That looks like a very nice breakfast!!

We were excited about the Kansas Secretary of State endorsing Mr. T yesterday.

I thought the part from the article was interesting:

“Finally, on the subject of building the wall on our southern border, Mr. Trump is correct when he says that the United States has the ability to compel Mexico to pay for it. As I have discussed with Mr. Trump, the PATRIOT Act contains a provision that the United States can and should use as leverage with the Government of Mexico. We have the ability to shut down the flow of remittances to Mexico from illegal aliens working in the United States. Mexico will have to make a choice: either make a single payment of $5-10 billion to the United States to pay for the wall, or lose most of the $23 billion in remittances that Mexico receives every year from its nationals working in the United States.”

The border is a huge concern of mine.

That is a great statement. It makes it very clear how Mexico can/will pay for the wall, and that the method exists now within existing law.

That begs the question: If it is possible, through the Patriot Act, to shut down the flow of money to Mexico, why hasn’t it been done already? The Patriot Act has existed since Bush 43 but nothing has been done. Another major failure of the PTB in DC, including GOP.
