Honoring the
victims in Florida
President Donald J. Trump
issued a Presidential Proclamation yesterday morning in
response to Wednesday’s tragic shooting at a public high
school in Parkland, Florida.
“Our Nation grieves
with those who have lost loved ones,” the President wrote. As
a mark of solemn respect for the victims, he ordered the United
States flag to be flown at half-staff at the White House, all
public buildings and grounds, all military posts and naval
stations, and upon all naval vessels stationed throughout the
United States and its territories.
President Trump
addressed the Nation shortly before 11:30 a.m. yesterday to
explain the Administration’s response. “Our Administration
is working closely with local authorities to investigate the
shooting and learn everything we can,” he said. “We are
committed to working with state and local leaders to help
secure our schools, and tackle the difficult issue of mental
health.”
The flag is to remain at
half-staff until sunset on February 19.

Americans are
not divided on immigration
The Schumer Democrats
in Congress are trying to convince Americans that the country
is deeply divided on immigration reform. Outside the Beltway,
the numbers tell an entirely different story.
According to a recent
CBS poll, nearly three-quarters of voters
favor President Trump’s Immigration
Reform and Border Security Framework. The core principles
of that framework include 1) securing the border; 2) providing
legal status for DACA-eligible immigrants; 3) protecting the
nuclear families of immigrants; and 4) eliminating the Visa
Lottery and replacing it with a system that prioritizes merit
and public safety.
The CBS poll is no
outlier. Polls from Harvard Harris (January 2018), Pulse
Opinion Research (August 2017), and America First Policies
(August 2017) all point to the same conclusion: Americans are
more than ready for an immigration system that puts the
national interest first once and for all.
Will our leaders in
Congress listen?
The
bottom line: Americans overwhelmingly support President Trump’s
commonsense immigration plan.
On tax reform,
the good news keeps rolling in
The American people
overwhelmingly support taking action to rebuild our Nation’s
infrastructure—and that support spans across the partisan
divide:
“America’s
infrastructure is falling behind other nations, and it’s
costing us jobs, compromising safety, and constraining
economic growth,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) said in 2015.
“Real
action to streamline the permitting process will help
jumpstart projects that are vital to our communities and our
economy,” Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) says.
- “It should never
take more than two years to complete all federal permits
required for an infrastructure project,” the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce argues.
The general public
agrees with these views. In a September 2017 Harvard-Harris
poll, an overwhelming 84 percent of those polled believe that
America needs an investment in infrastructure. Business leaders
feel even more strongly: 89 percent of business owners surveyed
believe infrastructure investments will improve the U.S.
economy.

America’s infrastructure.
