Yes, I have missed it. My apologies to Mr. O'Reilly if he's been involved in this issue. But I can't understand why this border issue can't seem to gain currency. Especially these days, I would think there would be a massive uprising to all this. I'm assuming the masses don't know because nobody's really reporting it. I can't believe the public at large doesn't care - maybe everyone simply feels powerless so they don't even try to petition their government.
The sector of the masses that would really care about this are too busy working all the time trying to provide the essentials of life for themselves and their families to avail themselves to the facts surrounding this issue, or any other. Those that have the time to think about and get involved with these things are only into personal instant gratification. This state of affairs is just fine and dandy with the elites who run the country. In fact, it's part of their plan to destroy America as we know it.
Unfortunately, the head of the federal government, our President, doesn't think it's his job either.
