they have no contact with reality

From 1993 to 2019, before covid and its special migration-limiting rules, the Administration with the fewest removals of undocumenteds by far was...Trump's, fewer than 400K a year. Under Obama it was 600K, 1.25M under Bush, 1.5M under Clinton. The politics of fantasy and lies.

🚨NEW: Melania Trump has rejected First Lady Jill Biden’s invitation for an official White House meeting. This is a decades-long tradition that was broken in 2020 by Melania refusing to meet with Dr. Biden. RETWEET if you are proud to call Dr. Biden our First Lady!
