Remember when executive overreach was a thing?

Journal by DeathMonkey

Well the good news is that most congresscritters do, and Trump's fake-ass emergency was rejected.

41 Republican Senators and 182 Republican House Representatives, on the other hand, just proved how completely full of crap they are.

    I won't exactly argue against any of that. But, in Tucson, Arizona, the Pima County coroner says he recovers an average of five bodies PER WEEK. Fewer in the winter, more in the summer, average, five bodies PER WEEK. For humanitarian reasons alone, our greatest efforts at cracking down on immigration should be at the border.

    Keep in mind now - that is just ONE border county. I've never looked to see how many US counties border on Mexico. That is, I don't know how many times to multiply those five bodies PER WEEK.

    Close the god damned border, stop enticing people to make that run, for the promise of welfare and maybe a decent job. The number of people who die trying to sneak through an airport are microscopic, compared to the dead people at the southern border. And, to sweeten things up for you - the dead are women as often as not.

    Don't you dare try and make this sound like some sort of self-propelled humanitarian crisis. There wouldn't *be* such a crisis if the US hadn't had a century-old-plus history of meddling in Latin America and, as stated above, an insatiable hunger for effectively slave labor from these people.

      You are often an arrogant little bitch - but don't YOU DARE to tell me what I dare. I dare, and if you insist, I can whip out my Humanitarian Awards to trump all of your bullshit stories.

        Eat shit. They gave Dubya and Obama Nobel Peace Prizes, so at this point I don't trust *anything* along the lines of "humanitarian awards."
