(61,694 posts)2. Trump wants to destroy this historical Methodist church and cemetery in San Juan Tx:

President Donald Trumps proposed border wall could destroy a piece of Methodist history and disturb sacred burial grounds in this small rural area just a mile or so from the Rio Grande.
On the main road, two historic markers are the only signs that history lies down a two-lane road behind a grassy levee.
Trees and brush hide most of the view across from a pristine white chapel framed by a cross of shiny dark brown wood. About a mile or more on the other side is the border of Mexico and the river.
Descendants of the family who first came to this dusty Texas land are waiting to talk to fellow United Methodists about a place that is dear to them.

It's hard to imagine the "Lone Star State" is going to take that.
Let's see if Ted Cruz stops licking boot and realizes what's going to happen.
