Build the Wall.

Trump and Company need to stand firm or they will regret it...It won’t be easy and I fully expect most of the republicans to cave.

The Bush’s need to go back into hiding. I never was a Bush fan but I never thought they would do this to the republican Party.

I worry the onslaught of media coverage about "separating families" is simply covering up the real reasons why tens of thousands of children are being brought here without their family.

That's part of it. The other part of it is a complete red herring. There shouldn't be anything controversial about "separating children from their families" when people who commit any illegal act are detained. If you commit a theft and are incarcerated, you don't get to take your kids to jail with you. The same should apply if you break the country's laws by coming here illegally. The so-called controversy around this issue is just mass hysteria whipped up by the media about something that ought to be a non-issue.
