What I find most troubling about this article is the GOP's escalation of accusations that terrorists, drugs and criminals are entering the US from Canada
This rhetoric is dangerous, as is this bill
IMO, this follows Trump's 51st State agenda

"The Peace President" at WAR with many/most countries in the world due to outlandish tariffs, plus his international politicization of Police & Service Personnel by invading ONLY Democratic cities and states. An unparalleled racist with racial and thin-skinned tendencies, with NO EMPATHY for others.
