The American taxpayer is ALWAYS the Forgotten Man

It's high time for Trump to finally take his case to the American people in dramatic fashion and threaten to veto any bill that fails to address the border crisis, not just from the standpoint of funding the border wall, but also ending the invasion permanently.

As soon as A observes something which seems to him to be wrong, from which X is suffering, A talks it over with B, and A and B then propose to get a law passed to remedy the evil and help X. Their law always proposes to determine what C shall do for X or, in the better case, what A, B and C shall do for X. As for A and B, who get a law to make themselves do for X what they are willing to do for him, we have nothing to say except that they might better have done it without any law, but what I want to do is to look up C. I want to show you what manner of man he is.

Now, extrapolate the concept of the forgotten man to immigration and border policy, where politicians and judges are redistributing wealth to impoverished and often socially troubled people coming in by the millions from Central America without any regard for the taxpayer.

Why is it moral for the American people to shoulder this burden at all, when there is no asylum-qualifying persecution? And what about the persecution of the American people by the gangs and drugs being brought in by some of these migrants?

Then he should give a speech before Congress and lay out a series of demands that are owed to the forgotten American people, from ending the asylum loophole and sanctuary cities to cutting off magnets, identity theft, and remittances.

Trump should then commence a massive Spanish-language media campaign in Central America and Mexico announcing that nobody can ever come to our border to request status and that anyone caught challenging our border will be barred indefinitely from coming again.

Then he should stare down Congress and challenge them on behalf of American taxpayers as Reagan did in 1985: "I have my veto pen drawn and ready for any tax increase that Congress might even think of sending up. And I have only one thing to say to the tax increasers. Go ahead - make my day." This border tax on the American people costs over $100 billion a year, not to mention the cost to our security and the toll from the drug crisis.
