Dear @realDonaldTrump: The "dumbest" law you refer to is called the United States Constitution. Specifically the 14th Amendment which provides due process to all persons, not just citizens.
You took an oath to the Constitution at your relatively small inauguration, remember?

When people come into our Country illegally, we must IMMEDIATELY escort them back out without going through years of legal maneuvering. Our laws are the dumbest anywhere in the world. Republicans want Strong Borders and no Crime. Dems want Open Borders and are weak on Crime!

Trump's Sunday morning interview: Mueller will find "nothing wrong," deleting 33,000 emails, & more

"Ahhhh...Bach." (Little in-joke for my fellow M*A*S*H fans)
Federalist Society's Leonard Leo showers Trump with praise over how he's handling SCOTUS pick
"Ahhhh...Bach." (Little in-joke for my fellow M*A*S*H fans)
According to the Post, Trump wants a nominees who is extraordinarily well qualified and who earned their degree at an Ivy League universitynamely Harvard or Yale. As the Post reports, Trump also wants to see a portfolio of solid academic writing, though this adviser acknowledged Trump does not care to read it; he simply wants to know it exists.
This president had a vision, Leonard Leo, who advises the president on judicial nominees, told the Post. He did something entrepreneurial and different. He had a very clear sense of what he wanted, he spent a lot of time asking questions about [the late] Justice [Antonin] Scalia and Justice [Clarence] Thomas and other members of the court, and he got to know Justice Kennedy a little bit. I have been really impressed with how he conducted this process. Hes in control of it.
Trump himself described Supreme Court nominee selection as the most important decision he can make outside of war and peace.
We have a pick to come up, Trump said at a campaign rally Wednesday night. We have to pick a great one. We have to pick one thats going to be there for 40 years, 45 years. We need intellect. We need so many things to go. You know, theres so many elements go into the making of a great justice of the Supreme Court. Youve got to hit every one of them.

9 hurt, 4 critically, as man stabs refugee families at Boise low-income apartments
9 hurt, 4 critically, as man stabs refugee families at Boise low-income apartments
https://www.idahostatesman.com/latest-news/article214144964.html
Refugee families at a low-income apartment complex were attacked Saturday night by a man who stabbed nine people more than any other attack in Boise's history, police said. Four of them suffered injuries that police called life-threatening.
A 30-year-old man was quickly taken into custody at gunpoint, police said. All of the victims were taken to a hospital.
Boise Police Chief Bill Bones hinted that some victims may be children: "The age range of the victims varies dramatically, and it's affected all aspects of the families within the apartments," he said.
The motive for the attack was not immediately known, and neither was the relationship between the suspect and the victims, Bones said at an 11 p.m. news conference. It also was not immediately clear whether all of the victims were refugees.

Bolton: North Korea nuclear program can be dismantled in year
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - White House national security adviser John Bolton said on Sunday he believed the bulk of North Koreas nuclear program could be dismantled within a year.

Theres not any starry-eyed feeling among the group doing this, he said. Were well aware of what the North Koreans have done in the past.

A former Huntsville teacher, Shane Ryan Sealy, 34, allegedly showed up to counter protest. He exchanged words with another protestor and then pulled out a gun, according to WHNT News.
Other attendees described him as a a lunatic counter protester and praised police for quickly arresting him.
He pulled out a gun. I saw him holding it out in front of him. We just started screaming for everybody to drop to the ground, said Ava Caldwell, the rallys organizer. We all dropped to the ground crying.
Sealy was arrested before firing any shots. The police pointed out that he was not allowed to have a firearm within 1,000 feet of the protest.

I never pushed the Republicans in the House to vote for the Immigration Bill, either GOODLATTE 1 or 2, because it could never have gotten enough Democrats as long as there is the 60 vote threshold. I released many prior to the vote knowing we need more Republicans to win in Nov.
