1. Democrats and GOP and trump AT THE TIME had an agreement 3 weeks ago, Pelosi and Schumer

3. The main stream media is NOT acknowledging it. Soooooo frustrating.

2. It is indeed an old idea.

Like Hadrian's Wall, or The Great Wall of China. The only one I can think of in existence now is in Israel, and it is an immorality. It's not a good permanent solution, does not look good to the rest of the world and indicates disfunction.

The Con wants to drag us back to the ancient times.

4. Morality aside. Israel is a wee bit smaller than the USA

5. that, too! n/t

6. The Dems need to rub his nose in

the fact that his fooking golfing club in New Jersey has been giving its illegal workers fake green cards and s.s numbers.
