Jack Heinsius: Trump throwing Dreamers under the bus to get his wall

The “Very Stable Genius” who occupies the White House apparently is throwing yet another group under the bus for one of his pet projects. This time it’s the Dreamers paying with their futures for his beloved wall/fence/high-tech whatever it is.

Besides all the immorality involved in this action there is the little matter of walls not working. Ask the Chinese, who built one big enough to see from outer space. At least they had the good sense to make theirs a tourist attraction.

Jack Heinsius, Modesto
