Who built the cages, Joe?
They all know that Biden will open the door for them.

I thought it meant the hurricane would stop the caravan.
No, they have been waiting to hear “president elect biden” before the surge.

stupid no-news journo-propaganda ‘story’
Just in time for Biden - if worse comes to worst - to welcome them into the country.. GOD HELP US ALL. Is the country ready to see those boxcars loaded with people again heading north? Did they even notice they had stopped?
Biden is an open border kind of psycho.
