During last summer’s border crisis, left-wing and mainstream media outlets mocked Americans who were concerned that illegal immigrants may be carrying disease like Tuberculosis.

We saw Willie on a local bay area news program really putting down Villaraigosa and pushing Harris past the nausea point.
Satan, is my guess. : )
I won’t bet against the house here : )
This is another reason Obama is frantic for amnesty. It is yet one more way to stick it to this country.
Is Willie Brown still alive? I read an article on Rev. Jim Jones, and Willie was one of his major supporters.
Syphilis was from the Aztecs, in fact, it was considered “Montezuma’s gift”.
