Make it permanent, all those guys do is cause trouble and harass people and violate rights.

(5,829 posts)8. That's their story. And Ted Cruz is stickin to it
Meanwhile, Mitch says it's up to the House & Mr Orange is blaming Senate Dems f/ wanting a clean bill (no immigration riders -- which Cruz loves).
It'll be the usual 'Dems want to pay the bills but FauxNews knows Dems just wanna be obstructionist' dance. Oh, and Rush Limburger will claim Dems are putting ladders up on South side of TX's wall....
