I can't watch T talking around the Canadian PM like the man isn't sitting right next to him. T has no social skills. And someone tell Vance to close his legs and sit like a civilized man.

A seemingly innocuous NJ man (judging by his profile) just posted on FB that the Rio Grande needs hundreds of alligators swarming in it so no one would try crossing it...and 2.6k people agreed with him.
It amazes me how few people truly understand why people make the hazardous trip to the border.

So ICE shows up and tells US citizens they must leave the country regardless of citizenship. WHERE are they supposed to go?? What happens to their personal property? Homes? Cars? Pets? Are they still required to pay taxes? What about their retirement savings? What if they are disabled?

If the Trump administration says they can't get El Salvadore as a sovereign nation to release people wrongly incarcerated but they can somehow take over the Panama Canal and Greenland, what does that say about this administration?
