Border enforcement addresses illegal immigration, not refugees. Trump, and you, try to blur the line between legitimate refugees and illegal immigrants for some reason.

And yet Trump finds a way to "defend" himself, right? Melania has famously said that when Trump is attacked, he fights back 10 times harder. But that's turning out to be his greatest weakness. He can't keep his mouth shut. AT> JT> Grants need to be applied for. Ask your local government why you stil AT> JT> have lead pipes despite national funding to replace them.

They have provided funds that local governments can apply for in the form of grants. Does your whole ward think that no one should have to ask for anything? Because with that attitude, nothing's ever going to get done. Jeff. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Raspberry Pi/32) * Origin: Cold War Computing BBS (1:387/26) .
