It is my job. I'm good. I'm considered an expert in what I do, the top people in the country know who I am. The team I lead is, quite frankly, the best. Other countries ask for our services. I get paid a fraction of what I could make in private industry. My family believes in public service.
Trump's proposal to steal money to fund his wall will inhibit my ability to do these things for you. You will be less safe, not more. It's not bullshit boogiemen from Mexico I fix, I fix real things that hurt people. I won't be able to do it now.
That is what is at stake.

(17,169 posts)I can't even begin to imagine your anger and frustration at the malevolent actions of this administration. We all play a part, large or small in forging a cohesive society that protects and nurtures its members. If Trump can't look after the folk who play a large part, what hope is there for the rest of us.
