    Yes he does. You don't have to put a gadget like that on top of a missile.

    Just put it in a CONEX box (container) along with hundreds of other boxes, then sail the container ship into an American port. NYC, Norfolk, LA, San Diego, etc.

    Tick tock.

    I've made this point before, but the US and other countries pay a great deal of attention to any ship that leaves North Korea, which relatively few do.

    Yes, that's my takeaway, because I've also been told that ending DACA will cause my cholesterol to explode, and I think that was more headline-worthy.

    So a DACA recipient died in Houston as a volunteer rescue worker. Border Patrol refused to give his mother in Mexico a visa to enter the country to bury him. I don't care what sophistry people on this board come up with. Trump is an evil bigot, and those who support him are either bigots themselves or even sicker, people who get off on how their political opponents dislike acts of bigotry.

    Yeah, but you know what The Associated Press is, right?

    Yeah. The organization that sends way too many bland "pitcher throwing the ball in the first inning" photos when you're trying to make baseball your centerpiece.

    Of course there are illegal immigrants who commit crimes, and of course, no one would advocate that they be allowed to stay in the country. What percentage, I have no idea.

    But to qualify for DACA, you can't have a criminal record. 100 percent of them have never committed a crime. So this particular move isn't about preventing crime.

    To qualify for DACA, you have to be documented by the government. There is a fear -- certainly real -- that doing away with it would just promote more illegal immigration. Sort of the back-alley abortion theory of immigration but not nearly as stupid.
