        Facts are facts. If these people wanted to better their lives they wouldn’t be hurting Mexican feds, they wouldn’t be trashing Mexico. Breaking down fences. Etc. We tax payers welcome the military and the wall. To you we say BUILD THAT WALL.

        Pelosi says she has “100 percent” confidence she’ll win speakership. Two Dems leading rebellion against her say based on their conversations, they are “100 percent” confident she won’t have votes. They claim they’ll soon release letter listing detractors https://www-m.cnn.com/2018/11/13/politics/nancy-pelosi-speaker-opposition-rebellion-house-democrats/index.html …

        "To appease his white nationalist supporters?" That is insulting to regular citizens who have concerns about people disrespecting our borders & the process of immigrating the fair way. Border security needs support. How dare you call us white supremacists. You don't know us.
