Scott Pissant blames high beef prices on immigrant cows

Ah, yes! Who else remembers The Great Illegal Immigrant Caravans and Rawhide Cattle Drives?

Why, it was all over the news!

No, just another soulless hack willing to toe the administration's line that equates to 'all roads lead to immigrants.'

Screw worm from cattle bought in Mexico. Bigger issue is the smaller herd sizes we are seeing.

#8 Ah, yes, who among us can ever forget the infamous Caravans of Illegal Immigrants headed our way, along with their Rawhide Cattle Drive?

Why, it was in all the news, right?

Oh no... oh no... oh no no no no no...

Aren't those the ones that "weigh a hundred and thirty pounds" and they've got calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling seventy-five pounds of prime rib across the desert"?

So many conspiracies...

Caravans of Illegal Immigrants headed our way,

Don't forget the flotillas!

Our famed troll, BullBringer, lives up in Michigan, but the southern border keeps him awake all night! I'm pretty sure he didn't get any sleep the entire Biden presidency because all the news he consumed told him the ebil Mexicans were coming to get him.

I'm good with Mexicans. I'm much more concerned about gay Persians. :-)

Bessent is on a short list of the most ineffective Treasury Secretaries in recent history. Funny how few talk about him being a Gay man in an administration which despises people like him. He appears uncomfortable at all times--stiff yet not formal, friendless and with a whiff of discourtesy. I'll wager he likes wearing a necktie to the golf course, but doesn't play much golf...
