Hard to take those of you who claim the border are "open" seriously. If you also can't see this as political posturing, it's no surprise that you think we have "open borders".

so the wall was just a way to "delay" crossings? LOL.

And here I have read on here so many times that the big bad wall was going to stop illegals and mexico was going to pay for it through tariffs and some other made up mumbo jumbo, How'd that work out?

If a submarine has a leak, it's not open except where it's leaking. There are places where the border is wide open and those 'places' change.

First of all, this is an invasion.
There should be sharp shooters in guard towers picking these people off as they try to cross.
Hopefully they’d only have to take out a few dozen before potential invaders get the hint.

That's racist! Why do you assume only "brown" people commit this crime?

Damn, the left still wearing their white hoods, to this day.

Reagan tripled the debt in 8 years. Republicans believe in big government. They are 2 faced. CPAC invites Romney and Trump? Neither are anywhere close to conservatives. The republican party is nothing more than lip service sellouts.

They don't care about the border unless they live on it.

Trump did do better than probably any President as far as the border is concerned. He wasn't good enough.

Years ago in Arizona the Minutemen had to stand down. Even illegals are persons and have some Constitutional Rights.

Which was one of his biggest regrets.
