Mexican immigrant scales 18-foot fence and jumps across US border – just a few yards away from four US senators who were on a fact-finding tour

But one woman picked the wrong day and the wrong place to cross over, jumping into America just a few yards away from four US senators who were visiting the Arizona border as part of a fact-finding tour. Republican Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake of Arizona, Democrat Michael Bennet of Utah and Democrat Chuck Schumer of New York were near the town of Nogales when the illegal immigrant made her mad dash and ended up in the waiting arms of US Customs and Border Patrol officers. McCain tweeted the surprising event Wednesday afternoon. 'Just witnessed a woman successfully climb an 18-ft bollard fence a few yards from us in #Nogales,' he wrote.

Those dumb senators probably thought it was a stunt! They have proclaimed the border is secure. I guess they didn't see the 18 ft. ladder on the other side of the fence?
The only thing they care about are votes to keep them in office forever. Throw them out!!
