More ICE please MAGA in action.
One only needs to look at shock sites to see what south of the border peoples do on mopeds. Assassinations, robberies, beatings. These garbage people don’t change just because they step on US soil.
.... a chilling effect among moped drivers, leaving some of their most-trafficked pickup spots deserted.....
Aw, gee. What a shame.
Get out of my country!
Yes, it was a tag-team effort. When one would become so tearful for the invaders that he couldn’t see the keyboard, another would have to spell him.
Sounds about right.
