      I know, this thread was crazy without any real answers. At least now there’s legislative and executive record out there.

        Yeah, now there’s excuses for waiving 26 laws in order to enforce one of Trump’s laws. Hooray.

          Just one excuse, the law that Congress won’t repeal since they’re down with the wall, but yea.

            Well, as long as you’re honest that you’re making excuses.

              As far as “excuses” go, respecting the Constitution and the legislative process are pretty good ones.

                Well, at least you were accidentally honest about making excuses until I pointed it out.

                You got the wall you and Biden wanted. Congratulations on all the dead ocelots.

                  I was quite deliberately honest.

                  Biden actively campaigned against the baby hands wall to Congress, who decided to uphold the 2019 law baby hands created.

                  You can thank the last administration for the ocelots.

                    Which executive branch waived 26 laws to enforce 1?
