It's a trope running rampant in reich wing circles that many of the migrants are actually young Chinese men who are actually soldiers.

tRump mentioned men from Congo invading US southern border, or was it being flown in by Biden.

Maybe it's time to check under her dress to see if she's really a...WOMAN?
I mean, you know how Republucans feel about closeted trans people!
She should prove to her constituents and the rest of Congress and American People she's really a woman. Maybe a national unveiling (maybe on Fox to show she's a real 'murican) or getting the NSA or FBI to do a check?
I know that's a litttle sexist but I got the idea from listening to Christo-Republicans.
