OPINION:
I’m 74, and have been watching for over 50 years via newsreels, photos, videos, etc., illegals cross our southern border. The estimated 22 million illegals who now walk about our country are here because our elected legislators have pretty much sat with their thumbs planted in their backsides for all of that time. Now I’m hearing that we have another massive wave of illegals heading toward our border.
We have 535 elected officials who earn at least $174,000 per year (plus many other large allowances). Excuse my gruffness, but what the heck are we paying all this money for? Like him, or not, our president appears to be the only one really trying to help keep our border safe. To our Congress, your consistent ineptness is a disgrace to our country. While you rage against the president, you forget that his approval rating is twice yours. I find that pitiful.
