Yes, Minneapolis wants your illegals. Would prefer illegal alien murderers, rapists, robbers, etc. from Third World Countries. Significant ICE activity has winnowed criminal illegal aliens from the Minneapolis society which has resulted in a huge revenue loss to Minnesota government employees, NGOs and Somalia. Minneapolis is offering generous medical, welfare, and legal opportunities to new neighbors (employment opportunities are not offered or necessary). Contact Governor Walz's Neighbor One Office for more information.

Video posted to X shows the moment an unhinged female was shot as she carried out her act of violence. Additional footage clearly shows that an ICE officer was in danger of being run over as Good accelerated. However, something humorous and satisfying has emerged from this unfortunate...

Gavin Newsom and his Democrat supermajority (there are currently 90 Democrats running Sacramento's legislature, with only 30 Republicans) have brought high taxes, crime, homelessness, rampant illegal immigration, and (in)affordability.

Whether or not you like really, really rich...
