#NoWall Fact 3:
The majority of undocumented immigrants DO NOT sneak across the border, they are people who came to the US legally and overstayed their visa. A wall does NOTHING to address this.

#NoWall Fact 4: No, terrorists are not crossing our southern border in droves.
The White House has claimed that 4000 terrorists have been arrested at the border, but the vast majority of them have been at airports not the southern border.

#NoWall Fact 5: Migrant Caravans aren’t armed invaders. They are people fleeing a humanitarian crisis and coming to the border to LEGALLY apply for asylum as required by US law.
Any humanitarian crisis at our border is the FAULT of Trump’s policy.

#NoWall Fact 8: There’s already 650 miles of fencing and wall along the border in the most accessible areas to cross.
