This town is proof that Trump’s wall can work
Paul Sperry in the New York Post
“Federal data show a far-less imposing wall than the one Trump envisions — a two-story corrugated metal fence first erected under the Bush administration — already has dramatically curtailed both illegal border crossings and crime in Texas’ sixth-largest city,” Paul Sperry writes.

The secure barrier has helped El Paso, Texas, “become one of the safest large cities in America”—despite its proximity to Juarez, Mexico, which is considered to be among the most dangerous places in the world. “Before 2010, federal data show the border city was mired in violent crime and drug smuggling, thanks in large part to illicit activities spilling over” the border, Sperry explains.

In The Washington Times, Stephen Moore argues that “the just-enacted Trump tax bill already proved [its] critics wrong.” Moore says that along with the recent Walmart announcement, “more than 100 companies that have offered bonuses and benefit hikes to their workers due to the tax cut. An estimated one million workers have benefited. This after one month.”

  Washington Examiner’s editorial board writes that Fiat Chrysler’s recent announcement that it will make “Ram trucks in Michigan instead of Mexico beginning in 2020” is just one more example of good economic news to come. “Reducing the tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent weighs heavily, and in many cases, it will tip the balance in favor of America,” the board says.

Jeff Bergner writes in The Virginian-Pilot that under President Trump, the previous administration’s “legislative, regulatory and policy initiatives are disappearing” quickly. “In only 12 short months, the legacy of Obama’s presidency is best captured by the motto of a well-known disaster restoration company: ‘like it never even happened,’” Bergner writes.

Within President Trump’s first year in office, he has hired an “astounding number of women for senior-level positions in the White House,” writes Jen Kerns for The Hill. No matter one’s political affiliation or feelings toward the Administration, she says, “there is no denying the numbers of women [Trump] has placed in power in the West Wing.” She offers a cautionary note for the media: “Just because Trump doesn’t receive credit for his hiring of women doesn’t mean it’s any less significant.”
