How Things Might Go

 Maryland Democrat Senator Senator Chris Van Hollen.....says that he plans to visit El Salvador to get some deal where MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia is returned to the US.

How this will go?

Hollen will fly down via American Airlines (they run a flight from Dulles).  He'll assume his staff has someone from the embassy to 'serve' him.  What he'll find is one single driver with a staff car, and nothing arranged for him.

Meeting the President of El Salvador?  There will  be some 15-minute face-to-face....probably at some cafe/coffee shop.

The conversation?  Mostly about how El Salvador got fed up with MS-13 and just plain jailed every single member they could lay their hands upon.

By 7 PM....Hollen will realize this was a total waste of time....calls his office, and rigs up a ticket to fly out of El Salvador by 10 PM.

As Hollen goes the next day to complain about the lack of attention/care by the US Embassy....Trump simply notes....he's not going to run a baby-sitting service, and if you run off outside of the US....you need to make your own arrangements.

A week later....Hollen is briefed by his staff and Maryland law enforcement....almost 1,000 MS-13 members originally existed in the state, and since El Salvador got 'tough'...it's  suspected another 1,000 have moved into the state.  State LE folks are asking for $100-million to expand their operations against the gang.

Uphill from my friend, the neighbors excavated to route water away from their foundation.
These days, my neighbor places a series of warehouse pallets to get from the car into the house... because her garage is a river.

All that neighbor's water needs to be someplace.

El Sal turned into big meanies, so the face-tattoo crowd followed the easiest natural path open to them.
Export a 1000, import a 1000.
Come to think of it, the whole thing sounds like a scam.

But not a not-a-scam demic, that was totally real and reasonable...
