I sure wish Trump wouldn't have told the rest of the world if Joe Biden got in office it would be an open Southern border! obviously they wanted an open border and everyone voted for Joe Biden now they're coming here to see Donald Trump's open border policy since Joe Biden won the election. now they're here to get what Trump promised them As Mega Americans blame stuttering Joe that does not make policies that just signs papers that everyone else puts in front of him
