running over this country like a freight train.

We pretty much don't exist to the power at the top & they're not surrendering what they have just walked thru the door and taken.
The only laws are their laws.

What about the NY, Montana or Florida borders? If we are to believe it's effectiveness, why aren't all States offered the same

"protection"? Such bullshit. I want my Senators to fight for a piece of that wall money too, priced by the mile. Come on Sen Schumer,

let us fight for our border "protection" too. Lets price the freaking thing out of existence or make the GOP pony up.

I live at the border in San Diego and never go to Tijuana since Tecate is so much more cool to me. An artist put this on the border crossing down there and it is great.

I was at the protest at the wall prototypes when the moron came to CA about 6 months. The police, sheriffs and SWAT officers outnumbered the protesters 2:1. It was ridiculous.
