    That’s what Abbott and his fans want. Dead migrants and asylum-seekers. And it’s what Trump wants too.

    The more the better. If Trump could, he would show mass graves of dead non-white people who died at the border at his rallies.

      It’s wonder he not calling to have the area nucked. But 100% right this is what they want and their base does too. Unless Democrats and Binden don’t put stop to this It’s going get worse.

            He also did it to call their bluff. And it worked. They killed their own bill even.

            Biden played them for the fools they are. Idiots on social media can’t understand the nuance and take it at face value.
