FOX: Here's a viral video of landscapers who were being addressed by a CBP agent. What do you say to people who say that falls outside the purview of getting criminals out?

“Disappeared” has a meaning and it’s not being temporarily banned from a social media app.
Real people, immigrants, including children, are being disappeared by the Trump administration every day. To equate your Internet timeout with their plight is shameful.

So the “illegals” are stealing the jobs but also living off welfare benefits but also buying all the houses?
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

I have seen my youngest child’s future.
When a man hijacked a bus in Hamilton, Ontario, on Tuesday, the potentially catastrophic scenario ended happily. It turns out he was a pretty decent bus driver. He made regular stops to pick up passengers, the police reported. At one point someone tried to board with an expired bus pass. No dice.
