Here's a shutdown solution we should try

There is no "manufactured" crisis on our southern border to justify a national emergency according to Pelosi, Schumer and all the immigration "experts" on CNN, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times. Just ask all the Angel Families who have loved ones that have been murdered by illegal immigrants.

They are just collateral damage not to worry about. And don't get too concerned about the thousands of mothers, fathers, daughters and sons that show up on slabs in the morgues around the country due to heroin, meth and cocaine that filters through our southern border.

Not to worry ... until it hits your home.

President Donald Trump must act immediately like our previous president enacted the unconstitutional Dreamer Act using his pen and cellphone via executive action. He should forget about the "manufactured" crisis and the $5 billion necessary for that "silly" wall. Walls only work for politicians, celebrities and people of wealth.

President Trump must direct ICE and immigration officers to just start gathering up illegal immigrants, good and bad, as they cross into our country. Then transfer them to our most welcoming sanctuary cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Philadelphia and Chicago.

The federal government can set up welcoming centers in the sanctuary cities where the illegal immigrants can be safely processed and then transfer them to the sanctuary city administrations for food, housing, educational assistance, medical benefits and even voting rights in some of the sanctuary cities.

This executive action would end the shutdown. This would conveniently place the burden on our most welcoming sanctuary cities. The federal government saves billions, federal workers go back to work, illegal immigrants find utopia and sanctuary cities gain voter power ... and that is what you call a win-win-win-win. The only downside is that President Trump gets dumped in 2020.
