Hey Mike,

Fascinating that you would disregard actual video of the criminals in action because the video was presented on an unapproved source. LOL, in order to be so dismissive, you focus on the venue where viewed, not the content of the video itself.

I think disregard is not the correct word. I consider my self more of a skeptic. I often try to confirm stories like this, even when I read them from sources I trust.

This story contained some ‘doesn’t pass the sniff test’ for me.

First, I searched the story and only found it on the Post, Fox, and a few other small sites I’ve never heard of. Nothing from ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, WaPo, or any other large, mostly reliable news source.

Second, I literally just returned from an out-of-town family religious celebration/visit. Any guesses where that town that was? Well, no need to guess. It was Aurora, CO. One of my sisters has lived there for decades as well as 2 of my nephews and their families. And I had dozens of conversations with folks from Aurora (family, family friends, neighbors) and not a single mention of anything about an invasion of illegal immigrants taking over an apartment building. Nothing. Nada. Zip.

Third, these gangs apparently were knocking on doors. Mighty friendly gang.

So ya, I’m pretty skeptical about this story.

Did some local crime take place? Probably. But certainly not a state-wide story and most definitely not a national story. Fox is known for its ‘fake swarm of locusts illegal aliens’ (aka brown people) stories over the years, especially leading up to an election.

Just for the record, I believe our borders need to be secure. But I also think that it can be done humanely, you know, without permanently separating mothers and babies and putting them in jail. I also think people who have the drive to try to get to this country through immense danger are just the kind of strong people we need as immigrants. And immigrants need a reasonable path to citizenship. It’s in our DNA.

That’s one of the many reasons I support the only candidate who has a record of prosecuting criminals trying to sneak over the border, Kamala Harris.

As an American, you have the right to support a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, an insurrectionist, and a candidate who committed a federal crime on sacred ground (yes, we have videos and pictures).

But having the right clearly doesn’t make it right.

Off to do more landscaping work in my yard. Boy, sure could use an illegal immigrant to help me. 😁
