South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham claimed that President Donald Trump’s proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border was part of America’s defense against terrorism and part of a global strategy against “radical Islam.”

南卡罗来纳州参议员林赛·格雷厄姆声称，特朗普总统提议建造的美墨边境墙是美国防御恐怖主义、以及对抗“伊斯兰极端主义”全球战略的一部分。

Writing on Twitter on Thursday the senator said the as-yet incomplete border fortifications would form America’s “last line of defense” against radical Islamists but offered no evidence that Islamic extremists had ever used the Mexican border to infiltrate the U.S.

尽管他没有提供任何关于极端分子曾利用墨西哥边境向美国渗透的证据，格雷厄姆在周四的推特上将这堵尚未完工的边境墙称为美国对付伊斯兰极端分子的“最后一道防线”。

“When it comes to radical Islam a border wall is our last line of defense—not our first” the Republican senator wrote. “Our first line of defense is a forward-deployed presence working with partners to disrupt enemy operations directed at our allies and homeland."

“当谈到伊斯兰极端主义问题的时候，边境墙是我们最后的一道防线，而不是第一道，”这位共和党参议员写道，“我们的第一道防线应该部署于前沿，通过和盟友们的合作来瓦解敌人针对我国和盟友的破坏行动。”

The message blended support for Trump’s contentious and elusive border wall with criticism of the White House’s foreign policy specifically Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria where they have been supporting local forces in the fight against the Islamic state militant group or ISIS.

在推文中，他既表明了对特朗普极具争议的边境墙项目的支持，也表达了对白宫的对外政策，尤其是特朗普从叙利亚撤军这一决定的批评。在这之前，美军一直在叙利亚境内协助当地武装打击激进组织。

When Trump made his Syria announcement last week Graham called the decision a “stain on the honor of the United States” arguing it would be “disastrous to our own national security” and would put Americans around the world and at home “more at risk not less.”

当特朗普于上周宣布从叙利亚撤军时，格雷厄姆认为这个决定将会“玷污美国的国家荣誉”，对国家安全造成“灾难性的后果”，并使国内外的美国民众处于“更大的风险中”。



But Thursday’s tweet reiterated the senator's support for Trump’s wall and echoed false statements previously made by the president that suggested terrorists were trying to cross the Mexican border into the U.S.

但随后在周四的推文中，他重申了对兴建边境墙的支持，并附和了特朗普之前发表的“恐怖分子正试图从墨西哥边境进入美国”的虚假说辞。

In the run-up to the midterms in November one of Trump’s favored talking points was the migrant caravan traveling from Central America to the U.S. to claim asylum.

在十一月的中期选举拉开序幕之时，那支从中美洲出发，前往美国寻求庇护的移民队伍是特朗普最钟爱的谈资之一。

Trump suggested "unknown Middle Easterners" had hidden themselves in the thousands-strong caravan hoping to slip unnoticed into the U.S. He offered no evidence to support his claim—which was parroted by several Republican lawmakers and right-wing media commentators—and later appeared to walk back his claim saying “There’s no proof of anything.”

特朗普曾表示，“身份不明的中东人”隐藏在了数千人的移民队伍中，企图浑水摸鱼偷偷进入美国国内。尽管有数名共和党的立法者和右翼媒体评论员随声附和了他的说法，特朗普却没有提供任何的证据。随后他的态度逐渐软化，以“证据不足”为由撤回了以上说辞。

The majority of terror attacks—Islamist or otherwise—in the U.S. since 9/11 have been perpetrated by U.S. citizens reported PBS. Most culprits were either born in America or moved to the country at a very young age despite claims by anti-immigration proponents that new arrivals or undocumented migrants constituted the largest threat.

尽管排斥移民政策的拥护者们声称，新移民和无证移民是恐怖分子的最大源头，但是据美国公共广播公司（PBS）报道，自9/11事件以来，发生在美国的大多数恐怖袭击——不管是伊斯兰教性质的还是其他的，其主要的作案人员是美国公民。他们中的大多数要么出生在美国，要么在非常年幼的时候就已经移居到美国了。

It is also worth noting that the majority of undocumented migrants do not arrive in the U.S. by crossing land borders but rather by overstaying legitimate visas according to federal data.

此外，值得注意的是，根据联邦政府提供的数据显示，大多数的无证移民不是通过偷渡，而是由于签证过期滞留在美国的。

The federal government is currently in a partial shutdown over Trump’s insistence on $5 billion in funding for his long-promised wall a sum Democrats and some Republicans have refused to budge on. Graham has been vocal in his support of the president’s decision to allow the shutdown to commence over the dispute tweeting last week “It’s right to fight for wall funding… Let’s dig in!”

目前，联邦政府陷入了暂时性的停摆。民主党，以及部分共和党成员反对就特朗普耗资50亿美元的边境墙项目编列预算。特朗普打算以此次的政府停摆为契机，着手解决分歧。格雷厄姆直言不讳地表达了他对总统的支持，并在推特中说道，“为边境墙争取经费是正确的，让我们来全力以赴吧！”

That's right. Radical Muslims are going to fly to Guatemala then walk 1500 miles to try to sneak into the US.
The 9/11 hijackers came in from Canada and they came in legally.

说得真是对极了（反讽）。激进的穆斯林将飞往危地马拉，然后徒步1500英里试图潜入美国。911劫机者从加拿大进入美国，但他们是合法进入的。

Joaquin Aja
Danger from radical Islamists pales by comparison with the danger from radical "religious" conservatives. How about a wall from North Carolina to enclose S. Carolina and Soutern states to include Texas?

与激进的“宗教”保守派相比，来自激进分子的危险完全是小巫见大巫。不如从北卡罗莱纳州围墙至南卡罗莱纳州（包括德克萨斯州）？

Donato C Rinaldi Jr.
LMAO. Latin America is almost 100% Christian. They need to build a wall to keep Americans out of their countries.

笑死我了。拉丁美洲几乎全是基督教徒。他们需要建的是道让美国人出不了美国的墙才是。

George Juego
Yes Amercians who can no longer afford to live in United States. Have you done you taxes yet. The GOP tax laws really screwed the middle-class.

是的，美国人再也住不起美国了。你税交好没？共和党（新）税法真是害惨了中产阶级。

Todd Aldrich
George Juego Horse hockey - the GOP gave you ALL tax breaks and good ones - if you did'n't see it - FIRE your tax preparer.

网友George Juego，你简直是在一派胡言，共和党新税法减免优惠都有，如果你不知道的话，炒了帮你做税的报税人吧。

Donato C Rinaldi Jr.
Todd Aldrich False. My wife and I got nothing. My daughter got nothing. I have over 200 friends who got nothing. Don't spread GOP propaganda and lies.

网友Todd Aldrich，谎话连篇。我老婆和我什么优惠减免都没享受到。我女儿也没享受到。我200多个朋友也没享受到。别乱散播共和党的虚假宣传和谎言。

George Juego
Is Senator Lindsey devoling to becoming a rabid dog like rudy giuliani?

参议院林赛会变成鲁迪·朱利安尼那样的疯狗吗？

Beth Rogers
TO me his comment was reinforcing that the wall was NOT a defense against radical Islam - the last line of defense - as in if we can't stop them before this we have no chance to stop them.

在我看来，他的推文是在强调，这道墙并不是防御激进分子的一道防线，更别说是最后一道防线了，这说得好像我们之前有成功阻止过他们入境一样，我们根本没机会阻止他们。

go ahead build your fence or wall or whatever with private money..............drug cartels that can tunnel 1 mile or more 80 ft down and come up in a specific cell in a prison will have no trouble breaching it................and the coyote's will develop new methods for breaching whatever you put up.................they would be better off HIRING AMERICANS to defend the border..........................idiots

篱笆，围墙，不管你把它叫什么，你就可劲地造吧，反正花的是纳税人的钱……毒贩们挖的地道能长达1英里，甚至更远，深达80英尺（约24.4米）。就算他们被关在监狱的特设牢房里也能越狱，轻而易举翻过那道破墙……组织偷渡的蛇头们总会想出新的方法通过你们设置的任何障碍……与其建造围墙，还不如雇佣活人去守卫边境……真是群笨蛋。

Joan Nelson
Every time I think your brain has rejuvenated you start that coo coo stuff. Did you really need McCaine to tether you to reality?😘😘

每当我觉得你脑子总算恢复清明的时候，你就尽干出一些疯狂的事情来。真需要麦凯恩把你拉回到现实中来么?

The senator from south carolina should know about terorist. But cough all the terrorist attacks in south carolina since trump took office have been by white male chrisitans cough. Maybe the FBI should keep an eye on him.

这位南卡罗来纳州的参议员需要去了解恐怖分子。虽然自特朗普上任以来，南卡罗来纳州发生的所有恐怖袭击都是由信奉基督教的白人男性造成的。也许FBI应该留意的是他。

Chuck Siler
does ol' graham kkkracker even know where the middle east is.. hint.. not south of our border and the one's who actually need to be deported or incarcerated are white and born here

他知道中东在哪里么…给个提示…它不在我们的南方。真正应该被驱逐出境，或者关进监狱的是出生在这里的白人。

Bob Brousseau
Mexico is 83% Roman Catholic. Muslims should stand out like a sore thumb espe silly the radicalized dangerous ones.
Illegal immigration from Mexico is DOWN 90% over the last 10 years (based on yearly illegal border crossings).

83%的墨西哥人信奉罗马天主教，他们当中的穆斯林很难隐藏自己，特别是危险的激进分子。根据每年的非法入境次数统计，在过去的十年中，来自墨西哥的非法移民人数下降了90%。

Illegal border crossings is the major but not the only method of illegal immigration from Mexico. 15% to 40% of illegal Mexican immigration comes from over-staying legitimate visas. Thetes also fake marriages airlines human smuggling and trafficking sea port entrance tunneling under the existing wall and fences and the Canadian border.

非法越境是主要的，但不是从墨西哥非法移民到美国的唯一手段。除了15%到40%的人是依靠签证过期以外，还有人通过虚假婚姻，人口贩卖等方式，经过空中、海港、地道以及加拿大边境进入美国。

Trump wants to "build a wall" another major construction project funneling billions (initially; most projects over-run by up to 10 times the original estimate) into another Trump Project that will no doubt leave the construction companies in the black.

特朗普想要建造的这堵墙，是一项耗资几十亿美元的大型工程项目（几十亿是最初的估计，大多数工程的花费往往是原先估计的10倍）。和特朗普以往的工程一样，建筑公司毫无疑问会赚个盆满钵满。

Kudos to everyone in Congress trying to stop or change this grandiose future major fail demand by someone the likes of Donald Trump.
Regarding his promises I use the rule-of-thumb of: "How can you tell that President Donald Trump is lying? Answer: His lips are moving."

这项由特朗普的一丘之貉们提出的浮夸的大型计划，是注定会失败的。对于那些在国会中试图反对和修改它的人，我表示由衷的感谢。不管特朗普说得如何天花乱坠，我只根据一条经验来判断他是不是在说谎，那就是：只要他的嘴唇在动，他就是在撒谎。（意思是特朗普没一句真话）

Now after being caught on who created this radical islamist in syria and elsewhere it won't be impossible to create one in Mexican border to justify this border wall but unfortunately for them the lie won't be able to make it.

在他们被发现是叙利亚极端组织的幕后黑手之后，在墨西哥边境故技重施并非不可能，这样一来，边境墙的正当性就能得到证明了。不幸的是，谎言不会再奏效了。

It's OVER Lindsey!

都结束了，林赛！

These guys have no clue. 🤦🏽

这些人简直一窍不通。

Lord have mercy. This weird thinking is getting out of hand. As a Canadian I feel so sorry for you folks. Thirty percent of Americans salivate at the thought of finally banning brown and black people in an effort to make America White Again. They worship at the feet of a small segment of alt-right envangelical radio TV and newspaper hate mongering media and nutcases like Graham. Then there are the 70 percent of decent American men and women still intelligent enough to support the honesty and integrity of almost every major newspaper in the country three national broadcast outlets and two cable news outlets who have long passed the time they feel they have to cover for the idiot in the White House just because of his office. They now all are calling the lying fool that he is.

愿上帝宽恕我们。这股荒唐的思潮已经变得不可收拾了。作为一个加拿大人，我真为你们感到难过。一想到能禁止棕色或黑色皮肤的人入境，30%的美国人就各种流口水，因他们一直想要“让美国再次变白”。他们在一小撮的另类右翼广播电视台、报纸、煽动仇恨情绪的媒体、以及像格雷厄姆这种疯子的脚下顶礼膜拜。还好剩下的70%的美国人仍然是理智的，他们支持那些诚实而正直的媒体，比如美国几乎每一州的主流报纸，三大全国广播公司，两大有线新闻公司。尽管特朗普是我们的总统，这些媒体都已经厌倦了替白宫里的这位白痴殿下擦屁股，转而称他为“一个爱说谎话的傻瓜”。

Lytchcov Zammana
And Trudeau is upset that we're sending them a bit farther north. Your accusation that it's all about "banning brown and black people" is absurd. I work in a profession with a high-percentage of "brown and black people" and we all get along just fine.

加拿大人并没有在这件事情上获得优待，禁止入境不仅仅是针对“棕色和黑色皮肤的人”的，你的指责是荒谬的。我与众多棕色和黑色皮肤的同事一起工作，我们相处地非常融洽。

What we don't want are people coming to the US remaining unidientified living in the woodwork feeling immune to the laws that the rest of us have to abide by - and that's regardless of color.

我们不需要的是那些没有身份证明的、住在临时搭建的木屋里的不法之徒，这与肤色没有关系。

i think that everyone with half a brain knows that you have to watch out for those radical islam mexicans

连弱智都知道要提防那些墨西哥激进分子。

Diana Morgan
Lytchcov Zammana Well if you want to defend yourself at least attempt to use some facts. You now have 150000 illegal Canadians living in the USA all crossing the border and simply staying without penalty. There are also about the same number of Englishmen and 50000 Irish. I do not see any arrests or any of these lovely white people being deported. Yes you may get on joyously with your black and brown colleagues but I bet they have been in America for awhile. The point is current Trump / Republican immigration policy is an attempt to stop any more black and brown people coming in. As well every yes every radical Islamic terrorist to date has crossed the Canadian border to do their evil deeds. None have come across the Mexican border. Some petty criminal maybe. Radical Islamic terrorists not so much.

网友Lytchcov Zammana：如果你想为自己的观点辩护，至少要列出一些事实。现在有15万的加拿大人非法居住在美国和加拿大边境，他们没有遭受任何刁难（罚款）。另外还有同等数量的英国人和5万爱尔兰人。我没有看到这些白人中的任何一个被捕，或是被驱逐。当然，也许你可以和黑色或棕色皮肤的同事们友好相处，但是我敢打赌他们已经在美国居住一段时间了，而不是新进的移民。问题是，目前特朗普和共和党的移民政策旨在阻止任何黑色或棕色皮肤的人进入美国。同时，激进分子一直越过加拿大边境来干坏事。也许一些颜值高的罪犯会选择通过美墨边境，但激进分子通常不会选择那里。

The most egregious and wasteful spending of our time... absolutely useless.
Asians on birth tourism who fly in droves to California... and create anchor babies... don't see you building a wall to keep China and Japan out. SMH.

这是一笔糟糕透顶，奢侈浪费的开销.....完全没有意义。那些以生育旅游为目的的亚洲人会直接飞往加利福尼亚，然后在那里生下宝宝，以此来取得美国国籍。也没见你建堵墙阻止这些中国人和日本人入境啊。/摇头

Salvador Jimenez
What I don't understand is WHY the US is so terrified that the Arab lslamists would want to attack our country after we went there to destabilize 7 Arab nations in order to kill or remove their elected leaders in a quasi non belligerant nations enjoying a relative peace? After all "we were there uninvited to defend them" from the very terrorists we helped recruit and pay? The innocent civilans we killed over 1.7 million were just collateral damage.

我不能理解的是，在我们跑去入侵了7个本来相安无事阿拉伯国家，破坏它们的稳定，杀害或赶走他们通过选举上台的领导人以后，为什么美国如此害怕那些阿拉伯穆斯林分子会攻击我们的国家？毕竟，我们是“自告奋勇地去帮助它们”的，去对付那些是我们自己付钱招募的恐怖分子。那些被我们杀害的170万无辜平民仅仅只是附带损伤而已。

Marlene Newman
All the Jihadis will be kept out of the country by the 2000-mile-long anti-rapist wall that Trump is going to make Mexico pay for.

靠它把所有的圣战者挡在外面？这堵2000英里长的破墙只能挡住强奸犯，更可笑的是，特朗普还打算让墨西哥来买单。
