    Latinos down in the Texas valley (you know, right next to Mexico) swung hard for Trump. This will be interesting to see how it comes back to bite them.

      Operation Wetback in the 50s deported a shit load of American citizens. I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens again in large numbers.

        My friends uncle got deported as an American citizen a long time ago in San Diego. They arrested him after he realized he had forgotten his wallet and was running home to get it before the next bus came. Obviously, any brown guy running down the street must be an illegal immigrant to these people.
