The real truth about the lack of border security and enforcement of our immigration laws is that our federal politicians are willing to sell out our country for their party and their own benefit. They don’t care that the southern border is wide open for smugglers and terrorists. All they care about is giving amnesty to all illegal aliens to get their votes for their party and themselves. They just don’t care about us or our country.

Nor do the special interest groups that advocate for the illegal aliens. Now the president has nominated the former police chief of Houston to be a high ranking official in ICE. This is a law enforcement official who has sworn to uphold all laws, yet is in favor of “sanctuary cities.” I have a question: can every citizen pick and choose which laws to obey and which ones to ignore or is that reserved for presidents and members of Congress. Where is it written that all the laws pertain to everyone but them? Remember the sell out, arrogance and idiocy that we have lived with in November. Don’t vote for any incumbent no matter his/her party. If we do it enough times, we may get someone’s attention who will pay attention to us and our wishes.
