Another child is dead in part because the democrats in power won't do their job and secure the border. Thank you biden and all your minions what you have caused. Next you will hear from the local idiot asking whut about Trump, whut about Trump. Trump was trying to secure the border in spite of the democrats fighting him every inch of the way. After biden took office he stopped all efforts to secure the border. Go ahead democrats lie and twist the truth to the point you feel better about (biden) the one you worship.
