During the uproar about the kidnapped kids, ICE made an announcement that did not get much press.
the ICE spokesman said that "naturalized" Hispanic Americans were going to have their citizenship examined because of insufficient paperwork, described it more or less that forms years ago did not ask questions as new forms do.
The spokesman said it would only affect a couple thousand citizens.
thus today we see part of what he meant: we haven't heard about the people still in USA, yet.

U.S. is denying passports to Americans along the border, throwing their citizenship into question
The Trump administration is accusing hundreds, and possibly thousands, of Hispanics along the border of using fraudulent birth certificates since they were babies, and it is undertaking a widespread crackdown.
In a statement, the State Department said that it “has not changed policy or practice regarding the adjudication of passport applications,” adding that “the U.S.-Mexico border region happens to be an area of the country where there has been a significant incidence of citizenship fraud.”
But cases identified by The Washington Post and interviews with immigration attorneys suggest a dramatic shift in both passport issuance and immigration enforcement.

He keeps pacing back and forth by the nike, applauding himself, altho most of the visible audience around him is not clapping, just waving their signs.
With no sound, the visuals really stand out.
anyone hear how many showed up?
I am watching Trump trying to milk his rally audience for more adulation.

This is really quite magnificent, folks. Very significant.
VoteVets reminds members of armed forces about their oath to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Wal-Mart has a 30 day drug list for 4.00 per script, which was 6 pages long, and covered most conditions.
That is now down to 2 pages, or 2/3 less drugs on it.
Meanwhile, the drugs I paid 30.00 per month, cash, are over 50.00.
of the 3 remaining pharmacies in town, Wal-greens is the most expensive, by far, then Wal-mart now, then a local place.
We used to have 3 local places, much cheaper, until Wal-mart and Wal-green moved in.
It's price gouging, but we have no enforceable regulatory officials to stop it.
Prescription prices have climbed since July. More Trump leeching effect.
