Where do you think all of the Fentanyl, Herion, Cocaine, and Meth is coming from in Missouri - From South of the Border - Being brought up the Interstate by Illegal Aliens and Others Dealing with the Mexican Cartels. It is Ridiculous that all of you Dems - think that Open Borders and Illegal Aliens - Have Nothing to do with Crimes and Drugs in Missouri - - The Police, FBI, and other Authorities - Know this - but some of you have Rose-Colored Glasses on.
