172,331 that the Border Patrol CAUGHT in MARCH alone…. We are 5 months in – Do the math PAL.
Proof that locals in Santa Maria have pretty much shut down the ICE Facility in town which was built to take prisoners that were here illegally… Now the Cartel/Drug Gangs are running rampant and murdering – 5 this year already…

The Cartels are here. The murders in Santa Maria prove it without a doubt. The FBI does NOTHING and the Homeland Security force has been neutered by the Media… The murders will continue in the name of political correctness and WOKENESS
