The long and the short of S. 2192 is that Trump get legal authority to
build a wall, and put cameras and stuff all along the border,
irrespective of any laws saying he cannot.
I cannot see how this impairs my rights, or anyone's rights, other than
the right of invaders who hope to invade, kill me and take my stuff.
I come in and go out by airport, where I already get survielled, so this
does not affect me in the slightest. In only affects people who are
swimming the Rio Grande and suchlike.
