Note the report at top right: "100,000 Civilians Retreat To New Borders With Weary Finn Troops"
(This is what a real refugee crisis looks like. In modern day America we are told that there is a "refugee" crisis at the southern border. Nothing could be further from the truth. The hundreds of thousands of people flooding across the border (at the invitation of and with the assistance of the Biden administration) are not refugees, but are fleeing poverty, caused by corrupt, socialist, totalitarian, dictators and apparently tornadoes.

Tornadoes you ask? In an interview on Meet The Press with Chuck Todd, Cedric Richmond, a former democrat congressman from Louisiana and the current Director of the Office of Public Engagement (what ever that is) for the Biden administration, answered a question (that he asked of himself) claiming that the people coming across the border were "fleeing tornadoes and gangs." Another absurd and ignorant statement from the Biden administration. They may be surprised to find that the United States frequently has tornadoes, we also have gangs.
