The mainstream media seems to be scratching their heads today as President Trump is said to be about to take action to start restricting illegal immigrants from entering or staying in the country. Expected moves include a ban on admission of refugees from certain areas where terrorism is prevalent absent what Trump calls "extreme vetting", commencement of design/construction of a border wall on the Mexican border, increases in the numbers of border patrol and ICE personnel to enforce the law, the end of catch and release which was the Obama program to ignore the law, and an end to sanctuary cities' receipt of federal funding. Much of the mainstream media seems still to be surprised that the president is making good on one of his main campaign promises.
Why is it that the media still did not expect President Trump to do what he repeatedly promised to do? Don't they realize that the president would forfeit enormous support were he to just become another Washington politician who gets elected on one basis and then governs on another? I guess the answer to that question is a resounding NO -- they just don't understand.
So far this week, Trump has done more than Obama did in an average month. At some point, the media will have to realize just how much is occurring. The reporters may not focus on it, but the American people certainly will.
