What humanitarian crisis?

Thu., Jan. 17, 2019

From where I sit, the “humanitarian crisis” appears to be in the Oval Office of the White House. With a president who has temper tantrums, has knee-jerk reactions, perpetuates hate and mistrust, who freely offers lies and falsehoods to the American people, constantly creating chaos, does not exhibit decent behavior at home or abroad - well that looks like crisis to me.

To protect the American people, to conserve landowner water rights, decrease expense and maintenance, to release the government workers being held hostage, rebuild relationships with world partners, and to meet the presidents, need I propose like many others that the wall is built around Donald Trump himself. I am sure Mexico would be willing to contribute to this wall - as would I.
