Did we have COVID then?

Senile Biden is letting anyone in through the border with Mexico.
They don't require COVID tests, and they don't check for terrorist associations.

The US is unlikely to ever reach herd immunity for COVID because of this.

Why are walls and fences required to "protect" our Capitol Building, but not the border?
Democrat voters. A permanent majority, always D president, welcome to the USSR.

How hopelessly brain dead retarded do you have to be to be carted around like a turd and waddle globbed into a country illegally instead of just getting your **** together, buying a plane ticket and getting a visa?

You do understand there's land that cannot be used for development, right?

Everybody can be vaccinated by the end of May, but you'll die if you have a big 4th of July party 1 1/2 months later.

The same way it helped those poor illiterate White Europeans who came to Ellis Island with nothing who ended up having to leech off the government.

Who says they're illiterate? You want to see illiterate? Go to just about any public school in America. Most American kids can't even begin to compete with the youth of other nations.

Get a grip.

How about neither? Those who come here illegally are foreign terrorists also. They steal our jobs, taxes and resources. How about those domestic terrorists aka BLM and Antifa?
