'I want to cry': House Republicans take emotional trip to the border

... For many in the congressional delegation — organized by the conservative Republican Study Committee (RSC) and its chairman, Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) — this represented their first visit to the southern border.

For some, it was a frustrating experience given how easy it was for the migrants to cross the Rio Grande and walk right across the border, but also one full of emotion as lawmakers inquired about the children’s names, ages and personal stories.

One unaccompanied 8-year-old Honduran boy, sporting a blue shirt and black pants, was discovered on the side of the road by two teenage migrant girls; they brought him to La Joya in hopes that he can reconnect with his mother and brother who live in the U.S.

Was anyone tackled? Arrested? Deported?

Trump was the only serious person in Washington who wanted to accomplish things. He was the real deal and was promptly dispatched by the stage managers.

The country is led by charlatans. It is broken.

cry? cry!?

NO

they should be angry as hellfire. Parents or ‘relatives’ in the US, usually illegals themselves, who are paying the coyotes should be arrested for human trafficking. Instead, we put the children on a plane, and send them to the trafficker - who we pay AFDC every month for having a ‘dependent child’.

Why aren’t our lawmakers angry about That!?

Want to stop immigration? Start prosecuting for human trafficking.

Yes he is/was. He wanted to get things solved but it wasn’t meant to be. The swamp is too large and deep for one person. He was alone.

You are 100% correct about Trump. He only cared about MAGA.
But sadly he is not in power. His only error was to pooh pooh seriousness of the Chinese virus. That scared lots and lots of Karens into voting for senility Joe.

You are both right and wrong.
Yes, Trump is the MAIN REASON vaccines were made available at warp speed.

But I do not remember him saying “listen folks, this Chinese virus is highly infectious and very dangerous for older folks and those with many health issues. I am going to protect you. We will defeat this pandemic together.”

If he had said those words during his rallies, Biden had no chance in hell, regardless of stealing, cheating and crooked voting machines.

It was the loss of millions votes of Karen’s is why Biden was able to steal the election.
