Invasion?

Can SOMEBODY- Democrats, journalists, SOMEBODY- please tell Republicans to pony up some kind of citations, research, evidence, etc. of this so-called "invasion" that they continuously say occurred under Joe Biden, or to (not-so) kindly STFU about it?! I'm so tired of hearing this repeatedly from one Republican/MAGA after another, but it is being left unchallenged! I haven't heard anybody lift a finger to object to this despite the abject lack of evidence, and it has become a mantra whenever the topic of immigration is being discussed.

From the same people who welcomed an invasion of the Covid virus with anti-mask, anti-vaccine, anti-social distancing, anti-work from home, and pro-super-spreader event propaganda.

Vilify and dehumanize a class of persons as being some sort of ‘threat’; use disinformation and lies to frighten the base keeping them ignorant, angry, and going to the polls.

Roofing buildings! Even doing landscaping. Landscaping!

The perfidy is unspeakable.
