Which no one is more surprised by it than her. And now she's stuck using the same strategy because she never had 1to begin with. The only thing I ever hear her talk about is race, that is it. And now all of a sudden, she wants to do something about the border. They've been asking for help. When they went into office, they were ignored for 4 years. Multiple agencies be administered or state or even federal. They've ignored them all ask her. How many times have you been to the Borders since you've been Vice President?
