Cough.
Note that having breached the wall they turned themselves in. Because they are making the claim of asylum, a legal immigration status.

And if their claim for asylum is denied because 'for a better life' may not be a valid asylum/refugee claim?

Mueller’s office letting us know the actual situation is more clearly criminal than buzzfeed reported. The full facts also implicate Sean Hannity and Mike Pence.

Re Mueller and Buzzfeed: This is vaguely familiar of "All the President's Men" when WAPO/W+B reported that Haldeman was involved with a secret CREEP's slush fund, on a source's (Sloan) saying he had no problem with the story. The next day, Sloan denied he oked the story and WAPO and the iinvestigative reporting was savaged.

As we know, because of that gaffe, the investigation soon ended, WAPO was disgraced, Ben Bradlee joined the priesthood, Woodward left journalism and taught English at Liberty University while Carl  Bernstein after a 2-year sabbatical became director of Public Relations for Jews for Jesus. Nixon served out his 2nd term and won the 1973, '74, 75, and '76 Nobel Peace Prizes. Following his 2nd term he became Sr. professor of government at the Kennedy School in Cambridge, Ma.

I think I got it mostly right.

At least California is paying its federal employees. And here we have a pending bill to pay the Coast Guard.

(JTA) — Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said she “must walk away” from the national Women’s March organization over the alleged failure of its leaders to condemn anti-Semitism.

You can't denounce Farrakhan?  He's your GOAT? WTF?

All politics is local.

Farrakhan has the juice of a 25 watt bulb these days. His influence peaked with Million Man March in 1995... but he is still strong locally and in pockets around the country especially in cities where black communities face economic and enforcement “challenges.”

Forcing black activists to publicly denounce the motherfucker is akin to saying, “well you for sure ain’t going to organize the folks in Clifton Terrace!” because in places where the citizens were caught between the police and the criminals without distinguishing who is who, the young men in the suits, ties and haircuts is what allowed ordinary people to get through the day to day.

That was twenty years ago, now there is one guy selling bean pies and the NOI newspaper at the corner of East Capitol and Benning NE and he’s been at it for FIVE years.

But as Farrakhan has done with every black activist since Jesse Jackson, he is making hay out of this attention.

Bullshit. Because the excuse you contrived us akin to Trump saying "both sides" were to blame in Charlottesville.

There is right and there is wrong. You can't be both.

From nearly twenty years ago...
