Thank you Mr. Perot.
Dubya let in tens of thousands on his own.
I recall being stupefied at how this man I crawled over broken glass to elect was flooding the country with Somalis.
They’re Muslims aren’t they? Well in keeping with their religion every one of them who’s convicted should have a hand cut off before being deported.
” Well in keeping with their religion every one of them who’s convicted should have a hand cut off before being deported.”
Stealing from the infidels is not a crime.
80,000 Somalis is actually not that much.
Even if they all lived in one CD, they would be barely over 10% of that district.
It seems that they are quite overrepresented.
Ah I forgot, but since they’re all involved in it they’re actually stealing from each other to a certain extent. I remember reading about some Indians in a Saudi airport who were killed on the spot for smuggling gold. Not sure if it was true or not.
heads up
With Tiny Tampon Tim
Informative post, Drew.

Just heard that Bacon makes muslims Cry
And making Muslims cry is a felony in Florida.
DeSantis should be ashamed of himself for the blasphemy law he signed.
I was very disappointed with him for this, particularly since he's otherwise been a terrific governor.
federal government needs to sue the state to recover the funds, individually sue the criminals including the governor and empty the state of illegals
