I don't give a BEEP if they are heartbroken or pissed off. I didn't like this at all.

What about all the European countries they passed through first? Did those countries deny them refuge?

Trains?

How are they crossing the ocean??

Same way the Africans and Haitians got there, months ago.

Why no one is investigating who is paying for their passage, is, well criminal, in itself.

Why are the Repubs not demanding to know??

(We know why.)

If I were a terrorist, I’d simply wait for the next international
incident and rush to our southern border.

Lots more Ukies and lots fewer of the others we have been getting via asylum claims. We get flooded with non-Europeans, so it’s time to give preferential treatment to Ukies.
