The report that the Homeland Security Department plans raids against illegal immigrants was widely attacked Thursday by liberals, but it did pick up one prominent supporter -- Donald Trump. Indeed, the Republican presidential front-runner went so far as to credit himself for the proposal, which has not been officially approved.
In a tweet Thursday evening, Mr. Trump expressed all-capital-letters incredulity that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is "to launch large-scale deportation raids." He not only said it was "about time" for the operation, but began his tweet by saying "Wow, because of the pressure put on by me ..."

Snarlin Arlin the man that was going to reveal the truth about Ruby Ridge and Waco. We Republicans are so gullible that we believe a bullet can go though several layers of people and clothing and wind up on a stretcher in pristine condition.
May we finally free the deluded voters to vote for a fighting patriot.
Crying children and pregnant teenagers will be used to great effect.
They intend to show videos of children uprooted from their homes and babies being ripped from incubators, pregnant women being force out of emergency rooms and into cabs to have their babies. Of course it is because of Trump.
Love it!

At this VERY moment, CNN is doing exactly THAT, AND SAYING TRUMP IS CRAZY and trying to take credit for it.
