This article said that Trump attempted to personally direct members of law enforcement to break the law while he was speaking to them near the border with Mexico.
This is a serious claim and certainly impeachible if true.
The people who work for the government are responsible to ignore unlawful orders, but we cannot expect them to keep that up under sustained pressure.
Someone please explain to me why what the president asked them to do is not actually illegal.
This is not the kind of thing that we can like appeal to first principles on.
I don't want to see any trite or simplistic replies like "no borders no country."
The law says what it says and doesn't say what it doesn't say. But I don't know what it says off hand.
Can any of your shed some light on this?
