“Listen, this is a act of war through these countries,” Burchett continued. “These people came in and they come across our border illegally. What would happen if 14 million people swarmed border Ever? Still it was spread over four years? Fourteen million people. Do you consider that an illegal invasion? It is an act of war. These people don’t play fair … it’s an act of war. “
