Some say it is a humanitarian crisis, some say it is a National Security crisis, everyone knows it is a problem but it has to be his priority to secure the border. The president is exactly right.

There is a radical agenda to undermine American Values and traditions that have been cherished and practiced since the time of our founding. In several House Committee they have begun to institute this practice of removing so help me god from the oath witnesses take before they testified to congress. This is a practice that dates back to the founding error. The digital act of 1789 institute the phrase and oath the debris Supreme Court justice and federal court judge and lower court judge throughout the land has taken since that time. All our president s take an oath of office, elected official back include with the phrase so help me god, so does the oath of allegiance for naturalized citizens.
