Despite the rising numbers of illegal entries into the US, and officials’ continued requests for assistance dealing with overpopulation in detention centers and other issues, Democrats have refused to acknowledge the issue, claiming it is “manufactured” for political purposes.

they call me Frank@sofakinged
Sam@StealthycowbellMay 2019 had more than the two previous May recordings….no crisis?
Pat Mac@tennistime7Dems should be sued and prosecuted for their lack of action to keep Americans safe.
Ivy@IvyValentine57How many must illegally cross our border before we call it an official invasion? When the Germans invaded France, they invaded with 100,000 soldiers. In MAY 2019 133,000 invaded from our southern border. Asylum is a hoax. This is an INVASION & we r forced 2 pay for it. Gross
carol@ceejaymckIf this is not a crisis I don’t know what would be except aliens with 2 heads dropping out of the sky….
JosephDanet@JosephDanet@SpeakerPelosi So, when are YOU going to stop playing games with the lives of people. Secure the border.
