We’re the Only Ones For the Children Enough

Cervantes had been the chief of police for Rio Bravo, near Laredo, but he left his post after he filed a lawsuit in 2017 alleging that then-City Administrator Miguel Berry ordered him “to shoot the children of illegal immigrants (he) and his officers might arrest so it would be easier to send the parents back to Mexico,” according to the Laredo Morning Times.

This is just such a non-solution…

How about arrest invaders at the border and force them back across? And if the feds show up, have a standoff?
