Dem congressman compares Chinese spy balloon to DHS blimp monitoring US-Mexico border

A Democratic congressman made a comparison on Friday between the balloon being flown over the U.S. by the Chinese communist regime, and the move by the Department of Homeland Security to fly blimps over over the Arizona border to monitor smuggling and trafficking along the southern border.

"People are outraged by a Chinese surveillance balloon, but when @DHSgov puts up a surveillance blimp in Arizona border communities without community consultation," Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., tweeted, followed by a silenced emoji and a "sssh" emoji.

He later edited the tweet to clarify that people are "rightfully" outraged.

I am absolutely sick of these Latino democrat congresscritters who think every Latino ought to have the right to walk right in here and have taxpayer money and resources handed to them for free. I don’t care if they call me names either. I’m sure they’d be right in their own minds, but I don’t care anymore. We don’t owe them anything.

“The balloon is a weather balloon and the Chinese use satellites for their real spying.”

Or the balloon is spreading the next generation of COVID or God knows what over us.

“That guy is scary stupid.”

He always has been. And his allegiance is to Mexico. He is generally identified as Raul Grihalva (D-MEX).

This idiot democrat is doing what democrats always do — equate apples to oranges and say they are the same. They are either dumb as shit or think we are.
