At the border in El Paso a few days ago, Trump reportedly ordered border agents to violate the law in several ways. He specifically told them to disregard judicial decisions and obey him: "Don't let asylum seekers in!"
Folks, if this was happening in another nation, we'd be rightly criticizing the citizens of that nation for "allowing" the blatant criminality of their government.
How is this any different? What WON'T we allow?
