The President is ONE man and the only president in DECADES who's taking on this no win situation ... he'll get pummeled from both sides ..he can't win, don't you see that? And yet he's got the spine to suffer the attacks all sides, and take it on in a reasoned way for the greatest good possible.
He DOESN'T control Congress .. YOU do .. with your activism, your commitment, your voice in your CongressCritter's ear and mailbox, and you're NOT a victim, if you exercise your precious vote in the spirit of what and who's your authentic representative of what's right for US .... a vote brave men and women are bleeding and dying tonight to preserve for YOU.
If you throw away this privilege, you're part of the problem, and you do it at your (and all of our) peril.
It's not a no-win situation at all. He could advocate the building of a security fence and be pretty much done with it.
