Meanwhile, in another British city: A Green Party candidate, Mothin Ali, shouted “Allahu Akbar!” after being elected to Leeds city council, while his supporters unfurled a Palestinian flag behind him.
He said his election to the council was a “win for the people of Gaza”. Delivering a victory speech after the result was announced, he said: “We will not be silenced. We will raise the voice of Gaza. We will raise the voice of Palestine. Allahu Akbar!” ...

The border is right where Trump's hyperbole bit him in the ass.
He campaigned on that ridiculous claim that Mexico would pay for the border wall and the result of that was that he couldn't/didn't push hard for border money when elected because that would have been contradicting his stupid promise.
As a result, he waited too long to make that push, and by the time he got around to it, the Democrats controlled the House and wouldn't give him the money.
Agreed. Trump won his campaign on securing the border and building the wall. He failed. He also failed to get the $$ needed while he had a decent majority in both Houses.
Congress passes $1.3 trillion spending bill that includes some border wall funding
Mar 22, 2018
The bill will boost spending on various projects, including infrastructure and a border wall. The $1.6 billion allocated for a wall fell far short of the Trump administration's demands, and Democrats were able to exact significant restrictions on the wall's construction, including avoiding building it in a wildlife preserve and blocking any construction of the barrier as a solid concrete wall.
The $1.3 trillion measure, which lawmakers scrambled to pass ahead of a government shutdown deadline Friday night, was on its way to President Donald Trump after the U.S. Senate passed it late Thursday on a vote of 65-32. The new spending restores funding on many of the austerity measures Republicans implemented since taking over the U.S. House in 2011.
Earlier Thursday, the House passed the bill on a vote of 256-167. Most Texas Republicans fell in line with their *leadership* on the bill, but a handful from the conservative wing of the party voted against it: U.S. Reps. Brian Babin of Woodville, Joe Barton of Ennis, Blake Farenthold of Corpus Christi, Louie Gohmert of Tyler, Ted Poe of Humble and John Ratcliffe of Heath.

LIEden's anti-Semites would refuse to see or acknowledge this, but Israel "gets" that if Hamas derives ANY benefit from seizing hostages, the tactic will be encouraged.
How can anyone have anything but contempt for the courts in Pennsylvania? The judges in PA are absolutely corrupt to the core. Not one of them should be on the bench.
In fact, what would be considered a mindset that transcends being contempt? Contempt on steroids? That is where I am.
So many children of divorces are completely estranged from their fathers in Pennsylvania because of the total corruption of family courts in Pennsylvania. I would say Pennsylvania is the WORST STATE IN THE UNION for anyone with a family, for if you end in divorce, father's get castrated in the courts. It is disgusting!!!
Meanwhile in the real world
The ongoing migrant crisis is unprecedented, both in scale and the effect it has had beyond the border states to cities located deep within the country. Major cities such as New York, Denver and Chicago are finding themselves under extreme financial pressure, exacerbated by the lack of federal funding or assistance. So just how long can cities withstand the recent surge of migrants and what do they need to end the crisis?

And
Illegal immigrants are a net fiscal drain, meaning they receive more in government services than
they pay in taxes. This result is not due to laziness or fraud. Illegal immigrants actually have
high rates of work, and they do pay some taxes, including income and payroll taxes. The
fundamental reason that illegal immigrants are a net drain is that they have a low average
education level, which results in low average earnings and tax payments. It also means a large
share qualify for welfare programs, often receiving benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born
children. Like their less-educated and low-income U.S.-born counterparts, the tax payments of
illegal immigrants do not come close to covering the cost they create.

And
Record numbers in illegal immigration have resulted in United States taxpayers bearing the burden of tens of billions of dollars going toward paying for migrants and their families.

So as you see, your claim of mass migration being a net benefit to taxpayers and the economy is proven false
