The Democrats have finally come around to the notion that secure borders keep us safe. Sort of...
To the Democratic National Committee elites, keeping average Americans away from their convention is a good idea, while protecting the southern border from intruding terrorists, rapists and murderers is a bad one.
The DNC has erected a four-mile fence around its convention site at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center. (Isn’t it ironic they’re doing so much to protect a site named after a bank?)
The fence, which appears to be about 8 feet tall, is intended to keep out any individuals with whom Democratic Party leaders, delegates and other liberal elites would rather not mingle.
Fox 29’s Steve Keeley shared a picture of a portion of the fence he said was erected near the intersection of Pattison and Broad.

Donald Trump blasts Freddie Gray prosecutor after all charges are dropped
Donald Trump lashed out Wednesday at the Baltimore prosecutor who brought charges against police officers in the high-profile death of Freddie Gray, saying that 'she ought to prosecute herself' instead.
Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby's office said an hour before Trump's press conference in Miami that all remaining charges against officers in the case were being dropped.
The move means no one will be help responsible for Gray's April 2015 death in the back of a police transport van.
'I do have a reaction to the prosecutor in Baltimore who indicted those police officers. I do,' Trump said at his Trump National Doral Miami country club, in a reaction a question from Daily Mail Online.
'I think she ought to prosecute herself. Okay? That's my reaction.'

Florida Man Pleads Guilty to Helping Disguise Foreign Contribution during 2012 Presidential Election and Making False Declaration before Grand Jury
A Tampa, Florida, man pleaded guilty today to helping funnel $80,000 in campaign contributions from a foreign source to the joint fundraising committee of the President of the United States during the 2012 presidential election and to making a false declaration before the grand jury, announced Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman of the District of New Jersey.
William Argeros, 57, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Madeline Cox Arleo of the District of New Jersey to an information charging him with knowingly and willfully making foreign contributions and donations in connection with the 2012 presidential election and to a fundraising and political campaign committee of the president, aggregating $25,000 or more during a calendar year, and to knowingly making a false declaration before the grand jury concerning his role in facilitating and concealing the foreign contribution. Sentencing has been scheduled for Nov. 9, 2016, before Judge Arleo.
According to his plea agreement, Argeros admitted that in September 2012, he facilitated the transfer of $80,000 from a foreign source to Bilal Shehu, a U.S. citizen residing in New Jersey. Shehu, in turn, provided it to a joint fundraising committee – including the authorized campaign committee of the president – in an effort to disguise the true origin of the money and so that a foreign national could attend a campaign event on Oct. 8, 2012, in San Francisco, according to Argeros’s plea. Argeros also admitted to providing instructions to foreign individuals on how to transfer the money and provide payment to the joint fundraising committee. Federal law prohibits foreign nationals from making contributions to federal candidates or fundraising committees.

Massive Collusion?
By Thornton Crowe
If you don't believe it, the proof is in the email. Found in the many emails on WikiLeaks, below shows the collusion between Clinton/DNC/Media that was so prevalent during primaries and now in the general election.
Surprised?
Looks like the DNC doesn't think Democrat voters really have anything to do with candidate selection! Nice huh?

DNC Turns Women’s Restroom into ‘All-Gender’ Bathroom
Women’s bathroom near media section reassigned to all genders
PHILADELPHIA — The Democratic National Convention has turned a women’s restroom into an “all-gender” bathroom at the Wells Fargo Arena.
The all-gender bathroom is one of the ways the DNC is infusing its party platform into the arena accommodations. The arena also has a “gluten-free zone” and garbage cans are categorized by landfill, recycling, and compost.
A DNC volunteer told the Washington Free Beacon that there is only one all-gender restroom to accommodate transgender individuals.
The change leaves female convention goers with one fewer bathroom than male attendees.
No transgender individuals were spotted using the restroom, but it was being used by both male and female reporters, as well as some cameramen. The bathroom is closest to the media section of the arena.

NYT Ashley Parker Lies about Trump Presser
By Thornton Crowe
While it may be no surprise that once again, Donald Trump has broken more barriers and taboos by having a press conference in a time where precedent dictates the opposing party's time to keep quite, the New York Times writer, Ashley Parker has blatantly misquoted and misrepresented his words in her article.
In
a time where MSM is in great scrutiny due to the Wikileaks expose,
Parker's misstep is one that grossly exposes the NYT's aim to continue
misinforming voters. Hence, betraying their own biased towards Clinton
in this election. It's no shocker that the Times would promote a liberal
candidate - especially Clinton, but this goes beyond any semblance or
guise of journalist integrity. It's just downright DISHONEST on their
editorial staff and Parker's part.
As the Wikileaks continue to come out, the more we see, the more angry the voting public becomes because, let's face it, we've been had -- and its not just with this election but for decades. The media's love affair with the Democrat party has been a long one, but its been detrimental to Americans trying to parse through the issues to make their decisions about whom to cast a vote. It has been dastardly on the part of the Media Puppets to shameless run a propaganda arm and it evades all proof or truth.
Whatever happened to journalistic integrity? When did it become acceptable, this theater journalism? Why do Americans tolerate being lied to with such regularity?
Insanity needs to stop. People, Wake Up! The future of America hangs in the balance. Time for this stupidity has come to an end. Trust but VERIFY!
And to Ms. Parker, don't twist words around to suit your agenda. It makes you irrelevant and brands you untrustworthy to report for even the New York Times! Shameless.
Below is Donald Trump's Press Conference - 7/27/2016

Her headline, Donald Trump Calls on Russia to Find Hillary Clinton’s Missing Emails,
suggests that he was doing this; however, anyone who watches the
presser can easily tell, he was being sarcastic - far from a serious
plea for Russians' aid. Parker has given a new name to journalistic
larceny and should issue an apology to both Trump and the voters for her
grossly misleading -- big lie!

Police rescue 2 teen girls from Md. human trafficking ring
WASHINGTON — A Laurel man is charged with multiple counts of human trafficking and prostitution in a case involving two teen girls that spanned Maryland, Virginia and the District.
The case got its start after Howard County detectives who are focused on monitoring websites known for illicit ads, including Backpage, saw the photo of a young teen on a number of sites. An undercover detective reached out to the girl and later learned she was 13 years old.
“In doing so, (the detective) posed as a young teen who was inquiring about working with the girl to make money. Immediately the girl replied, ‘Absolutely, we’ll come pick you up at a public location,'” said Sherry Llewellyn, spokeswoman with Howard County Police.

Study says wind turbines, solar farms could spike energy prices, cause job losses
North Carolina’s renewable energy mandate will cause a spike in electric bills and the loss of more than 43,000 jobs by the end of the decade, a new study contends.
Dozens of solar energy projects with thousands of panels glistening by the roadsides have been constructed in northeastern North Carolina in counties such as Pasquotank and Currituck. A 22,000-acre wind turbine farm – the largest in the southeastern United States – is under construction west of Elizabeth City.
North Carolina law requires that 12.5 percent of the energy produced comes from renewable power sources by 2021. It is the only mandate of its kind in the Southeast, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
Virginia has a voluntary goal of 15 percent renewable energy by 2025.

Paul Ryan Flees Grieving Moms Trying To Show Him Photos Of Their Children Killed By His Open Borders Agenda
JANESVILLE, WI– American mothers, whose children were killed by illegal aliens, say that House Speaker Paul Ryan and members of his security detail fled from his guarded estate on Saturday as they attempted to present Ryan with the photos of their murdered children, and show him the true cost of his open borders agenda.
On Saturday, four “angel moms” held a press conference in front of Ryan’s personal border wall. The mothers explained that they deserved to be able to give heir children the same security that Ryan gives his children.
During the press event, the mothers announced their decision to endorse Wisconsin businessman Paul Nehlen in his effort to unseat Ryan in his August 9th primary election. Nehlen is running a campaign that is focused on securing the border and curbing immigration into the United States.

Laureate officials are trying to raise $1 billion in the IPO and told potential investors in a May 26, 2016, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing update the company’s financial statements may be inaccurate and unreliable, after uncovering “five material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.”

(CNSNews.com) – With ten weeks to go until the end of the fiscal year, the Obama administration continues to admit Syrian refugees at an accelerated pace, and has now exceeded two-thirds of President Obama’s target of 10,000 by September 30.

Legalized marijuana sends more kids to the hospital in Colorado
More children are ending up in the emergency room or needing other treatment for marijuana exposure in Colorado since the state legalized pot for recreational use, a new study finds.
Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, in Aurora, wanted to see if unintentional marijuana exposures in children ticked up after the drug became legal for adult recreational use in 2014. (Medical use of marijuana has been legal in Colorado since 2000.)
The authors analyzed data on hospital admissions at a children's hospital and at a regional poison center between 2009 and 2015. Eighty-one children -- all under 10 years old -- were treated at the hospital and 163 marijuana exposure calls were made to the poison center.

Trump Defends Muslim Ban - Constitution Doesn't Necessarily Give Us the Right to Commit Suicide
Sunday on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” while discussing banning Muslims form certain territories, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump doubled down ona claim he had made a week earlier in an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes” with his vice-presidential pick Gov. Mike Pence (R-IN), which was the Constitution was “great,” but it didn’t “necessarily give us the right to commit suicide.”
Trump said, “I don’t think so. I actually don’t think it’s a pull back in fact, you could say it’s an expansion. I’m looking now at territories. People were so upset when I used the word Muslim. Remember this. I’m OK with that because I’m talking territory instead of Muslim. But just remember this, our Constitution is great, but it doesn’t necessarily give us the right to commit suicide, OK? We have a religious, everybody wants to be protected, and that’s great and that’s a wonderful part of our Constitution. I view it differently. Why are we committing suicide? Why are we doing that? I live with our Constitution. I love our Constitution. I cherish our Constitution. We’re making it territorial. We have nations and will come out with a number of the places and it’s very complex.”

Was Trump Right? Leaked DNC Email Shines Unexpected Light On Cruz's "Militant" Father
In yet another awkward moment for Democratic talking-point-providers and Trump-deniers, Wikileaks' leaked DNC emailsturned up an interesting factual confirmation of Trump's 'conspiracy theory' questions about Ted Cruz's father's background..."I will note that Cruz's father was in fact a militant who fought the Batista regime (which Fidel Castro defeated) and it would not be unusual for him to be caught up in the ugly web of Cuban militants with questionable histories."
Here is Luis Miranda - DNC Communications Director - reflecting on Trump's various conspiracies, confirming Cruz's father's connections...
While I will note that Cruz's father was in fact a militant who fought the Batista regime (which Fidel Castro defeated) and it would not be unusual for him to be caught up in the ugly web of Cuban militants with questionable histories (just look at the cabinet in the basement, one of the Watergate burglars was...Cuban)...
...with plenty of other examples including a guy who blew up a plane and was basically given safe refuge in Texas...
...not to mention those who were involved in the ugly Central American wars in the 80s... I think this is a fun hit.

Racist DNC Email Flagrantly Makes Fun Of Black Woman's Name
Democratic operatives made fun of a black woman’s name in an email chain recently leaked by the website Wikileaks.
An email with Scott Comer, the finance chief of staff and LGBT finance director for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Zachary Allen with the firm TIPAH Consulting, makes fun of LaQueenia Gibson’s name. Gibson is an executive assistant for the company Haddad Brands.

Bernie Sanders remains a loser because the fix was in
PHILADELPHIA — If you are going to start a revolution, you probably want to finish it. Either win or die trying. That is why revolutions are always so bloody. Whatever you do, if you start a real movement and then try to sell it away, don’t be surprised if you lose control.
The problem with Bernie Sanders is that he has been a loser his entire political life. Sure, he has won a few elections. But in terms of vision and ideas, he has always been a failure.
During his quarter-century in Congress, Mr. Sanders has been viewed as something of a gadfly with Tourette’s syndrome. Always dressed like a homeless person shambling along the hallways, Democrats felt sorry for him and let him into their meetings. He looked like he needed a cup of coffee and free danishes.
Obviously, Mr. Sanders has very little to show for his decades toiling in Washington, except for a big bill overhauling the Veterans Affairs system a few years back. What a godsend that has been! Just ask any vets you know who need regular treatment from the VA.

Federal Workers Told They Can Stay Home During Heat Wave
Federal employees should stay home if they can’t handle the “dangerous” Washington, D.C., heat wave, Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Acting Director Beth Cobert told agencies in a recent letter.
“During days with severe heat and humidity, agencies are reminded of OPM’s workplace flexibilities that may be used to reduce health risks,” Cobert wrote to agency human resources directors Friday. “With supervisory approval and to prevent work disruptions, a telework-ready employee may telework from home on a day when air quality conditions are poor.”
Cobert also told agencies to remind employees to drink plenty of water, and said workers may request annual leave “when severe heat and humidity are threatening to the employee’s health and welfare.”
Taxpayers in the private sector who fund those bureaucrats’ salaries don’t typically enjoy the same flexibility.

Protester at DNC: 'The Clintons Have Been Doing Evil Deeds in Haiti for Years'
A group of protesters outside the Democrat Nation Convention railed against Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation for their long-reported history of using their global connections to exploit the poor people and the resources on the tiny Caribbean island of Haiti.
“We hope that [Clinton Cash] film gets spread around so more people are informed about what’s going on there,” the female protester told Breitbart News on Monday.
The protester said they “basically stole the money,” when asked if she had an issue with the Clinton Foundation.
“It never got to the masses,” she continued, “it never trickled down to the masses.”
“And the Clintons have been doing evil deeds in Haiti for years,” the protested said.

Troopers Seek Public’s Help Locating Robbery Subject
Presented by Public Information Officer Master Corporal Gary E. Fournier
Laurel - The Delaware State Police is asking the public’s assistance in attempting to locate a wanted subject who robbed a man on Woodland Ferry Road earlier this month.
The incident took place around 5:50 p.m. on Wednesday July 6, 2016 as a 22-year-old male had just exited the Five Points Liquor Store located at 30425 Seaford Road when he was approached by a black male who asked for a cigarette. The victim complied and gave him one and then proceeded to walk towards Woodland Ferry Road. The suspect continued to follow the victim while talking on a cell phone and once again asked for another cigarette. Again, the victim handed the man a cigarette and walked away. Just prior to the little league park, the male suspect asked if he could have a dollar from the victim. The victim then pulled his wallet from his pocket when the suspect snatched the wallet from his hands. The victim then began fighting with the suspect before he fled back towards five points with the victim giving chase. The victim last observed the suspect running toward the Ram Deli before he lost sight of him. The victim was uninjured in this incident.
Through various tips and investigative means, Devontae L. Massey, 24 of Laurel, was identified as the suspect who committed this crime. He is currently wanted for Robbery 2nd and Theft under $1,500.00, as well as Assault 3rd after an incident that occurred this morning, Wednesday July 27, 2016 around 4:00 a.m. at the Greenwood Inn (12036 Sussex Highway, Greenwood) when he assaulted a 29-year-old female in the parking lot and then fled prior to law enforcement arrival.
If anyone has any information on the whereabouts of Devontae Massey, they are asked to contact Detective D. Cathell at 302-752-3793. Information may also be provided by calling Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333, via the internet atwww.delaware.crimestoppersweb.com, or by sending an anonymous tip by text to 274637 (CRIMES) using the keyword "DSP."
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake on Donald Trump: 'Shameful'
BALTIMORE —Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake fired back Tuesday, five days after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump used Baltimore to try to make his case for president.
Rawlings-Blake used the microphone to slam Trump for what he said in his speech at the Republican National Convention last week.
Rawlings-Blake is in Philadelphia for the Democratic National Convention.
Trump's speech last week relied heavily on a theme of law and order and used crime rates in Baltimore and some other cities to argue Democrats have failed urban areas.

Clinton Cash: "Devastating" Documentary Reveals How Clintons Went From "Dead Broke" To Mega Wealthy
Clinton Cash, a feature documentary based on the Peter Schweizer book, has been posted to YouTube for all to view free just in time for the DNC. Clinton Cash investigates how Bill and Hillary Clinton went from being “dead broke” after leaving the White House to amassing a net worth of over $150 million, with over $2 billion in donations to their foundation. This wealth was accumulated during Mrs. Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State through lucrative speaking fees and contracts paid for by foreign companies and Clinton Foundation donors.
The New York Times hailed the book as “The most anticipated and feared book of a presidential cycle" while MSNBCdescribed the documentary as devastating for the Hillary campaign.
The Clinton camp has, of course, dismissed the documentary as a right-wing smear campaign filled with unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. That said, perhaps the most shocking aspect of the release is that many of the biggest bombshells revealed in the documentary have been vetted and confirmed by various mainstream media outlets. More recently, some information uncovered in the Panama Papers has echoed some of Schweitzer’s allegations in the movie and book.
Just to highlight a few of the scandals detailed in the documentary:

Secret Leaked Emails Show EVERYTHING, Hillary Being Forced To Drop
WikiLeaks, a gigantic hacking company that works “for the people” has hacked the DNC and released upwards of 20,000 emails that contain some of the most unfathomable information you can imagine. Many suspect the government plots against the ‘little guy’ and tries to protect the ‘bigger’ candidate, and we now have physical proof of it.
In thousands of emails, we now know without a doubt that top officials at the Democratic National Committee have committed thousands of acts of fraud, they have lied, and they have rigged the election for Hillary Clinton. This is not a partisan issue, this is a major piece in this political puzzle.
The emails range from trying to accuse Bernie Sanders of being an atheist to openly mocking and criticizing Sanders during the primary race against Hillary Clinton. I’m telling you, Democrats are talking about a full on fight on the convention floor during their convention this week.

Video of Georgia mother beating teen daughter goes viral
SAVANNAH, GA (AP/WSAV) – Police in Georgia have turned over to child welfare authorities the case of a mother who took over her daughter’s Facebook page and streamed a live video of herself beating the teen.
The video shows the mother slapping and punching her daughter and berating her for posting provocative pictures online.
A later post that appears to be written by the mother says “I love my daughter with all my heart,” but she won’t “disrespect me.”
Savannah police say the daughter told them she feels safe in the home. They haven’t said if the mother will be charged, but they did say they referred the case to the state’s child welfare department.

DNC Vice Chairman Referred To Megyn Kelly As A 'Bimbo'
A Democratic National Committee vice chairman referred to Megyn Kelly as a “bimbo” in response to her May interview with Donald Trump, according to an email released by WikiLeaks.
“Yes, Trumpet was right, Megyn Kelly is a bimbo,” was the title of a near one thousand word email sent by Steven Ybarra, who is a retired attorney and owner of a management consulting firm along with being the pacific regional vice chair for the DNC Hispanic Caucus, according to his biography on his company’s website.
“According to an online definition a Bimbo is an attractive but empty-headed young woman, especially one perceived as a willing sex object in other words a slut. If you need help with that definition, you need to stop reading and go back to school. So how did I reach the conclusion you may ask,” Ybarra began.
Ybarra then went into a diatribe in which he suggested Kelly was a bimbo because she wasn’t tough enough with Trump during her Fox Broadcast special in May.

Subject: America Reacts to ‘Clinton Cash’: 'Will Never Be Voting for Hillary'
Listeners of Breitbart News Daily and Breitbart News Sunday on SiriusXM called into the shows to discuss their reaction to seeing the film Clinton Cash during its global premiere on Breitbart over the weekend. Many explained that they held viewing parties that included both liberals and progressives.
Brett in New York gathered friends and family, some of them very liberal. Brett said:
My wife’s sister and her husband and their friend are huge liberals. By the end, they said they will never be voting for Hillary, ever, ever, ever. And I even got my wife’s sister to put on a Make America Great Again hat. My sister-in-law said, “I hate this woman” after viewing Clinton Cash and being made aware of some of the Clinton Foundation’s corrupt practices.

Daily Caller: Leaked Emails Reveal DNC Plan to Reward Big Donors with Federal Appointments
Chuck Ross writes at The Daily Caller:
Democratic National Committee documents recently released by WikiLeaks include spreadsheets and emails that appear to show party officials planning which donors and prominent fundraisers to provide with appointments to federal boards and commissions.
The documents, which were circulated among top DNC officials in April, could raise legal questions for the party, says Ken Boehm, the chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group.
“The disclosed DNC emails sure look like the potential Clinton Administration has intertwined the appointments to federal government boards and commissions with the political and fund raising operations of the Democratic Party,” Boehm told The Daily Caller.
“That is unethical, if not illegal.”

Peter Thiel's RNC Speech: "Wall Street Bankers Inflate Bubbles In Everything From Bonds To Hillary's Speaking Fees"
What in our humble opinion has been the most original speech delivered so far at the RNC, was that of Peter Thiel, an openly gay libertarian, Facebook board member, former PayPal CEO and co-founder, and Nick Denton nemesis, who moments ago covered everything from Wall Street bubble blowing...
"Wall Street bankers inflate bubbles in everything from government bonds to Hillary Clinton's speaking fees"
... to soaring costs in an age of alleged deflation as far as the eye can see...
"Americans get paid less today than 10 years ago. But healthcare and college tuition cost more every year"
... to floppy disks and figher planes...
"Our nuclear bases still use floppy disks. Our newest fighter jets can't even fly in the rain."
... to US foreign policy...
"Instead of going to Mars, we have invaded the Middle East. We don't need to see Hillary Clinton's deleted emails: her incompetence is in plain sight. "
... to transgender bathrooms...

Money raised from the ice bucket challenge just funded a major breakthrough in the fight against ALS
It is often easy to dismiss viral charity campaigns as “slacktivism”, which lacks in real-world impact (we never did catch the warlord Joseph Kony, after all) but a breakthrough discovery bankrolled by 2014’s ALS ice bucket challenge may give the lie to that cynicism.
The ice bucket challenge was a phenomenon in the summer of 2014 in which people dunked a bucket of iced water over their heads in order to solicit donations before nominating others to do the same.
Scores of celebrities including Mark Zuckerberg, Anna Wintour, Tom Cruise, Charlie Sheen,Robert Downey Jr and hundreds more made videos, but the campaign was criticised by some.
Slate wrote that “for most of the people posting ice bucket videos of themselves on Facebook, Vine, and Instagram, the charity part remains a postscript”, whileTime called it “problematic in almost every way”, going on to say that “most of its participants ... didn’t mention the disease at all. The chance to jump on the latest trend was an end in itself. In fact, the challenge’s structure seems almost inherently offensive to those touched by ALS.”

Phil Ruffin: 'Trump's Handshake Is Better Than Any Contract You Will Ever Write'
The Las Vegas magnate who has been Donald J. Trump’s friend and business partner for two decades, told delegates at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland Wednesday that Trump’s vision and determination to succeed in business are the skills he needs as president to “Make America Great Again.”
Phil Ruffin, himself a billionaire and the owner of Las Vegas’s Treasure Island hotel, said Trump’s word is his bond. “If Donald tells you something, you can put it in the bank. He’s been my partner and friend–and believe me, his handshake is better than any contract you will ever write.”
It is unfair to denigrate his integrity, he said.
“He pays his bills promptly,” said the developer, who also owns the country’s largest maker of hand trucks. “You won’t hear that: promptly. No discounts.”

Global Warming Expedition Stopped In Its Tracks By Arctic Sea Ice
A group of adventurers, sailors, pilots and climate scientists that recently started a journey around the North Pole in an effort to show the lack of ice, has been blocked from further travels by ice.
The Polar Ocean Challenge is taking a two month journey that will see them go from Bristol, Alaska, to Norway, then to Russia through the North East passage, back to Alaska through the North West passage, to Greenland and then ultimately back to Bristol. Their objective, as laid out by their website, was to demonstrate “that the Arctic sea ice coverage shrinks back so far now in the summer months that sea that was permanently locked up now can allow passage through.”
There has been one small hiccup thus-far though: they are currently stuck in Murmansk, Russia because there is too much ice blocking the North East passage the team said didn’t exist in summer months, according to Real Climate Science.

Mexican Newspaper: Build a Trump-Style Wall with Central America
One of the largest newspapers along Mexico’s border with Texas is calling for a border wall with Central America, similar to the one being promoted by Republican Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump.
The editorial board of El Mañana, one of the largest newspapers in the border state of Tamaulipas, penned a piece called “Yes to the Border Wall … but in Mexico’s South.” The piece praises the idea of border wall, not on the border with Mexico, but on the border with Central America.
“Along the Mexican border peace and quiet came to an end, Central Americans played a large influence,” El Mañana’s piece claimed.
