me2 – I know. One foot in front of the other, and remember we still have the House.

I think it would better suit the Americans wishes if they told all the illegals to go home within 30 days, that they can come back in 6 months . . and while they’re gone, build a HUGE fence. MUWahahahahahaha

These are no token offers they have no intent to pass.
