Texas, beware of Mexi-RATs! They are what’s going on here in CA. Left to their own devices they will do all in their power to turn Texas into Mexico del Norte.

Representative Rinaldi took an oath to uphold and defend the constitution and the laws of the United States. He did his duty. The Texas Attorney General must identify and arrest whoever physically attacked him or verbally threatened him. Lawbreakers must be punished.

I agree, it’s disgusting. The dems physically attacking and threatening Rinaldi over removing disruptive paid demonstrators who were holding up signs saying they’re here illegally.
The dems got BIG problems in their party and this is why.
The media wants to focus on the “bullet in your head” comment from Rinaldi, but he’s not backing down from the statement and said he was attacked and threatened.

Disgusting. The dems are just vile.

ICE needs to be called EVERY time illegal aliens march with signs saying they are illegal and staying.

And ICE needs to respond.

Allowing this flagrant flouting of our laws cannot continue.

North Mexico was the only vision that the Bush family had.

Illegals need to be removed from this country - all of them. But until they are, they need to get back into the closet and take the homos with them.
