Ortiz also said today that he disagreed with the Biden gang's decision to not build a border wall. I say that if we had a border wall, Mayorkas would still let them all in.

Headed to Iowa to push abortion and who knows what else.
What a total mess.
It’s not an accident either. I am wondering if they are planning to announce they are going to build a border wall (as chief Ortiz says they should) but will keep letting them all in.
Oh well, America, it was a nice 250 year old experiment.

OH there’s operational control of US border Biden made sure of that members of his party give yes vote.
