What we need to do is send every single one of these illegal aliens back home!
This could guarantee 45 becomes 47. Even with cheating.
Not if the Rats get all these wetbacks registered to vote.
Migrants? They are ILLEGAL ALIENS and should be detained and deported.
Someone tell the US Attorney General. Oh wait.. he's a crook on George Soros' payroll. Just like many mayors and district attorneys.
Gee, why didn’t I think of that?
This time of year, the illegal aliens can sleep alfresco. They slept in the desert in the winter. They can sleep outside in Chicago during Spring and Summer.
The US has been conquered.
Democratic voters in these cities, be aware: it was your Democratic politicians who wanted all these people in the country for their votes.
We need 65,000 new ICE agents and not 65,000 new IRS agents.
I’d love to hear the mayor of El Paso’s thoughts on this “crisis”.
Illegals are like Star Trek tribbles. They are in every nook and cranny.
All those mongrels will be replacing both White Americans and especially Black Americans.
They will vote democrat and usher in a Hugo Chavez dictator.
Equality is coming. Equal misery for all!
Only 200 per day? Amateurs! The people of McAllen and Brownsville Texas are not impressed with leftist ChiCongo’s ability to manage a few illegals.
But, but, but... if they were sent home corrupt elites in DC wouldn’t get their cut of cartel billions...
If we’re going to import all comers and turn the U.S. into a global commons, we will have to adopt third world housing practices and erect vast shantytowns around all major cities.
This is now the democrat platform. They own it. They just don’t want to talk about it.
I hope the governors of Texas and Florida keep shipping these illegals to the cities because the idiots in the media will report on it and keep the crisis in the news.
The UK’s isn’t closed, either. From a few days ago, interesting source...
He is probably thinking, you A holes in the sanctuary cities asked for this BS. Too bad the citizens have to suffer for the stupidity and treachery of their leaders.
