After Kathryn Steinle was allegedly gunned down by illegal alien Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez on July 1, GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump said the heinous act brought into focus once more the need to build a wall to seal our southern border. NASCAR responded to the policy proposal by cutting ties with Trump, saying it will no longer use “the Trump National Doral Miami resort for its postseason award banquets.”
Breitbart News previously reported that Sanchez had already been deported five times and had seven felonies on his record, but the immigration stance of President Obama, Governor Jerry Brown (D), California Attorney General Kamala Harris, and even San Francisco County Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, made it possible for him to be in the country — and sadly, on San Francisco’s Pier 14 — on Wednesday when Steinle was killed.
As recently as October 2014 Sheriff Mirkarimi announced that his office would “no longer honor U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers unless they [were] supported by judicial determination of probably cause or with a warrant of arrest….” In other words, illegals would not be detained unless they met a threshold for detainment considered sufficient by the Sheriff regardless of ICE requests.
After Steinle’s murder, Trump said enough was enough. On July 3, he said, “This senseless and totally preventable act of violence committed by an illegal immigrant is yet another example of why we must secure our border immediately.”

I can’t boycott something I never watched.
NASCAR jumped the shark...I didn’t care to see the Daytona race yesterday...
Professional sports are becoming increasingly PC.

Yeah, they are increasingly targeting leisure activities enjoyed by mostly men. Hmmm...it’s almost like their is some sort of plan involved. I wonder....
And kissing the corporate crony ring since the day they decreed restrictor plates on Hemis in the name of "fairness." It was mostly about corporate clout then, it is mostly about corporate clout now. The only difference is that corporate clout today comes bundled with a "community organizer."
Trump must be making some of the usual suspects more nervous than they anticipated, so the France family once again springs into action as the particularly spineless "useful idiots" tasked with "nudging" flyover country.
Race local or die.

NASCAR: This decade’s Dixie Chicks
Is Dixie now the new “N” word?
What the heck does North Carolina have to do with this? :-)
This is not going to go well for NASCAR. What idiot made this executive decision?
NASCAR needs to be excised from the Southland by its hopefully former fans.
They appear to not understand that their base is not amongst the 'elite' in NY and CA.
