"Legislators, politicians, policy wonks & media outlets who want the law changed use words that obfuscate to shape the ground the way they want it.

That begs the question: why don’t you just change the law?

The answer is obvious: they don’t have the support of the people.

So this is an end-run around congress.

Which is an end-run around the citizen’s of this nation who still believe in nations & sovereignty.

Two important questions follow:

1. Why?
2. To what end?

The borders of this country are like a femoral artery that has been severed by our own hands.

America as a nation is bleeding out while leaders on both sides stand and watch, yelling for more life rafts and life jackets….never doing a thing to stop the bleeding."
