(Mr. Urban is part of the establishment, so he has been working as part of the pro-amnesty swamp. He worked for the liberal republican turned democrat Senator Arlen Specter who included in the 2006 proposed amnesty legislation that the United States would consult with Mexico before we built a wall.

Choosing David Urban would probably be going from bad to bad or worse. If Ivanka is involved, not a positive thing.)
