Trump and Republicans are going to make the US into a pariah. Think of 1.1 million students (customers) not going to US universities. Lost: $40 Billion and 368,000 workers to the US economy.

Presented as a means to “restore the rule of law” to the United States’ southern border, hundreds of miles of border walls have been erected by successive presidential administrations. This new book claims it is the walls themselves that transcend the law: https://www.texasobserver.org/the-lawless-border-wall/

“…tucked away in section 6B of #Trump’s day-one #ExecutiveOrder declaring a national emergency at the southern border was this pearl… :

‘Within 90 days of the date of this proclamation, the Secy of Defense & the Secy of Homeland Security shall submit a joint report…about the conditions … & any recommendations regarding additional actions that may be necessary…, including whether to invoke the #InsurrectionAct of 1807.’”

“He was eighteen years old, and while that might legally mean that he’s an adult, it was clear to me that he was just a kid in a terrible situation who had no idea why he was being punished so harshly.”
