Biden’s neglect of border allowing for invasion

I was a young crew member of Patrol Squadron 49 during the Cuban missile crisis. We found the first Russian submarine by airborne surveillance on Oct. 24, 1962. We were literally eyeball-to-eyeball with the Russians during that period. We were on the brink of nuclear war. President John F. Kennedy did a masterful job of dealing with Khrushchev. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party of JFK no longer exists.
Our border is being invaded with the blessing of Joe Biden’s administration. We need our border secured right now. Illegal immigrants are being treated better than our own citizens. They shouldn’t be processed ahead of people coming here legally. The FBI is finally waking up and warning us about the security threat. This administration should be tried for treason for the harm caused to our country. Everyone needs to get on board with stopping this insanity.
