Thilli$$$: ‘We don’t need no steenkin’ wall.’ (Everything is working JUST FINE.)
Our junior US senator was Tucker Carlson’s victim Monday night. And the Fox host sat there for most of the segment in utter disbelief — like we often do at this site — at the utter bullshit and nonsense pouring out of this charlatan’s mouth.
Carlson introduced Tillis as opposing the wall, which the senator quickly, um, “corrected”:
“I don’t oppose the wall. I oppose putting a 30-foot structure on top of a 30,000 foot steep cliff. I oppose taking down two fences separated by an all-weather road that border patrol patrols in California that’s working.
I oppose things that people on the ground think are not in their best interests and those are the folks that go out and put on the bullet proof vests every day and actually have to protect the border, who tell me the wall in certain places makes sense but intelligence, reconnaissance and other resources make sense elsewhere […]
What’s “working” in California? Here’s an immigration official from just last year saying we might as well surrender on guarding the border. Here’s something about border patrol agents enthusiastically backing Trump during last year’s campaign. You know, when he was promising to build a wall.
I have seen stories about the flow across the border slowing down in recent weeks. It’s being attributed to the tough new tone out of DC and the promise of a wall.
In the interview, Tillis shrugs off Tucker’s point that people in North Carolina and across the country voted for the wall. (And that Trump got one million more votes in North Carolina than Tillis did.)
Here’s Tillis verbatim:
[…] “But what sense would it be to take down a structure that’s working for something that people on the ground say wouldn’t?”[…]
WHO thinks our border security is working well? All of those people in the Chamber and Farm Bureau who put these people to work over here? The drug and human traffickers? WHO?
Tucker asked Tillis WHY it make sense to block Trump from doing something he campaigned on, and voters appeared to approve in November. Tillis came back with how he could live with a wall on certain parts of the border. (Again, he said California is working just fine. Never mind that the state is a hellhole and practically a province of Mexico as-is.) :
[“Put the wall] where the geography and the migration patterns make sense.”[…]
Carlson asked Tillis if he favored NO WALL on the California border with Mexico.
Tillis: “The fence is working.The problem we have there is something a wall won’t fix and that’s tunnels.[…]”
Tillis said a huge point for him against building the wall is that it would be hard for our lawmen to see what the drug dealers on the Mexican side were doing. *Seriously.*
Watch the video for yourselves. I know, it will be painful. But take a good look at what you elected. And what you’re stuck with for at least two more years. (Unless he gets himself elected governor in 2020.)
This guy is such a prostitute for the Chamber and Farm Bureau. He’s fighting this wall on their behalf. Those two deep-pocketed interests thrive off of cheap Latin American labor. Those groups have shelled out big for ThomT, and he’s going to pay them back at our expense.
I honestly believe that if someone had paid him to vote AGAINST Neil Gorsuch, he would have done it.
Of course, Tillis denies Tucker’s assertion that he is FOR amnesty. (Never mind that Thilli$$$ called for it in The Wall Street Journal.)
Thilli$$$ winds up by touting his work on E-verify as House speaker in Raleigh. (Never mind that he worked on behalf of The Chamber and The Farm Bureau to water it down.)
Well, I think we all know that the concept of a kept campaign promise is alien to this guy.
Exhibit A as to why we need to scrap primaries and go to nominations by convention.
but if the convention ends up anything like they do in Mecklenburg or the last 12th district convention where rules are suspended and slates of people are passed then conventions might be a bigger mistake
Just because you have a room full of republicans it does not mean anything good is going to happen
Republicans need to close the republican primaries that would be a step in the right direction
Slates to skew the excom positions in the 12th? That is an old Zan Bunn trick to railroad things her way. Such shoddy thuggish tactics should be resisted everywhere.
shoddy thuggish progressive leftist republicans are everywhere in Mecklenburg almost all the good ones moved or gave up on the party
You dayum skippy right. Close the primaries.
Tucker is correct. The majority of North Carolinians voted for a wall. As usual Thom is out of step with voters and in step with lobbyists and special interest.
Melt his phone lines down with protests over his idiocy on leaving our borders an open door for every crook in the world! Even he, I’m sure, has locks on his doors and maybe even a security system?
So,…duh….why is it ok for the honest, law abiding citizens who live on the border to have to watch those refusing to abide by our laws, to tromp through their yards and property? Or for families to be assaulted and murdered by the hordes of the lawless.
There HAS to be a better candidate to run against this charlatan wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I for one am coming up on an election where I may actually vote demorat or abstain in several races. Thommy boy will never get my vote again, why vote for him if you are just going to get a demorat with an R beside his name? The same thing goes for my state senator..but unfortunately a demorat never runs against him so I have to just abstain.
We don’t need no stinkin’ Tillis. He is nothing but a rent boy for the special interests. Mark Meadows for US Senate 2020!
Build the wall. Make it high, make it thick, make it dangerous to climb over, impossible to break through, and deadly to dig under. Man it with the people already paid to guard our borders. Make Mexico “pay” for it by choking off their “revenue” from drugs. Rob their drug lords and take their money to pay it off. Take all the time we need to do that!
Hungary and Macedonia are good examples of how to man a border wall to keep illegal alien migrants out. Both deploy the military and police. Hungary also uses bounty hunters on horseback with dogs. Macedonia has armored cars mounting machine guns at intervals along the border and has its elite army special forces at the border to track down any migrants who might get through. When they catch an illegal alien, they give him an immediate summary hearing before a magistrate and immediately eject him back across the border.
One of the British newspapers had a telling photo at Hungary’s border wall with Serbia, which had been erected in 30 days. On the Serbian side were young Muslim men about five deep and on the Hungarian side, a line of uniformed soldiers with Uzis at the ready. Hungary also held a referendum on whether to let in the Muslim migrants as the EU was demanding, and the Hungarian people voted a resounding NO by 98% to 2%
Illegal aliens are presenting a serious crime problem both in Europe and America, as well as Australia, as shown by these three items::

It may be true that the full wall does not need to be built immediately, so Thommy has a bit of a point. What we need to do is focus on the points with the most problems for the wall first, and then expand the wall as we go. Sure if we step up patrols at non-walled areas that could work as an interim step until we can build the wall there.
Heck, we could implement measures like they have at highly secure military bases…look at videos of Area 51 when people venture too close as an example of what could happen.
There is only one true real liberty Constitutionalist that has run for office in 2014 and 2016. That man…Greg Brannon! We needed him then to represent NC IN DC and we need him even more now. Tillis continues to prove that he is in the Senate for the power and to be used as a puppet. We need Greg to stand up to the Cronies and fight for our liberty…before it is too late!
