I say shut it down most federal departments and employees are incompetent anyway

It is time that other nations take control of their country. I am not against immigration, but I do believe that governments should make it possible for their people to succeed in their own countries and should migrate by choice and not by need. The US is a great country and composed of many great races and ethnicities but the time has to come where we can become tough and put an end to "must migration." The US needs to stop messing around in Russia and Korea and the EU and start figuring out a plan with our southern neighbors a plan of action. Don't get me wrong I love Mexico and Central America, but just because I love them does not mean that they are off the hook of taking responsibility. The US also needs to take responsibility, either legalize drugs or really fight it, because this whining and blaming MX is not working. Shut down the drug trade by either combating drug cartels in MX directly or legalize them and control their distribution. Bottom line is that WE NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND STOP WITH THE BLAME GAME.

I am beginning to be convinced that D.J. Trump has a compulsory sort of death wish that will end this Presidential nightmare for him.
