    I know all too well the dangers of presidents issuing sweeping orders in the name of “national security” as Trump just threatened. FDR—a Democrat—issued an order that put 120,000 people including me and my family into barbed wire camps. It can happen here. It has happened before.

        My son is a Marine. If Trump goes Martial Law and turns our Military against the American People, I’d be forced to stand across a line in the sand from my own son. I’m terrified.

        I don't see any mention of a wall in the poem engraved in the statue of liberty's base. Building a wall is against everything this country has stood for for 242 years. And in case you missed it, there are children in cages at the border. So it's not quite the same but close.

        But do you see that the poem says “I lift my lamp beside the golden DOOR”, it doesn’t mention sneaking in by climbing illegally through the back window while nobody’s looking!

        Boom! It’s almost as if these people don’t know what Ellis Island is/was. Which is why it’s so funny to me when they bring up Lady Liberty

        Of course we know what Ellis Island was. We also know that no wall is going to keep out all the people who fly in and overstay their visas. We need legitimate immigration reform, not a stupid expensive wall that won't stop anyone with any grit.

        If Trump gets away with abusing his commander-in-chief powers like this on American soil, it will mean that martial law & a Trump gulag are not far behind. Trump's delicate orange skin is simply too thin for him to handle *any* civil dissent.pic.twitter.com/aYXXQLTNkV

        Yep. Been saying it since he announced his candidacy. He has suffered from a serious mental illness for many, many years & was never equipped for this job. Now he sees the only way he can hang onto power is by disabling the machinery of our republic, so that's what he'll do.pic.twitter.com/ta2iMWUtLP

        And then ask ... how much money$ is the CLOWN&CHIEF making off of these facilities?...because you know he is!!! I’m going to place a bet, right now, that Mueller or the HSE DEMS will indicate in their investigations that there is a connection when their reports come out!🤷🏽‍♀️😡👊🏼
