  2. What a frigging depressing story. All those individuals "detained" and then what? When are they going to learn that you just have to kill them? Sure it still leaves other assholes to kill but at least those assholes are dead.

  4. our real problem is right here, until we address the demand it's our kids who will get it from somewhere. We could use our military at the border but addressing the constitutional issues would take an act of our congress that can't agree on anything but their next pay raise when our income is just going down
