Enjoy.)Barbra Streisand has decided Americans aren’t interested in building a wall on the Southern border. According to the 76-year-old celebrity, President Donald Trump is the only one who will benefit. “Trump only cares about this wall in order to build a monument to himself,” Streisand claimed. The Grammy winner went on a tirade, telling Americans the wall is “immoral” and adding it’s all about Trump’s ego. Well, that’s when she got utterly destroyed. You’ll love this.
Barbra Streisand is lecturing Americans about national security and morality. The two-time Oscar winner is assuming Americans don’t want the wall. In fact, she is claiming it’s a monument to President Trump and not only is it immoral but it’s not something we can’t afford as a nation, Breitbart reported.
“Trump only cares about this ‘wall’ in order to build a monument to himself. Just like the bankrupt ‘Trump’ buildings, the nation cannot afford to pay for his ego – – not financially, not morally,” Barbra Streisand said in a social media post.

Streisand is getting her information from one of the most notorious leftwing propaganda outlets: Salon Magazine. And she is just parroting the leftist rhetoric found in the article she tweeted.
Neera Tanden, one of Hillary Clinton’s close advisers, said this about Salon in 2016: “Especially over the last year, they [Salon] seem to have completely jumped the shark in so many ways. They’ve become — and I think this is sad — they’ve definitely become like a joke, which is terrible for people who care about these progressive institutions.” And that’s from a devoted leftist.
So, Babs is getting her information on our national security from a site which even hardcore leftists say has become “a joke.” This is exactly why the Hollywood crowd is so dangerous as they influence useful idiots into thinking what they say must be the gospel truth.
“Since getting back from Christmas break, I’ve tortured myself by reading and watching some of the usual suspects in the media – Fake news populated by fake thinkers,” lamented Fox News‘ Laura Ingraham about the border crisis.
She added, “But it’s not a crisis when just in the past fiscal year, a total of almost 400,000 individuals were caught crossing our southwest border? The number of people crossing illegally with children has also skyrocketed. In the Rio Grande Valley sector alone, the number spiked 27 percent since last year, jumping from like 49,896 in fiscal year 2017 to 63,278 in the last fiscal year. Not a crisis?”
Well, according to Barbra Streisand and the Hollywood crowd not only is it not a crisis, but it’s also just something Trump wants to feed his ego, and calling the wall “immoral” is the new narrative. Well, Americans are sick and tired of Babs and her Hollywood buddies spewing leftist propaganda about the wall when we are facing a national security crisis.
Twitter user @Sparbanie tweeted to Streisand, “You. Are. So. Wrong. 63-million Americans elected @realDonaldTrump largely in part because they believe in national security and sovereignty. They WANT the wall. The cost is peanuts in the overall scheme of big government and will save much more in law enforcement costs.”

Brian Meeks gave the Hollywood leftist a real wake-up call, tweeting, “We can’t afford illegal immigration any longer either Barbra with 300,000 pouring across our southern border every year. I’m sure they clean your home well and manage the lawn, but it needs to stop. Democrat for over 20 years.”

Laura Ingraham said, “This is and has been, a crisis felt by average Americans far beyond the comfy confines of TV studios and far beyond the heady halls of Congress. Yet the media and deceitful politicians only acknowledge the crisis when the tragedy of an immigrant child makes the headlines.”
And celebrities like Streisand who have millions of followers have a duty to research the facts for themselves before they go rogue posting sheer propaganda. This is not only dangerous, but it is also immoral. The real immorality in this border crisis lies with those who dismiss the facts, just because they hate President Trump.
We can help President Trump by rallying our family and friends and making sure they have all the facts. “Israel constructed the border fence on the Egyptian frontier beginning in 2010, amid a wave of mass illegal entries into the country by illegal immigrants from Eritrea, Sudan, and Somalia,” reported Israel National News. “Following the completion of the fence in December 2013, and modifications to the fence in 2014, illegal entries from Egypt into Israel dropped by 99% in 2016, and fell to zero by 2017.”
Walls do work. And we have a duty to correct anyone who is spouting lies about the wall. This fight isn’t easy, and with so many deluded or brainwashed, we need to remember the truth is on our side. Nations don’t exist without borders, and the wall will save lives in Mexico and in the USA. Let the haters hate, we will stand by our president to ensure America will be safe, again.
