"Well thats just crazy talk."
You think so? The American people want a fence on the southern border. Any politician that talks tough about securing the southern border gets a huge boost in polls. It's what we, Americans, want. There are citizens who have taken to patroling the border on a volunteer basis. No pay, no credit, no support. They do it out of a desire to preserve their country.
Our "leaders" don't want the border closed. It's not closed. The money appropriated to border security will not be used to build a fence.
And you say it's crazy to say we are powerless to direct our leaders? I think you may be the one who's missing the point here.
We are not powerless.
Americans need to participate in our constitutional system, and thats just not happening. If they did, there'd be a cartload of politicians impeached, and/or imprisoned right now. We are not powerless, but we are not using our power.
Get off the stick everybody! Our constitutional republic depends on it!
