House committee, that is. Strikes me that there is a cost, in general, for a country to secure it's border. Especially a country with so many miles. He is trying to attribute it all to stopping people from sneaking in.

You probably forgot to add it on. Do like Trump and preface with "at least". That should keep it accurate.

I have a lot of therapy and a long winter ahead before I'm well again, but it's nice to be home. Get a pneumonia shot, it's deadly and it's quick. So many family members showed up I began asking if the doctors said something I didn't know. It turns out they kind of did.

To add: DUer Samplegirl is taking pretty good care of me. Chicken paprakosh yesterday.

Thanx for asking.

My brain is just pre-wired that way. I read the rebuttal, but have no interest in cluttering my brain with a traitor's nonsense.

Is like making fun of chocolate chip cookies for having chocolate chips. It's too easy, but it must be done!

is all of the money going to the privatized prisons. It seems as if ICE spends more time inland than near the border.

This war on illegal immigration is similar to the war on drugs. Follow the money.

If any of his followers on Twitter see this it might make a difference. They are not media so can't be called Fake News.
