Maybe we should tell Trump that the States could be our 11th province. He could be the province's minister of misinformation. At least Trump is making full use of released criminals by getting them highly paid, responsible jobs. Trump is worried about looking out for criminal offenders crossing the border into the United States. This shouldn't be a problem; it will give him a bigger pool to choose from. Read More
