THE BORDER WALL-KIDS-IMMIGRATION ISSUES…

*It’s still an issue, but hopefully one that will be handled better now.

NOTE: While we are doing our best to provide coverage, the above is a serious, ongoing issue. Especially since no one has yet to fully discuss the health and safety of all the “detainees” as well as the various costs under Donald Trump 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.
