What they're not is people fleeing violence and persecution. So the asylum 'narrrative' promoted in the press and by the leftwing lawyers now stands exposed as phony.

That takes a few years in the melting pot.

Not hard to believe at all.
Most of the elected GOP do not side with the citizens and the rule of law.
Bush League Republicans only care about one thing, completing the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)
And despite Flimsey Grahamnesty showing us and telling us that he sides with illegal aliens and their employers by backing every amnesty attempt since 2006, you’re going to re-elect him.
When did USC go off the rails?
