Democrats and some Republicans continue to ignore the danger to the American people they swore to protect. Vote them out .....

Build that wall!..... wait

It happens...

You cross illegally! You should maybe not cross!

Were they headed to Feinstein's house?

Probably some Democrat

Chinese...they come through San Francisco

Nah can't be true. Nothing happens at the border it's perfectly safe down there. Should leave it wide open and let everybody come and go as they please.

He would still be alive if he would've stuck to smuggling Mexicans. US Gov don't play when it comes to China.

We definitely need to keep American men out of the US.

This must be happening at a much higher rate than previously known👌🏾

Build the wall, please!

close the border
