National Cotton accuses Biden of putting arrows on ground to show immigrants 'the way to the US'

'The picture is completely devoid of context,' one expert said of the evidence-free claim.

Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton claimed without proof this week that the Biden administration was leaving brightly colored arrows on the ground to direct immigrants to the U.S.-Mexico border — a claim experts say is likely nothing more than empty fearmongering.

Cotton, who joined several other GOP lawmakers in a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday to push xenophobic rhetoric about a crisis caused by rising numbers of immigrants entering the country, tweeted a photo of a yellow arrow on what appeared to be a white piece of paper or plastic, without any additional information to support the accusation.

"The Biden administration’s approach to the border crisis: arrows to show illegal immigrants the way to the U.S.," he wrote.

3. Yes, Tom.

And he used some of Trump’s orange clown makeup that he left behind to paint them with.

4. Then Cotton should simply turn the arrows around.

Most undocumented immigrants here come by air or sea. Are we seeing arrows in the sky or on the oceans? If not, how the hell do they keep finding us?

8. Amazing he hasn't thought of that yet...

What with his self proclaimed intellect and all. But then, he wouldn't be on teevee if he just shut up and actually did his job.

9. He's probably never seen a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Poor guy.

5. They really have nothing. Zippo.

Face in the direction where the sun sets on your left, rises on your right and just keep walking. No "arrows" required. I'd bet dollars to donuts folks south of the border are aware of that phenomenon.

6. Um.... head north.

If it's early in the morning, put the sun on your right arm.

If it's late in the evening, put the sun on your left arm.

If it's in-between, put the sun on your shoulderblades.


Or... buy a fifty-cent compass. It's not rocket science. The ONLY country on Mexico's northern border is the US.

7. empty fearmongering?

How about wildly creative speculation? Or just flat out made up bullshit.

11. That is pathetic.

That's not a useful arrow. This is directional arrow:
