Now, after refusing to do anything on immigration, including 'not allowing a vote' on a bill that would have passed, (although they 'passed' a scam, AFTER Congress adjourned, so they could tell the 'low-information' sheep, 'We tried!), they are using the border problems to further their agenda, after they are the ones who refused to confront and fix the problem(s). Same old shit from the same bad actors. It gets SO old. Read about their shenanigans in the above article, although I'm sure the sheep wouldn't be caught dead, reading actual facts, instead of ingesting FOX swill.
