Almost 18,000 illegals came across the border in January alone, costing American taxpayers $26 Bbbb-illion!!!
Since the first harvest season our troops were there and told to stand down I raised hell and cried “WTF!” with NO official response except one report saying we can’t disrupt that country’s traditional marketing lest children go hungry. Bunch of BS! Spread of poison is just that.
