However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

The Texas Senate primary between Colin Allred, James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett is turning ugly. Why? Democrats infight instead of focusing on the bigger goal. Drop the name-calling. Beat a weak GOP incumbent. Show your best. Let voters decide. Unity wins elections. Infighting loses them.
Texas Senate primary candidate Talarico responds to allegations he called fellow Dem 'mediocre Black man'
Allred endorsed Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Texas Senate Democratic primary.

And if we get kids to just skip high school and start working at 13, imagine the economic growth!
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."
