Big difference.
6 months of empty threats has become pathetic and sad to watch.
My dream would have chuck the schmuck being arrested too.
Peehaps. His base elected him so he could shut down the Democrat party’s illegal immigration schemes though and that means a confrontation with California. I have no problem with work visas but I have a big problem with it leading to citizenship and facilitating democrats further subverting the constitution.
