  1. Biden’s ratings can’t get any lower, or can they? They have ignored our border, actually opened the door. This administration has failed the American people completely!!!😡

  5. Last minute trip to Mexico? Blinken had 3 years to do something about the millions of illegal migrants entering the USA each year, but waited for the crisis to turn into a disaster to make a quick trip to Mexico and beg for help. Under Trump there was 1,000 illegal crossing per day, under Biden there are 10,000 per day.

  8. Help country grow right. Don’t let them decay. This should be the two pillars of foreign policy globally. He can not afford deviation
