  When we said “Do something “ what we meant was “Fund the police to brutalise them and restrict their rights!”

  How was that not clear?!

      I’m sure there’s plenty you aren’t aware of.

  How was that money spent? On sending trucks to bulldoze over border barriers?

  Or maybe flying illegals into the country?

  Or paying for their food or medical care?

  Yeah, that’ll fix the migrant crisis! Keep on doing what hasn’t been working already, that should do it!

    Interesting sources. The first two check out based on my own reading.

    The third, however, is a 1993 document reporting expenditures in 1992.
