Gang members caught just in Texas. Thanks to biden and his czar's handling of the U.S. border or the lack of, there is no telling how many gang members have made it through. Maybe they are living in your neighborhood and are currently watching your parents or your kids. Just more crap to add to the democrat legacy.
