Pete Stauber is running for Congress in Minnesota. He will make for a great Congressman. Pete is strong on crime and borders, loves our Military, Vets and Second Amendment. Vote for Pete tomorrow. He has my full and total Endorsement!

Trump addresses the hot-button campaign issue of illegal crossings at the Mexico-Minnesota border. (Original Post) Miles Archer Aug 2018 OP
Isn't this the same wording he uses for every endorsement? He just changes the name and state? nature-lover Aug 2018 #1
Yeah, he's pretty much copying and pasting. Miles Archer Aug 2018 #2

As a retired law enforcement officer, I believe we need to abide by the laws that are put in place and will support LEGAL immigrants who aspire to live the American dream.

I lived in Grand Forks, ND for four years. Merchants celebrated the Canadians coming to their establishments with open wallets.

The sentences, while simplistic in style, are grammatically correct and every word is properly spelled. Plus, it doesn't end with "NO COLLUSION!"

And as was stated above, it's identical to other endorsements; only the name and state have been changed.

Sad.

... news to me (a Canadian), and probably all Canadians.

I’m not trying to mock the US, but Trump has it backwards. The movement is out of the US and into Canada.

FYI: I live in Victoria, British Columbia. My city is literally 20 miles from Washington State (a lot closer in some areas). I can see the peaks of the Olympic Mountains out of my window, as I type this now!

Don’t misunderstand me, Washington State is a good Democratic state (Gov. Jay Inslee is a great democrat! He has forcefully opposed Trump!), unfortunately it’s the Feds that run the borders

Regardless, my city has a large number American tourists. Many come on the visiting cruise ships that dock just down the road from me ... often 7 to 10 thousand Americans daily (just from those ships).

However, recently, some Americans are simply not returning to the ships ... and I can’t say that I blame them either.
