Lindsey Graham is claiming that Brazilian immigrants are arriving at the border 'wearing designer

clothes and Gucci bags'

Sen. Lindsey Graham is claiming that immigrants from Brazil are entering the US via the Mexican border "wearing designer clothes and Gucci bags."

Graham made this statement to Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday while criticizing the Biden administration's border policy.

"We had 40,000 Brazilians come through the Yuma Sector alone headed for Connecticut wearing designer clothes and Gucci bags," the South Carolina senator claimed on Fox News. "This is not economic migration anymore. People see an open America. They're taking advantage of us. And it won't be long before a terrorist gets in this crowd."

Graham reiterated those claims in an interview with The Washington Post on Tuesday, elaborating on his statements to Hannity, while recounting to The Post what he says he observed during his recent trip to Yuma, Arizona.

Oh don't be jealous Lindsey. With your Senate salary I'm sure you can afford your own designer clothes and Gucci bags.
