CeeBS version of the illegal rally...
Reality version of the illegal rally...
Ain't the "main stream media" just wonderful?
See ya on the border...
Yup
this is without a doubt mexico north now ,
What ever we try will be frowned on and looked as racist and picking on poor mexicans ,
anything that slows thier invasion now is taken to court by the la raza and other goons using our own legal system against us ,
We need a strong leader , someone not afraid of them to seize power and rid this country of this menace , I'm sure most of America would stand behind anyone that offers to do that and has the least amount of credibility
Wrong! I picked this up off of Indimedia.
That link isnt working, gotta go reset the domain name I guess. This one should work.
See yall on the border...
