The misuse of capacity by NY should be investigated. They virtue signaled Samaritans Purse out of CP and begged for a ship they never used.

I’d also really like them to prove they still have all of the ventilators that were rushed to production. And that they still work.

And now....Kamilla will be going down. But you can bet that there will be no roundtable with and immigration folks like President Trump held. She will meet with 2 handpicked liars for the media to film.

Does anyone know where these illegals are being dumped?

I saw that the governor of Iowa is refusing to take them.

Also, there was a story that the illegals are being housed in Northern Michigan.
