A well-armed drone would but the Kenyan doesn’t have the testicular fortitude to do it.

They should be introduced to the railroad to dress it up.

The Beast would be empty if Ubama wasn’t recruiting them.

I call BS on the NPR theory the illegal invaders are trying to escape the danger in Central America. They’ve been living with it for seemingly ever, so why now!?
Although I believe the spokesperson at Heritage has stated close to the truth as one can get in her position I believe the Left is providing financial assistance to move these invaders, as well some incentives sufficient to cause them to act. I believe this is all part of the Cloward-Piven style assault on this country by the Left.

Note the third rail in that photo. The Guatemalan railroad (now defunct) was narrow gage... The photo is most likely at Mexico’s southern border where railroads interchanged.
I once rode all the way through Mexico and Guatemala by rail... it was not very glamourous... from Juarez to Mexico City, to Vera Cruz, to Tapachula, to Ciudad Hildalgo... walking across the border to Tecun Uman and taking the narrow gage train to Guatemala City. My total passenger train fare was about $30, if I recall correctly.
I did ride the roof in Guatemala... but that was normal... they still had brakemen riding the tops of the cars with brake clubs tucked under their armpit for cranking down the handbrakes.
