Edward Sihler @edwardsihler.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The Trump administration has decided to go old school by bringing back bread and circus (here is $5,000 and a public execution). The golden escalator entrance should have warned us all. 000
Edward Sihler @edwardsihler.bsky.social · 08/10/2026How about we just ask each person who shows up at the boarder "Visiting or moving here?"

Saves a lot of $ on enforcement and think of the taxes raised. 000
