Since the Great Recession, more undocumented immigrants have left the United States than have entered it, and illegal border crossings are at the lowest levels they have been in decades.
…
Research shows that illegal immigrants increase the size of the U.S. economy, contribute to economic growth, enhance the welfare of natives, contribute more in tax revenue than they collect, reduce American firms’ incentives to offshore jobs and import foreign-produced goods, and benefit consumers by reducing the prices of goods and services. Economists estimate that legalization of the illegal immigrant population would increase the immigrants’ earnings and consumption considerably, and increase U.S. gross domestic product
There is no evidence that illegal immigration increases the rate of crime in the United States. There is scholarly consensus that illegal immigrants commit less crime than natives. Sanctuary cities – which adopt policies designed to not prosecute people solely for being in the country illegally – have no statistically meaningful impact on crime or reduce the crime rate. Research suggests that immigration enforcement has no impact on crime rates.
If Trump stood on Pence’s shoulders to look over the wall, they would (together) add up to be half a man. Conservative pundit George Will, way back when: “Whoever would agree to be Donald Trump’s running mate would be unqualified, because he would think that Trump was qualified.” Oh, and by the way, NO jokes about Pelosi’s “you don’t associate manhood with Trump” comment yesterday?
Trump is ousted for conspiracy and felonies. Followed by Pense for his own ties to the Russians. Nancy Pelosi as Speaker becomes 46th president. She appoints Hillary Rodham Clinton as VP. Then resigns the next day. Hillary Clinton becomes the 47th president.And the world is new again.
First thing that came to mind was a line from Pink Floyd’s The Wall last track I think, “mad bugger’s wall”, from the stanza And when they’ve given you their allSome stagger and fall, after all it’s not easyBanging your heart against some mad bugger’s wall
My next thought was, after looking at the picture better, give what he wants. As in, take him downstairs for a sample from that ‘Cask of Amontillado’

Pence is kinda creepy, just sitting there and saying nothing. Just waiting……and waiting……and waiting. Sorta like Madame deFarge.

Everything Trump and the GOP do is Anti-American and Anti-Revolutionary.
