While immigration was essentially ignored during the first presidential debate Monday, it is still a major issue plaguing our nation and a huge part of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s platform.

Trump has famously called for a wall along the US border with Mexico to help stem the tide of illegal immigration, and it has caused critics to fume with anger. But we have three reasons that PROVE it needs to be built.

FBI data shows terrorists are sneaking in through Mexico

Leaked FBI data obtained by Breitbart Texas revealed Monday that there were 7,712 terrorist encounters in the US – in just the past year! Between July 2015 and July 2016, the majority of terrorist encounters (interactions with known or suspected terror watch list suspects by law enforcement) unsurprisingly occurred in border states, with Texas, California, and Arizona ranking among the highest.

The leaked information from the Terrorist Screening Center, the group behind terrorist watch lists, reveals that majority of the encounters in Arizona were with Islamic terrorists.

This information makes it clear that terrorists are making their way into our country through Mexico, and the current administration isn’t doing anything about it! A Trump presidency would mean stricter enforcement of immigration laws and a secure wall at the border that’s currently welcoming in terrorists.

Sponsored: Strange “instant pain relief” secret caught on video

Have you seen the weird “little brown bottle” video?

In the short video, you can see how more than 535,311 people have discovered an underground sensation in pain relief — with NO mass media advertising. Some people are saying that just one or two drops of a clear substance relieved their pain instantly — and for hours or DAYS.

If you or a loved one is suffering from arthritis, shoulder, hip, or joint pain you MUST see this brief viral video. It will only take a moment, and your pain could finally be gone.

In fact, the little brown bottle is a nightmare for those highly paid “Pain Specialist” MDs. So I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to get the video banned or discredited. While it’s up there, watch it now.

Board patrol agents back Trump’s plan

The government organization that knows more about immigration policies than any other entity asked for the wall when they endorsed Donald Trump for president. The National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council (ICE) announced their support for Trump on Monday, marking the first time the group has endorsed a presidential candidate – ever.

The statement released by the president of the council, Chris Crane, revealed the 5,000 officers within the organization, “come into contact with many of the most dangerous people in the world – cartel members, gang members, weapons traffickers, murder suspects, drug dealers, suspects of violent assault – yet ICE officer are unable to arrest or are forced to release many of the most dangerous back into U.S. communities due to unscrupulous political agendas and corrupt leaders.”

There is no more reliable source on what is needed on our border than the men and woman who dedicate their life’s work to guarding it. With Clinton receiving a meager 5% of the members votes, it’s clear that Trump’s policies are necessary to keep our nation safe from the criminals attempting to illegally enter it.

It’ll cost taxpayers nothing. Mexico WILL pay for the wall

Critics have long argued that the wall would cost taxpayers a fortune, and Trump’s plan to force Mexico to pay for it is absurd. But that absurdity has officially been debunked, by none other than Mexico’s former secretary of foreign affairs.

Jorge Casteneda, who allegedly hates The Donald, listed out a series of ways Trump could demand the funds. While he might not receive a single check written “for the wall,” there are multiple indirect ways.

Casteneda told the Weekly Standard that Trump could, “increase the fee for visas, which is a decision made by the State Department, not by Congress, increase the toll on the bridges [between the two countries]… again, not done by Congress.”

He also suggested Trump could tax the remittances being sent from the US to Mexico through, “transaction fees, commissions, special fees etc.”

So while Mexico might not explicitly agree to pay for the wall, it can be funded their dollars, not ours.
