That's why the orange man is protecting the border

I just can't wrap my head around why spending $500M to paint the wall is protecting me from a Venezuelan murderer. Do Venezuelan murderers see them like colorful poisonous dart frogs and avoid them somehow?

They don't, which is why racial profiling is back on the menu.

Citizens on the streets don't need to show their papers to ICE, but that's been worked around by yesterday's SCOTUS. Being brown at Home Depot is now sufficient cause to get arrested by ICE.

It's funny to me how Build That Wall was such a key part of Trump 45 but is a giant nothing burger for Trump 47. How could it be that it is so much less important just 4 years later, oh, right, never mind

Begs the question.
