Would that our elected officials could attempt to REGULATE Big Tech in order to ELIMINATE ALL 'bots' (1) unduly conditioning the People and (2) most often DEFILING the only marketplace of ideas we have between us.

Sometimes I believe these 'kinds of stories' are 'published in the GOP-DEREGULATED news' so that- across the nation in a wide, wide array of social media platforms- incalculable amounts of GOP 'bots' can CONDITION the People with their propaganda messages in the comment section.

Not a sanctuary state, huh?

The ironic thing is that Montana is a Spanish name....like many other states

So wrong on every level

One sided story or could we get both sides perspective?

Very good reason to see if they needed help etc.

any money these women win from their lawsuit should come directly out of the pay of the border patrol and not billed to taxpayers

Don't speak Spanish in Montana..... life lessons.

thanks for updates los angeles

Guilty until proven innocent. That's America.

I imagine anyone in MT who uses the word ‘Taco’ is prolly looked at funny...

The Border Patrol’s recruiting crisisThe law enforcement agency's employees venture to desolate landscapes, receive lackluster overtime pay, and encounter potentially dangerous situations every day. Want to join? The U.S. will be a better place when Trump is gone. Is it any wonder they can’t recruit & retain BP agents? Democrats demonize them, refuse to fund them, and blame them for enforcing the law. no one in their right mind would want that job right now. Not to mention the small raise congress approved that Trump decided to take away at the last minute.
