Right, we should just use kids who are DACA to get billions of taxdollars for twitler's wall. Mc Mike Jun 2018 #1

Unimpressed. GOP always coordinates its messages, picking those to go out and be reasonable, wiggs Jun 2018 #2

I don't think so. He's a rep of a district that is probably high % Hispanic. Honeycombe8 Jun 2018 #3

I looked it up...it stretches from El Paso to San Antonio. A lot of Hispanics, incl. many illegal immigrants, in that area of the country. So his district is being impacted heavily, probably.

So either Trump will kill his career, or he's gotten permission to voice objection because of the nature of his District. No one can win there, probably, if they aren't sympathetic to Hispanic's issues, I would think.
