    I copied this regarding the fake tears from that Cortez idiot... How about all the American families who have died at the hands of illegals. Or, all the children who have been sex trafficked by the illegal coyotes? Shed a tear...that we didn't have a Wall long before now...to stop that injustice. How about the child that undercover ICE agent found in N.Y.C. who was five years old...and was raped up to 30 times daily....She is safe now...because of this ICE agent. And Cortez weeps for the camera's. While changing the President's words... Immigrants are welcomed....illegals are against the wall.

    There should be a ban on politicians being elected if they were married to their sibling

    It's not about legal immigration we accept almost 2 mil. In legal migrants annually and a few hundred thousand refugees as well, It's about enforcing our borders and laws
