Wnat to do something about sex trafficing of minors? How about electing people who will CLOSE the southern border and will snuff out the evil gangsters who are now in control of the border? Hint: it AIN’T our border patrol and it certainly isn’t any organization within the umbrella of the Biden “Administration.” Get a clue, folks.
