Yes, ignore the facts, and use your emotions, not your logic. But Trump tried to halt flights from China and Democrats called him a "xenophobe."

How do you know if some were or not? It's a strong possibility, you know. At any rate I have no sympathy for law breakers foreign or domestic. If they put their lives in jeopardy to break the law it's on them. Over 20 in one vehicle? They didn't know they could be risking their lives?

That is literally the only thing he got right as far as the virus goes. Other than that, he did nothing.

Well maybe you should move to China or Iran then, where they can execute people without a trial.

Imagine how many would be alive if Cuomo and Pelosi chose to agree with Trump about closing the borders and not encourage their constituents to go out to theaters, restaurants and go to the st Patrick parade, and don’t forget putting covid patients in nursing homes

Two dozen people in an SUV near the Mexican border. At least 10 Mexican nationals killed. Illegal immigration?

Ahahahahah, now you're backpedaling, but you're STILL wrong.

Governors in Democratic Party-led states such as CA, NY, NJ ALL praised President Trump for his cooperativeness and quickness to respond to their requests for federal aid. This was such to the extent a video of these governors making these statements admitting President Trump came through whenever they asked for help was played at his rallies last fall.

NY's Cuomo, who is now under pressure given his staff admitted they hid numbers about how many died in nursing homes so the Trump administration wouldn't know, requested much help; Trump sent a Navy ship hospital to NYC's harbor which went unused.

Try again, Meowen. Your posts demonstrate you're a perfect example of what Chou En-Lai said. He was no rightist and certainly were he alive he'd not support President Trump.

The ignorance you display, moreover, is what John Podesta (no Trump ally - you do know that, right?) wrote in an email Wikileaks hacked in 2016: you are what Podesta describes as part of an "unaware and compliant citizenry."

Get the facts and THEN come talk to me.

Perhaps ABC7 Eyewitness News in Los Angeles is jumping ahead, but when they use the phrase "mounting evidence they were being smuggled", that gives you a pretty good idea of how this investigation is going.

Imagine how desperate for work these people were to agree to be packed like sardines in the SUV.

Just 3 states account for 76% of the US production of vegetables, California, Florida and Minnesota.

https://vegetablegrowersnews.com/new...-veggies-2017/

Similar stats for fruit production with California, Florida and Washington in the lead.

I have travelled backroads in Florida during harvest seasons. Not uncommon to observe pickup trucks packed with farm workers being transported to or between worksites. Also rather common to see children working the fields.

Most of us don’t think about the people who harvest our food and the conditions they work in. What matters is that Walmart is selling big juicy watermelon in season, for peanuts.
