LOGAN: “Well, you know, it’s funny that you mentioned your experience along the border, Sean. I was thinking about that as I was writing down some numbers from Border Patrol’s own statistics that may resonate with you, with your knowledge of the border down there. Because for example, Del Rio, they’re up from 2,476 in the week before Biden’s inauguration; last week, 5,699 apprehensions. Up — from known recorded got-aways, up from 942 to 2,106. So you know, that is all along the border. More than 50 to 60 to 70% increases not just in the number of apprehensions but...

I'm a 20 year contributor to FR and the mods wont even answer a question, but instead call me names and insult me.

Trumps end goal with the Citizenship question is to reduce the number of Democrats in Congress by removing illegals from Congressional Apportionment. As things stand illegal aliens currently receive Congressional representation. They are included in the counts of total population that are used for Congressional Apportionment. So states with high numbers of illegal immigrants receive extra seats in Congress at the expense of states with lower numbers of illegal aliens. California alone has an extra 5-6 seats in Congress as a result of illegal immigration. That is the main reason that Democrats push illegal immigration and provide sanctuary cities/states. Illegals...

President Trump Build That WALL.... and here's how to do It !! During WW II the government issued war bonds to finance military operations and other expenditures in the time of war. The government took in Billions of dollars from private citizens, so why can't the government issue "WALL BONDS" to build a wall to keep illegals and drugs out of America?
