I see they are still bringing patients from juarez to keep the numbers up
Yep, the guys from CBP in my office told me that too.
I sent an email to the Governors office so they are aware of it.
There are no hospital transfers from Juarez. Another stupid comment from a racist scumbag.
Do your research before you spew bullshit
You don’t have an office asshole. No one talks to you including the mailman.
Well, shit head, my office has close to 400 DEA, FBI, CBP, HSI, DHS and ATF in it, so go pound your bigoted totalitarian pus elsewhere.
You don’t have an office and none of the agencies you listed know anything about you except that you are a white supremacist orange buffoon supporter who was discharged for misuse of a firearm and that due to your mental instability you need watching.
Go back to your Section 8 apartment, little boy.
Why are 1000’s of El Pasoans continue to travel to Juarez everyday? I thought the border was closed.
Excellent question. Back in March I suggested they totally close the border, but I was called a racist, xenophobic, hack! What do I know!! 😂
All rightists are xenophobic. Its part of their platform. But the main reason they cannot close the border is economic. It just isn’t possible. However there could be a more specific definition of the word ‘essential’.
But the economy doesnt seem to matter when nm is shut down by pos grisham. But it does in el paso. Thats good to know
Because they’re stupid. I’ve lived in El Paso my entire life except for my college years and I’ve never been to Juarez and never will.
Going into Mexico hasn’t been closed at all since this started. I go a few times a week.
