Seeking to draw attention to the influx of migrants at the US-Mexico border, Representative Lauren Boebert brought along a thermal space blanket to US President Joe Biden’s first big speech in Congress.
The first-term Republican lawmaker from Colorado unfolded a thermal space blanket similar to those given to migrants in detention facilities at the southern border, and kept it on her lap as she listened to Biden’s speech and live-tweeted.
“Biden’s solution to illegal immigration is amnesty and open borders,” the congresswoman wrote on Twitter, describing the situation at the border as
“a war zone.”
