@MarkHerringVA Please also inquire re pressure on detainees to surrender documents---may've been used as pretext to treat ppl as not covered

Apparently people have been pressure to turn in their green card prior to landing, and then treated as undocumented. Hmm

This is fascinating. An old video of Reagan and Bush debating how to deal with illegal immigrants. You won't believe how compassionate they sound. And these are republicans..!! Shock

I seriously think he wants to be impeached. He didn't want to be POTUS. He just wanted to win the game. Pence will take over as was the plan all along.

What do you think? It isn't symuch a crazy thought is it?
