything his chief of staff had said about his immigration position. Specifically, he wanted to let his supporters know that, as far as the wall was concerned, nothing had changed.
“The Wall is the Wall, it has never changed or evolved from the first day I conceived of it,” he wrote, choosing words that left no doubt as to who, exactly, he was contradicting. “Parts will be, of necessity, see through and it was never intended to be built in areas where there is natural protection such as mountains, wastelands or tough rivers or water.”
In a second tweet, he wrote: “The Wall will be paid for, directly or indirectly, or through longer term reimbursement, by Mexico, which has a ridiculous $71 billion dollar trade surplus with the U.S. The $20 billion dollar Wall is ‘peanuts’ compared to what Mexico makes from the U.S. NAFTA is a bad joke!”
Later in the day, after reports emerged that Republicans were confused about what precisely Trump wanted to see in a piece of legislation, the president made it crystal clear.
“We need the Wall for the safety and security of our country,” he wrote. “We need the Wall to help stop the massive inflow of drugs from Mexico, now rated the number one most dangerous country in the world. If there is no Wall, there is no Deal!”
If there is no wall, there is no deal. It doesn’t get much plainer than that.
Our secondary question, though, is whether Gen. Kelly will survive a day in which he seems to have severely disappointed the president. If the DACA deal is on thin ice, so might be the chief of staff.
Mr. Kelly you shouldn’t need to be reminded that you serve at the pleasure of the President. I would strongly suggest you get on the same page as POTUS or else hand in your resignation.
Anyone working at the White House, who doesn’t know that his/her position is tenuous at best, shouldn’t be working there in the first place!
It’s especially clear that this is the case in the current White House, since the rate of dismissal is twice the rate of the next highest firer-in-chief, Ronald Reagan.
It should also be noted that after massive ‘hiring’ by ‘O’, there are at least ‘twice’ the number ‘needing’ dismissal!!
My apologies for not making it clear, but I’m pretty sure that rate refers to hires by the president himself (in this case, Trump) only.
I know that for a long time during Obama’s administration, government employment actually went down significantly.
al; your comment is true to nt, but like always, we don’t know the whole story and may never.
That should go for MANY of the people trying to undermine PRESIDENT TRUMP’S AGENDA.
(just more of the SAME “new world order” , “one world government””… “globalists”)
Get in LINE with the “program” or as you say, get the HELL out of the way, and let someone else in your position (if you are not able to “HANDLE IT”)
You should take your $97 a year and get some education, get your mommy to read your post!
Jim I agree but it’s 97 $ every hour !!!!!
LOL!!!
I think all of you supporting Trump should get an education. You make it easy pickings for him. That’s what he counted on.
$97/hour……you may want to get some education. Try reading!
Big Deal, so jones made a mistake—–YOU are not perfect! So get a life!
Teeny tiny and doesn’t work. poor Charles……Bashing anyone makes you feel like a big guy. If the difference between $97/hour and $97/year is a tiny mistake in your mind, then you need to get a life. Numbskull extraordinaire.

Is this , hookers are us?
He is on the same page, it will be evident very soon!
Yep https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ebc276ad8ae8e69e8dc18eb25a84add27ee467ce50542929918946045f8f6e57.jpg
Sadly — As accurate as this map is the LEFT will not re-produce it and in fact are trying to have this buried from the public.
Agreed Al Copp.
You Trump lovers need to realize the president continually changing what he WANTS on everything, lies about everything,
It’s probably a combination of Trump’s often widely differing & sometimes contradictory statements (although not so much on the wall, which he’s repeatedly favored in some form) & Kelly himself disagreeing with them. It’s certainly not the first time he or any other White House staff has drawn the ire of his boss. Most of the time such contradictions are not fatal, though if it becomes a pattern…
niknar, I have been studying and listening to Trump from early 2016 and rarely does he contradict his statements, but rather enforces them in speeches and rallies. He is a leader that does what he says and works hard to do it. I hope he just makes an EO setting the whole mess of aliens being here and removing them all asap as Congress or the 2 parties in 1 are against him and what we want, and that has to stop. Obama had EOs galore, so this is a good case for an EO and as our Executive Officer he can do it!
You must be a Russian bot or you lie as much as Trump does.
When working for someone, no matter who, never to speak on behalf of that person without a CLEARLY DIFINiED
WORDS and TERMS from that PERSON! Never to Presume! Not even within a Couple without checking it out ahead of the time!Confusion comes from LACK OF UNDERSTANDING of the Subject matter!
Saw Kelly talking about the wall on Bret Beher and Kelly seemed a little too independent of Trump if not directly contradicting Trump on the wall. So I’m glad Trump quickly cleared it up. Kelly may have thought he was helping the funding bill but some of the things he said seemed more Kelly than Trump. It bothered me Kelly explained his job was about service to his country, instead of saying his job was about service to his President which is imperative to all cabinet members. Wouldn’t be surprised if Kelly is booted. He just seemed out of line for a Chief of Staff.
All of their jobs including Trumps is service to this country and nothing else.
Pres Trump seems to be the only one aware of that!!
Remember that Kelly is a general, so his natural instinct is to say that he is to serve his country, & personally I wish that was the priority of all members of our government. It’s so rare even among those political officials (congressmen, for example) whose expressed duty is to serve & represent the people. They typically serve & represent their billionaire corporate donors instead.
Mr Kelly, a solider, veteran and general, should never say
something is not possible.
Clearly a wall can built, President Trump wants a wall, the American people wants a wall. I firmly believe it will be
paid by Mexico.
Put up the wall and send all the illegals and DACA back to Mexico and what we save in feeding and housing them will cover the cost of the wall and we will be ahead of the game
John, and that will also include dreamers, chain families hopefully down to the 5th generation, anchor babies and NEVER amnesty to aliens wrongly on our soil. Chain families must go because they are criminals for not reporting any family member as an alien/illegal. So DACA, and all the rest must go. We don’t have room for them, we need E-Verify made a fed regulation so aliens no longer can take a real American’s job from him or her. There is NO reason to allow any of these criminals to remain on our soil, PERIOD! Repeal the 14th Amendment as was for blacks only and not anchor babies who are also leeches on us. What bugs me even more many aliens get refunds who have never ever paid one dime in taxes! Tired of the insults, trash strewn here and there, the stealing in stores, invasion of homes and garages, breaking into cars or stealing the cars. Enough already! And don’t forget all the serious diseases brought into our country, like entero virus last year in the East that killed many children, and the current virus (taint flu) that is making people sick and causing their death. This is our country, our America and we say only legitimate vetted immigrants may be selected and invited to live and work here with the skill(s) they bring with them. Otherwise no one allowed in. No diseases either and Japan is firm on that!
Good speech !
Not to ever forget the videos of these ‘Dreamers’ setting fire to the American flag and flying the flags of their ‘original’ countries!! If they despise our country so much and are so ‘dedicated’ to their country of origin–GO HOME!! You’ll be so much ‘happier’ there!! We don’t want ‘miserable’ immigrants– ‘legal’ or ‘illegal’ being ‘forced’ to live here!
There is a discussion of if babies born of illegals are really American Citizens period!
Right
The ‘frosting’ on the cake will be Mexico–one way or another, coming across with the funds as well. Once again, we’ll be the wealthiest nation on this earth. That wealth will bring us the security and opportunities we deserve.
Yeah. Right!
I see that your moniker “hope springs eternal” fits you perfectly.
Nothing ‘wrong’ with that!! Hope sustains the human spirit!
Have to agree with you there
Actually a September 21st 2017 poll by Monmouth University finds 35% of the American people want the wall to be built. It’s even lest popular than Trump.
Actually everyone I speak with here in Ca. Hispanics, Whites, Blacks
etc. wants the Wall.
Build the Wall!
The polls showed Hillary was going to win too. WRONG. We don’t believe polls anymore.
The polls showed Hillary would win the popular vote and she did.
Just the sheer economic weight removed from the Taxpayers’ backs justify the Wall. Feeding, housing, medicating, educating, incarcerating, voter fraud,not to mention those killed every year, make the WALL an excellent investment in Our continued success as a Nation.
Oh oh good to know mr. president ,now you know who you are dealing with ,swamp,so sad general Kelly sides with illegals and stabbing our president why the rinos are so afraid for the demorats
There are many who seem to think that building the wall will be the end of it. The only thing that will accomplish is a false sense of security. It will discourage a lot of people from trying to get through. It will not be an end all and, in itself, will not be a be a deterrent to those with the daring to attempt to breach it.
Every inch of it will have to be monitored. That will cost millions. It will take all types of surveillance equipment and a lot of it. The wall will need regular armed patrols and constant probes to insure that no one is getting through by other means like tunneling. On top of all that will be periodic maintenance. I can’t help but wonder how many of those all for the wall now will balk when they see all that added to their taxes?
“If mountains and oceans can be overcome, anything made by man can be overcome.” George S. Patton Jr.
metheoldsarge, when we no longer have leeches on our welfare and not paying taxes, it had been calculated that would save us $7 billion right there and probably more, so the money is here and will be here to get the job done on time and under cost, that is the Trump way. Nothing will be left unguarded and they will be armed.
The Trump way is bankruptcy and Russian mob money bailout. What planet are you from?
THIS one! and YOU??? Do you have a VISA or ‘green card’? I hope you didn’t ‘land’ here illegally!! LOL!!!!
What seems to be misunderstood about this Wall–is the ‘technology’ involved here. There has never been a wall like this built before. Just the technology, not only deters ‘breaching’ better than any other but, also surveillance is superior to any other and requires less ‘human’ intervention. A lot more area can be covered by fewer people. If ‘others’ have the foolish notion that they can attack the entrances–via entrance points, they are in for a nasty surprise. I don’t think many more attempts will be made once this is established. Protecting the safety of a nation’s citizens is NEVER a ‘foolish waste of money’!!
And that’s not where the breaches are the worst. Try the border guarded entrance points. Really a stupid waste of money.
If fences and walls don’t work, why did Obama heighten the wall around the White House?
Why does the Vatican have a wall around it?
Why did China build the Great Wall?
Why did the communists build the Berlin Wall?
Why does Mexico have a fence along it’s southern border?
Why do prisons have walls?
Why does Feinstein have wall around her mansion?
Why do I have a fence around my back yard?
I didn’t say a wall wouldn’t work. My point was that a wall alone would not be enough.
You are correct that Obama did enhance the wall around the White House but that alone would not stop someone determined enough to get over it. The added deterrent is the Secret Service detail that is armed to the teeth along with all the added electronic security equipment.
I have visited the Vatican. That wall is impressive but so is the small army of Swiss Guards that are heavily armed.
How many hundreds of years ago did China build the Great Wall? Do you believe it would be of any use by todays standards as any kind of deterrent or protection?
Do you think that Mexico depends solely on that southern border fence? I don’t think so. My guess is that it is enhanced, at least by human patrols and added technology.
Of course prisons have walls. They also are enhanced by heavily armed guards and technology. Prisoners have still managed to escape.
I have never seen Fienstein’s wall but I do know that she also has her own armed security. I would also imagine she also has cameras and added technology.
Why you have a fence around your yard is your business. The fence around my yard is just a privacy fence and that is all it is good for.
As for the Berlin Wall. I served a few years in Berlin. The wall alone was not a deterrent. It was only a barrier to anyone who was lucky enough to even get that far. There was a lot more to it than just a wall. Beside the guard towers every 50 to 100 yards, there were land mines, attack dogs and armed patrols, both mobile and on foot, with orders to shoot to kill. The armed patrols were rotated so no two guards spent more than one day together. The reason for that was to keep any two guards from getting to acquainted so they didn’t know who to trust. Another deterrent that also kept the Guards from defecting was not knowing what would happen to their families they left behind. Needless to say, if you didn’t have any family to worry about you were never selected for wall duty.
In spite of all that people were still able to get from the east to the west. When I was there, at least one or two people a week were making it to the west by various means. The Checkpoint Charlie museum is full of displays and documentation showing the ingenuity and imagination that went into escapes. There was also money to be made by professionals who made a business of helping escapes.
All I was saying is that it takes more than just a wall to keep people in or out of an area.
“All I was saying is that it takes more than just a wall to keep people in or out of an area.”
I agree. Perhaps more border patrol agents and drones would help, along with cameras and IEDs.
I am getting the feeling that this Kelly is not long working in the Trump administration because obviously we know that Trump has not said what Kelly is saying. Trump stated the other day we need the wall, seethrough walls, and where Mother Nature has waters/mountains/etc. there does not need to be wall but that does not mean no guards, etc. State what Trump says and don’t be stupid, Kelly, so hope you have another job lined up elsewhere.
No one works long for Trump because he is a kook.
Because President Trump finds out they are part of the swamp, so he fires
them. There are very few in DC that he can trust.
No one knows Trumps position on anything. It changed minute by minute. He is so much of a kook, he needs to be placed in the funny farm.
So–you also go by the name of ‘joanne tapia’??? Posting under different names suggests you’re ‘dishonest’!!
His position is clear. He has not changed his mind on the wall, chain migration, anchor babies,
the stupid visa lottery, etc. Durbin, Schemer, Piglousi, Bernie, and the Dims are upset because
they cannot strong-arm him or fool him into signing a disastrous spending bill. Dims expect to
get all of their conditions met without giving an inch. NOT HAPPENING!!!!!
Right. Who’s paying fir the wall?
If we get rid of all the illegal leeches that wall would be paid for!
America needs the WALL, should the democrats shutdown the government because of DACA deal? Who cares…
Our ‘servicemen/women’ who don’t get paid–care!! So do I!
Deb.most servicemen/women will have no laps in on time pay. The rest will get full back pay when the government shutdown is over, and that will be soon. So save your outrage at my comment. Sometimes it is better not to give in. Have a great day…
I agree with Gen Kelly on at least one point. Trump has evolved as he is now privy to much that was not the case before moving into the WH. He has also evolved into a great leader and has done so much to right so many wrongs created by the last administration. I know that whatever the outcome is with regard to the wall, and it will be no insignificant ecological fete. There are many many things that must be taken into consideration and we can rest assured that our border will be secured.
Not if Schumer, Polisi and the RINOs have anything to say about it.
I say we do what the Democraps have done. We say the border wall and security first and then grant amnesty. When the wall is built and the border secured no amnesty.
No one knows Trumps position on anything. It changed minute by minute. He is so much of a kook, he needs to be placed in the funny farm.
Just because ‘you’ can’t keep up with his reasoning, doesn’t mean ‘he’s’ a ‘kook’!! His unpredictability is actually a ‘strong’ point when dealing with this government. He consistently catches them ‘off guard’. Since most of their dealings are concerning undermining his efforts, this keeps him ‘one step’ ahead. He’s a ‘chess player’!! Are you?

Benghazi
Chris Stevens, the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, and three others were killed during a U.S. diplomatic attack. Initially, the Obama administration claimed the attack was not a terrorist attack but, instead, was triggered by a reaction to an anti-Muslim film. However, emails later revealed they knew it was a premeditated terror attack.

In defense of Donald Trump: Try to keep these points in mind,
Donald Trump did not steal your money.
Donald Trump did not raise your taxes.
Donald Trump did not quadruple the price of food.
Donald Trump is not starting a race war.
Donald Trump did not leave any US soldiers in Benghazi to be slaughtered and desecrated by Muslims.
Donald Trump did not send the US Navy to fight for Syrian Al-Qaeda.
Donald Trump did not arm ISIS and systematically exterminate Christians throughout the Middle East.
Kelly is a guy who has Trump’s success in mind and would not do things to mess it up. They need to communicate in clearer terms to get on the same page.
THE PRESIDENT’S WORDS SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED BY ANY OF HIS STAFF NO MATTER WHAT. WHEN THE PRESIDENT MAKES CHANGES HE WILL NOTIFY THOSE HE WANTS NOTIFIED,AND NOT BY ANYONE ELSE. TRUMP HAS GIVEN HIS WORD TO THE AMERICAN PATRIOTS AND STANDS BEHIND IT. HIS STAFF SHOULD JUST BACK HIM TO THE HILT,AND NOT GIVE IN TO ANY OF THE DUMACRATS DEMANDS,PERIOD. THE DUMS JUST WANT FUTURE VOTERS,BUT COULD REALLY CARE LESS ABOUT THE ILLEGALS,. WHY ARE THE CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS ALLOWED TO RECEIVE THEIR PAY IF EVERYONE ELSE HAS TO SUFFER IF THERE IS CLOSE DOWN,OF THE COUNTRY? WHY ARE THEY PRIVILAGED. SOMETHING WRONG HERE!
One of our Senators has volunteered to donate his salary to charity while the ‘shut-down’ is in force. He agrees that the Congress/Senate should not be paid at times when the government is ‘shut down’!! For one thing, they’d be a lot less ‘quick’ to pull that maneuver every time they want to ‘blackmail’ our president!!! Also, I’d like the see the ‘51%’ majority put in place, as well.
Because all of them are assholes and they put them selves above every body else, that is why the bastards are getting paid while others don’t. The demorat party is absolutely the most illerate uneducated party to ever be formed and that goes for all the dumb ass demo sewer rats that keep voting the butt wipes in just for the freebies and goodies they receive. If anybody does not like my comments about the ignorant heathens, then just block me.
Gimpy — This comment of yours is 15 days old so you have not been blocked. I bet HUNDREDS of us on this “string” agree with you 100% — Although at this point I am the only Up Check you have.
I think the top echelon of the cabinet, should not say anything that does not, clearly define what the president wants. That is his cabinet and should, do what he decides is the best for this country right now. The cabinet meetings should clear up anything the president wants. These are all educated people, they know when they are doing something, the president doesn’t want. It shouldn’t be happening, they know it shouldn’t happen. It is being disrespectful, of the person we the people elected, for the leadership of this country, not them. They are appointed, by the congress and senate to help the president, achieve his goals. When they do not do that anymore, they know they can be replaced. when are people going to wake up and understand, the president is suppose to be an extension, of the people, getting what they want done. That is what this country has been about, for hundreds of years. The business people who bought politicians, who don’t vote for what is good for the people, should be put in jail, along with the politicians who, receive that money. That would make a beautiful and wonderful government again.
The reason is the illegals cost Americans zillions and they should get in line like the rest of the immigrants that have been patiently working their way through the system ! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/25a86bebe8726a338c9d520863a21cf943573bd7f8ef755d2718d29abb7613da.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d32dab54ec32f0cbbae33bfc75e67f9aa49abf7dee3b8e9e9106b62be87f46d3.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ce3981d63a8919c3330e1e85f7472896d9d19ab5813dd6feefd80f00dd072d1a.jpg
Trump is a self described “stable genius”. Therefore, he is infallible.
NO one is ‘infallible’!! However, he IS ‘damn good’!! LOL!!!
Deborah- Good morning and thank you for your reply. May I ask you a favor? Could you please tell me the moment you became a Trump supporter? What did he say or do that convinced you to vote for him?
Well, W.Coyote, that’s rather a ‘tall order’!! I’m usually rather focused ‘in the moment’–but, I’ll try. As I remember, I had been listening to Hillary for quite awhile and really wasn’t impressed with the woman’s agendas. Sounded like the ‘same old, same old’ to me. After enduring ‘O’s 8years of disaster, I didn’t consider myself ‘into’ politics, at all. Discouraging, at best. I had also been listening to the ‘other’ candidates. When I saw the D.Trump was entering as a candidate, I said, ‘Oh, No!! Not ‘him”!! I’d seen his ‘reality’ show and took an instant dislike to the man. I figured I’d give him the same amount attention I’d given to the other candidates though, in all ‘fairness’. He was very ‘different’ than I’d remembered him. He spoke in a calm, firm manner and covered a wide range of subjects all relevant to those things which concerned me, and those I knew, the most. He was ‘logical’, concise and factual. By the time he’d finished, he’d gained my attention. Hillary ‘played’ to the ‘crowd’ and put far too much on the fact that she was a ‘woman’!! I didn’t like that. I don’t think ‘gender’ is any basis for voting in an important government official. She struck me as ‘flash’, insincere, and ‘superficial’. Trump presented ‘facts’ and was very ‘grounded’ in his approach. After a period of time, I got to appreciate his ‘straight from the shoulder’ approach and saying what he thought in a direct manner. He wasn’t overly concerned with ‘impressing’ any one. Over time, I’ve closely followed his progress and watched the reactions of others like Hillary and Obama. These are times that call for a strong personality and intelligence. I’m now convinced we have that with Pres Trump. The ‘others’ have lost my trust and confidence altogether.!! So, it wasn’t really a ‘moment’ of decision–it was more of a development over time. A ‘conclusion’, if you will.
Good morning Deborah and thank you for providing more detail. It was all very interesting. Otherwise, I hope you and your family are doing well today.
Kelly follow the orders of your Commander in Chief, his name is President Trump
Trump is the commander in chief! Follow the chain of command!
Two points –
The source of this story is WaPo. Wa Po has a record of fake news, animosity toword the President, and a financial relationship with Amazon. Recently, I observed Amazon packages being delivered from the back of an older, family van by an individual who could have been a DACA, or illegal immigrant. I am not stating that the person was not a US citizen, because I have no proof, one way or the other. I just noticed that this was an Amazon delivery system I had never observed before here in California.
Secondly, I would like to point out that as a retired, senior, military officer, Gen. Kelly has a personal interest in the welfare of our military who are serving w/o pay while a few over paid, narcissitic politicians are haggling over DACA, an amnesty program that is illegal and was put into place by EO, one of the many EO’s illegally issued by king obama.
Yes, Gen Kelly may have misspoke, but if he did, and I emphasize IF, then you can be assured that WaPo embellished whatever the General may have said.
Those obstructing the budget legislation do not have the interests of US citizens at heart. God bless President Trump and those who voted for passage.
The reason the Dakar/dims are so anxious to have Dakar immigration approved is because elections are closing in and they want the votes.
I pray that pres. Trump won’t cave. I am tired of these illegals draining our pockets. Send them home WITH their parents.we elected Trump for this main reason.
Liar Schummer will end up giving we the people our marching orders.
Also there is BIG news about the Dems coming out and Chucky wants illegals to cover the scandal.
The American people will not tolerate ANY evolution on how to handle DACA illegal aliens. Deport every last one of them. They are not children. They are now adults. Send them all home to apply for legal entry. “No child left behind.” All must go… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/12b1b3e88d8883168b7d8a4ce22c3385bec2a74abff2883e3847dd3b4d25f13e.jpg
Get rid of ALL who go against the will of the American people.
Why would Kelly go to the MSM to say that our POTUS had changed his mind
about the wall? Get with what our President wants, or get out of office!
President Trump will not sign off on a total amnesty program that the liberals
want, while getting zero in return!
I DIDN’T realize that Kelly was so slippery and deceitful. America has been hit with 40,000+++ illegals who are rapists and murderers coming back into the US anywhere from 5 to 10 times without any problem. They keep sliding back in, committing more heinous crimes, and then, they are simply deported. Kelly needs to do a bit of reading and bring himself back up to speed. I gave him way too much credit for having some brains.
Kelly I suggest you keep your damn mouth shut. Us Trump patriots support the president100% on the wall issue and this immigration issue. What made you to take it upon yourself to make these statements to the crimunal Demicrats. The-Trump agenda is supported by his followers. You may be the reason the budget was not approved. You need to follow Trumps lead or get out.
Mr Kelly needs to be reminded of WHO he works for cause from here it looks like he supports and is fighting for LAWBREAKERS? and is definitely not putting AMERICA first? looks more like he wants to Break America supporting the LAWBREAKERS? if he is so concerned over why not GO WITH THEM, when the President has these Lawbreakers rounded up and shipped BACK where they come from! and GET OUT of the country you cannot seem to put first Mr Kelly they are LAWBREAKERS FIRST just like you?
Real American citizens wants the wall built for our security as just letting the democrats bring in terrorist, law breaking illegals, and disease carriers and gangs is very dangerous . NO DACA, NO CHAIN MIGRATION, NO AMNESTY , AMERICA FIRST AND ALWAYS FIRST.. GOD BLESS TRUMP 2020 MAGA.
Mr. Kelly is incorrect.
People, Officers and such will keep folks out MAYBE after they arrive at the Border.
A WALL of dramatic materials and proportions will dissuade folks from even coming to the Border in the first place. It would be well known thruout the entire region and wherever anyone might be considering breaking in to our Country. People far and wide would be discouraged and just not attempt the challenge.
Get rid of Kelly or better yet send him to Mexico or the Middle East……..but just get rid of his worthless arse.

Throw the puppy out and under the wheels of the local bus! You are nothing more than a Globalist in drag. It is time to go seel shoes along with Al Bundy. (That’s about your speed).
ILLEGALS cost AMERICAN TAXPAYERS trillions so put that on the wall instead.
Alright people you may not like hearing but in regards to getting illegal alien slime out of our nation Donald has betrayed us, seriously making deals with the Socialist sharia party, toxic waste needs to get pumped back into that toxic waste cesspool (i.e.) Mexico that it overflowed out of.
YOU SAID A MOUTHFUL OF TRUTH GIMPY,DON’T EVER CHANGE YOUR MIND AND SIDE WITH THOSE DUMRATS ON ANY ISSUE.. SEMPER FI
Things have improved Sir since you became Chief of staff….keep up the good work.
5 birds with 1 stone..dont build the wall..take the money and hire border patrol oh 1 or 2 for every half mile of border…sell confiscated drugs to medical science/pharmaceutical or other companies..dems happy no wall..bunch of people get jobs..illegal immigration slows or stops..big pharma can make drugs that might actually help instead of merely covering up…confiscated drug cash and proceeds from sales of confiscated drugs, mexican money, pays border patrol not taxes..
John Kelly does not get the wall idea. It is not going to evolve for it has evolved in pass presidency’s and not it has to be built or no DACA deal at all! John Get this straight there is a wall requested and we are not going to take no any more on that issue.
In most cases modernization is good, but as far as our immigration system goes it has taken a drastic turn the wrong way. Remember how we used to let people in the country? First they had to have sponsers that vowed they would be responsible for them so they wouldn’t be a welfare drain on the country. They arrived via Ellis Island and before they were allowed through the gates they had a health check to make sure they weren’t bringing disease in. Then if they were admitted they had a citizenship class and the rules and laws of the country were explained to them. They had to take a vow of assimilation and agree to respect our country, learn our language etc. so many things that aren’t happening today. And there were strict penalties for anyone caught entering illegally. They were deported post haste. That may all be old fashioned but it worked. I recently read an article about an illegal alien with HIV that was pleading to stay here. He knew he had it when he sneaked in and expects to be taken care of for free. Those drugs are very expensive, and will be a drain on the taxpayers who are having a hard time taking care of their own families. This country gives medical aid to countries in need so there is no reason for them to come here to be taken care of. And there’s a chance he will pass it on here. And many of those chain immigrant families are living on welfare with free housing, while our vets and others are living on the streets. I’m as compassionate as anyone else but we can’t afford this.
