The gunman who killed 38 people in an attack on a beach resort is believed to have received training in Libya.

Why can’t we do this along our southern border? (rhetorical question) I already know we can’t because the democrats need votes and the C of C needs cheap labor.

Maybe Obama could skip some of his vacations to pay for the wall since he is the one who cased the collapse of Libya.
