That's fine by me, but let's face it, if it's true that illegal bording crossings are down, if it is true that riots are down in L.A. and if the Oval Office can make the murder/crime rate go down a lot in DC then the Republican Party will be known as the Party that stands for Law and Order and who can be against it? 

It seems the general population wants it and then see Democrats who are against it and try to turn it in to some Race bait thing or sum up how many vacation days Trump took, does it really matter?

Sure, you can get quick results with extreme measures, but there's also the question if that's truly worth it. Officially there wasn't a whole lot of criminals in Nazi Germany. But the government itself was criminal in every way imaginable. In the Soviet Union there were very little violent crimes and such. Khrushchev once even dreamt of a crime-free soviet union. Well, of course the government was corrupt as can be, but that wasn't counted as a crime.

I'm not saying the US is on the same level as those two. But they are certainly on their way there. They already have a corrupt regime that doesn't care one bit about the people, the constitution or anything else than its own interest. You can fight "crime" (or what you define as such) by spitting on democracy and freedom of people.  But I for one would not want to go down that path. 

But that's just me of course, what the hell do I know. =P

An awful lot of evil has been done in the name of "law and order." And crime in DC was never bad enough that I feel that martial law is the answer. 

And generally, the people who scream for "law and order" are the most lawless thugs out there. That goes for "law and order" leaders and the people who vote for them.
