Far-right political pundit³ Ann Coulter slammed President Donald Trump's new immigration plan Thursday in a series of tweets, demonstrating the frustration of some hardline conservatives with regard to promises the president has not kept.

极右翼政治评论家安·库尔特周四在一系列推特上抨击了唐纳德·特朗普总统的新移民计划，显示出一些强硬保守派对总统未能兑现的承诺感到失望。

Trump's new immigration proposal would pump money into bolstering⁴ border security, prioritize highly skilled immigrants over family reunifications and restrict "meritless" asylum⁵ claims.

川普的新移民提案将向加强边境安全投入大量资金，优先考虑高技能移民，而不是家庭团聚，并限制“无价值”的庇护申请。

"Our proposal is pro-American, pro-immigrant and pro-worker," Trump said during a press conference in the White House rose garden.

“我们的提议是支持美国人、移民和工人，”川普在白宫玫瑰园举行的新闻发布会上说。

"It's just common sense."

“这只是常识。”

Coulter, who supported Trump — even writing a book in 2016 called In Trump We Trust —

库尔特支持特朗普，甚至在2016年写了一本名为《我们信任的特朗普》的书，

until early 2019, when the commentator⁶ determined⁷ the president had failed to deliver on his border wall campaign promise, fired off many complaints that the wall was not included.

直到2019年初，这位评论员认定总统未能兑现他的边境墙竞选承诺，引发许多抱怨，称这堵墙没有被包括在内。

"The word 'wall' has not crossed the president's lips, lambchop," Coulter tweeted.

库尔特在推特上写道:“‘墙’这个词还没有从总统的嘴里蹦出来。”

"Only BS euphemisms⁸ that mean 'You're Never Getting a Wall' -- e.g.'border security!'"

“只有一些委婉的说法，意思是‘你永远不会有一堵墙’。边境安全!”

Coulter also mocked Trump by presenting an "I.Q.test" on chants at his campaign rallies:

库尔特还嘲笑特朗普，在竞选集会上对口号进行了“智商测试”:

"Make the border operationally secure!" "Develop border security programs!" "Invest in technology at the border!" and finally, "BUILD THE WALL!"

“确保边境行动安全!” “发展边境安全计划!”“在边境上投资技术!”最后，“修建边境墙!”
