What you are proposing, would make that even worse. Your idea of politicians are of ones who are above the law, and break laws just in order to do things you want done. Your "cure" is worse than the disease. And once again, you're telling us that two wrongs make a right.

Seems that Trump's new executive policy is the divine right of kings.

He tells CBP personnel to violate the law, then tells the head of the agency that he will receive a pardon if he carry's out those orders in violation of said law.

One more step toward the totalitarian autocracy the maniac and his looney band of hangers on want. Orange decrees override laws and all power to the dear leader.
Yeah, I'm going to file that complaint right next to the cries over the past 2 years about how he's destroying the press....and here they still are lighting him up for his mistakes on a daily basis.

By your definition, the past presidents that turned a blind eye to illegal immigration and oh...hey look sanctuary cities that refuse to enforce the law....aren't they dictators too?

Lastly, please let me know when Trump pardons a billionaire fugitive that is actively on the FBI's 10 most wanted list after getting millions in campaign donations from his family.

The report is not fully attributed but if true no one should go off the deep end about this situation. We have the House and the Judiciary both co equal branches of the federal government. Trump is not and never will be the bogeyman banana republic dictator that he dreams about.

That makes about as much sense as anything else that comes from Trump and his sycophants.

Agree. It's a tad problematic the claims desiring to 'save' America by first destroying it.

A pardon won’t save their jobs or reputation.

Yes use force to take control of land. Oh wait Trump loves to be able to annex property. He admits he loves eminent domain land grabs.

Trump has backed the Israeli Govt. using force to annex land.
