Clay Higgins (R) claiming sovereignty of our nation depends on a border wall. WTF?

No wall stopped Russia from violating the sovereignty of our nation during the 2016 election and afterwards. Sovereignty only means one thing to Republicans: keep all people of color out. This shutdown is designed to do a couple of things the GOP has wanted to do for decades, since FDR brought us through the great depression:

Starve the Federal government of as much revenue as possible to keep it from helping other then the rich.
Do as much economic harm to minorities, the poor, and working women, and
Keep distributing the wealth upward.

It really is insane why poor white people do not understand this. They are part of the target group and don't even know it and seemingly don't care.

Scuitto + Camerota let him just slide along lying about the ‘hordes of invaders’ on the southern border. A lie repeated enough times becomes truth.
