The deaths happened on a pilgrimage, he said, which is a mandatory religious

中国GDP总量为111991.45亿美元，居世界第二位，人均GDP为8123美元，居世界第

先澄清一个概念，讨论DACA不是讨论非法移民大赦。
有川粉一看川普讨论DACA，就以为川普违背诺言要给移民大赦，放心吧，除非川普得了
老年痴呆。

1. 主党不合作，条件谈不拢
结果就是DACA受益人把怒火转向民主党，前些天围攻流泪叔就已经漏出端倪，而且老川

老川不但收获了修墙，结束链式移民，抽签移民，还收获了好名声，这80万人投民主党
的百分率会极速下降，记住一个事实，即使是墨西哥移民，合法的会投票反对非法的，
这是人性，和肤色无关，只是现在非法的太多了把合法的声音掩盖住罢了。
