Gee. That’s a shame. It’s what happens when you have a community full of illegal, immigrant law-breakers who think America owes them something.

You know what is really sad? My great grandpa manufactured all the burlap sacks with dollar signs on them. When there was a big crackdown in 1942 on bank robberies, his business was destroyed.

“Mexicans from East L.A. who hold green cards don’t want to travel outside the United States, he says, because they’re afraid they won’t be allowed back in.”

Mexico doesn’t want to cooperate with Trump, huh?

Take that Mexico . .

"The measures he’s taking is causing people to hold onto their money.”

“An Aeromexico flight scheduled to depart LAX for Guadalajara on Saturday night has 136 of 144 seats still available. Another flight, scheduled to depart an hour later, has 126 seats vacant.”

Can’t wait to read that Aeromexico is out of business! Des pollos es coming home to roost!

The entire article made me happy. The illegals aren’t spending money to support the businesses that catered to them and there’s even one cleaning up the mess in the streets to make up for his losses. Win/Win.
