But they should be here legally," said Mary Elko, 56, who wants Trump to deliver on his promise of building the border wall. She wants him to come through on jobs, too.
"It's all you see on the news and I'm getting tired of it," Elko said of Russia before walking into Jimmy's Quick Lunch, an institution here for 80 years, known for its chili dogs. "I hope it's not true. Ever since he got to be president, they've been picking on him for every little thing."

Maybe Rich would like to take whatever extensive information he has about TrumPutin and let our intelligence communities know. I'm quite sure these professionals 20-40 years in the business will take the advice of an unemployed forklift driver and back off our poor beleaguered Gilded Groper once and for all!
