Then they will pass it along and have everybody memorize it and use the talking points they come up with.

pretty rural and a route of travel for migrants and smugglers. I say normal in quotes - part of the massive militarization of the southern border region in the last 2 or 3 decades, both parties. this incident may not be related to the current extreme nazi shit we are seeing the last year or so
