7 thousand in one week?….Nah that ain’t much of an invasion, unless you count weeks…
And the Dumb Democrats say its not an emergency. When God was putting the democrats brains in with a teaspoon someone bumped his arm.
Makes you wonder how many {most} made it through.
I carry a translation book now days just to get the correct change at the grocery store.
Making America great again.
Those were the ones caught.
How many got through that weren’t?
7K a week. How many came through before security was increased?
Nothing to see here. It’s that hateful global warming ya got to keep your eyes on..
I would hate to imagine how many would be caught if there were a REAL emergency…
Ma deuce every 500 yards.

They should have left a few of their corpse’s handing from the fences and see have low illegal immigration stops..
FYI: no one is “caught”. Every UAC, every family unit, everyone claiming asylum are allowed entry.
When they refer to “arrests”, that just means they’ve been given notice to appear and are released to god knows where in the US. I find no reason to celebrate.
Forget the wall – we gotta build a HELLUVA lot more CATAPULTS!!! 😮
