Biden locusts
Excellent work by Scottsdale PD, horrible work by biden, who caused these crime to occur with his open border policy.
In the Middle East the penalty for stealing is losing fingers! Sounds more civil everyday!
No such thing as an illegal newcomer… according to Democrats. When are moderate Dems going to concede that opening the border was simply a “Get out the vote” scheme by the Bidan Administration?
Something big missing from the article. Were they here legally or illegally?
This can’t be. Biden and Mayorkas said the border is secure!
