WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA…
THE BORDER WALL-KIDS-IMMIGRATION ISSUES…
*With families being separated upon apprehension, President Trump declared the lack of a border wall a “national emergency”. There have since been legal and legislative battles initiated over this. But what about the health/safety of all the “detainees”???
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.

*The state of your state, from two different sources. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*Over 16 million cases nationally since start of pandemic, with America nearing 300,000 deaths!
IT’S FACT CHECK TIME!

MEANWHILE, IN CONGRESS…
