Danged Frenchmen at it again...
Build the wall!
I doubt this cat would do such a heinous act, unless the Russians put him up to it.
ILLEGAL?
He is on his way to the border to cross back into Mexico. Funny how they do not tell us they are here illegally. Keep the public in the dark. That's the way of the Maryland government these days.
