The whole leftie plan is to provoke and demonize deportations.
“HAVING CHILDREN” DOES NOT MAKE YOU A “CITIZEN”
Personally if I was a Chicago TaxPayer I would sue in Federal Court for lack of Police protection. No guns except to the criminals who walk after being charged and yet citizens cannot have a gun in Chicago. So the Fed's need to solve the problem.
Where were they at Waco? Oh, that’s right, when Feds murder 80-odd religious people, it’s a good thing, not a bad thing.
