   ROTFLMAO!   
   Paul Krugman of the NYT?   
   A liberal house organ who hates Trump.   
      
   Bottom line, goal post move.   
      
   Biden claimed he couldn't fix the border without bills etc from congress and   
   so forth.   
   Trump had it on the path to being fixed within a month.   
   If one life is preserved due to an illegal migrant slipping in then a hit on   
   tourism   
   is worth it.   
      
   Why do you defend hardened criminals?

   Teach a Democrat to fish and......   
   He'll steal your rod   
   Take your wallet   
   Assault the fish &   
   Blame Trump.
