we refuse to solidify the border, so they can continue coming into the USA.
we supply them with guns
we give them FBI contacts
and we let them skate from prison.
am I the only one who connects the dots here and see that the mexican drug cartels own someone(s) in the administration?
Dude was treating like any other illegal.
Thinking this was an error is a foolish presumption.
