I wonder if Colorado will sue Trump for killing the future migrants to their cities since they only are trying to find work and a better way for their families here.

It probably was a sad day for narco terrorist sympathizers.
And a great day for everyone else.

And sleepers may want to stay asleep.

The life they save may be their own..
