  1. One of their daughters married one of the Bates’ sons and they just had a baby. From what I’ve read they have tried to do everything right, the way the government has told them, they’ve went through all the steps to try and become citizens. I guess they should have just came across the border and then the government would leave them alone.

  2. The epitome of the hatred this administration has for our values.
    If they snuck back across the border they would be tagged and deported within days. They aren’t the *right* type of people.

  3. Unfortunately you have to deal with the cartels if you ‘sneak’ into the border. Very expensive and dangerous, but there’s a large enough flow and no tracking of people attempting the journey.

    They are too American for Mayorkas. He would deport (almost) all of us here if he could.
