Great point!!! Boarder jumpers aren’t arrested but try jumping into Barry’s “safe space” and they’ll arrest your ass.

Are they sure it wasn't hillary celebrating early in anticipation of her delusional belief that she will occupy the white house?

I’m still curious about what he had in that 3-ring binder he was carrying.

Secret plans to save the economy?

Lists of terrorists in the government?

Locations of alien space bases?

Why a lockdown? Seems Obama “overreacted” to an American flag-draped pilgrim seeking refuge.

I have to wonder if they’ll keep the fence spikes after the first guy to go “hold muh beer” slips and impales himself. Certainly will make for some gruesome pictures as he wriggles around, sliding deeper down.

I know of a guy that was recently described as someone willing to swim across the moat at night with a knife in his teeth and fight back.

Judge a manby his action ,rather than his words .
The only respect the White Hut has for 'soverignty', is around the White house
Why does he expose us to pestilence and disease from the 60's, and yet he remains behind a wall ?
Supposedly , walls and Borders don't matter !!

Gee, Barry, why don’t you let thousands into the WH - you can put up tents on the grass. Oh, you’re afraid one of them might really be a terrorist? Chicken? “It’s not who we are.”

I want to vomit every time he says WE...who is this WE because it doesn’t include ME, a born, bred and loyal American.

Nancy Pelosi agrees with me. This whole event looks ‘Astro-Turfed’. A fake piece of theater designed to give the Secret Service a chance for redemption in the public eye.
Wasn’t security breeched a few years ago, by some 45 y/o male citizen who hopped the fence, walked through the front door and into the lobby before anything was done?
