  • "Last year almost 2M illegal immigrants crossed that border into the US. Most were from Mexico. The population of Mexico is only 128M. At this rate it will only take about 60 years for virtually all of Mexico to illegally immigrate to the United States. I hope you can see the problem with this. Even if half or a quarter or a tenth of Mexico illegally enters the US, it will be too much. Add on top of that the fact they are unvaccinated against COVID 19, they are not vetted in many cases and they are responsible for some rather horrible crimes in America. I say enough is enough."
