On Capitol Hill, border security, and by little extension America’s sovereignty, is being used as a bargaining chip by the establishment in an attempt to grease the skids on a $106 billion supplemental package that seeks to defend other nation’s borders half a world away.

When the dust settled, New York City authorities arrested only two individuals; two police officers sustained minor injuries.
