Any “republican” or “conservative” politician who is still spouting the compassion hogwash about the illegal immigration issue is taking an active part in the destruction of our republic. Complicit or just stupid, it makes no difference!
I’m guessing that if the next attempt at an attack on the US is successful, especially if it occurs in DC, and it can be proven that it was carried out by someone who came into the country illegally, over the border from Mexico, the politicians just MIGHT get serious about border security. Otherwise they’ll continue to sit, fat, dumb, and happy, in their Congressional offices tut-tutting about how un-compassionate we out here are.
