Subject: Re: The gullible MAGAs...
I think we on this board, through lots and lots of discussion and debate down at the minutiae layers, understand this issue far better than the average voter, the press, and most members of congress.

Definitely more than the average voter. I would hope not better than most in Congress. They have aids and advisers who should be informed, and keep them informed. And I would hope any journalist writing on the subject would have at least a basic knowledge before sitting at his/her keyboard.

It needs revision.

The Geneva Convention could be revisited, though I think it was a good statement on how the people of the world should be treated. Our own laws need an overhaul. And while a bipartisan deal was struck (that the Border Patrol union, the conservative Wall Street Journal, and many senators on both sides said was a "good start"), it was killed for politics. I think a congressman from Texas (Nehls) summed it up best when he said he wasn't going to allow it to be resolved while a Democrat was in the White House. He (and others) view it as "helping a Democrat" instead of helping the country.
