Donald Trump‘s diaper rash was in full effect Sunday morning as the dotard in chief is throwing a temper tantrum during his morning ‘executive time’, this time over his impractical, xenophobic border wall.
I would be willing to “shut down” government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!

But just to show how out of touch Trump is with immigration facts, last year Pew released some data stating that people coming from south of the border no longer made up the majority of illegal immigrants in the United States.
From 2009 to 2015, the number of unauthorized immigrants from Asia and Central America rose. Increases in the number from other countries have mostly offset the decline in the number from Mexico (and a relatively small decrease in the number from South America).
Meanwhile, people overstaying their visas continues to be the biggest contributing factor to illegal immigration in the United States however that doesn’t fit Trump’s bigoted narrative and further proves just how wasteful a southern border wall actually is.
