Either the Left gets its act together and closes off the border and begin deportations, or the Right will deal with this and I don't think that will be pretty for the Left or the Migrants.

TWN,

You are correct sir. If the left doesn't get it's act together on the border as you mention as well as a whole host of issues, this will end very badly for them. It's also going to end very badly for the immigrants as well in fact much worse than it would have had tgey simply stayed out of it!!
