Please tell me why the border crisis of the young people coming to America from Central America ...

... is President Biden's fault? The conditions in many areas in Central American countries are
brutal and people are fleeing for their lives because of gangs, the drug trade, and poverty. I
have some friends who are currently hosting a brother and a sister 11 & 14 who had to flee their
home town after their father was murdered by a gang trying to shake him down for money which
he did not have and so along with their mother they walked all the way (the length of Mexico)
to the U.S. border at which the mother was separated from her children. They can not go back
to their hometown because they will be killed and or the mother and daughter will be trafficked by
the gang that killed the father there. The conditions that make people flee their central American
countries ARE NOT JOE BIDEN'S FAULT.

Our drug laws don't help because they put so much money into play on both sides of the
border. But to blame Joe Biden for all these problems is madness and I have read the
Trump administration left a real mess @ the border too.

In the mid 1930s FDR and his programs had the great depression getting under control but the
republicans started to complain about the debt and they scaled back some of the programs and
the depression came back again.

... lord, savior and whore for Putin demeaned the M$M in the eyes of his minions for years they still want to repeat their bullshit.

Looks like Biden is ignoring them, I pray he hits back hard at the M$M stupidity at the border.

No one knew the less extreme M$M wouldn't do their homework and just repeat FAUX News talking points about the non existent "surge".

Now I know they're lazy af

10. Trump's mob connections were well known in 2015 & 2016 but we didn't hear anything about that ...

... but we did hear all about Hillary her emails and her email server. Nor did we hear that
Ivanka was a sex worker who had come to the US illegally.

Joe is putting his head down, getting to work, and putting together a new super majority
democratic party that will be a Juggernaut.
