*If you’re going to arrest the illegal employees, why not their employers???
*Will Trump change the rules again???
*Is this the President’s objective???
NOTE: While we are doing our best to provide coverage, the above is a serious, ongoing issue. Especially since no one has yet to discuss the costs of separating families and who is truly responsible for the deaths of FOUR detainees (known to date), let alone if anyone might actually be making a profit from this situation.
