btw, if and when the President says he will do this, he WILL do this.
You know, I wish I could believe that. You seem to forget that he's a politician just like the rest of them in Washington. I REALLY want him to mean it because I want the border near my home to actually be secured, my neighborhood to be safer, my taxes to go down, the local trauma center to re-open, the OB GYN clinics to re-open, etc. I hate having my daughter stand at a bus stop a short block away from a popular and dangerous human smuggling load pick up point. I don't like my kids riding their bicycles on neighborhood streets that are used by human and drug smugglers and which have been the scene of high speed car chases. I don't like being harassed by border intruders when I camp with my family. I don't like being chased by human smugglers who try to run me off the road and yell at me, "we're going to kill you, m*****f*****!" I don't like my friends being beaten and nearly strangled to death in the parking lot of my daughter's elementary school as illegal aliens steal their car. I don't like my elected officials becoming corrupt and falling under the influence of a foreign government, human trafficking cartels, and a widespread criminal enterprise which employs and exploits laborers.
Dammit! I want the President to mean it this time. But I will complain loudly if I find that he doesn't really mean it. His actions will prove or disprove his words. We'll see...
