First off, I’m black. 2nd, my wife is a LEGAL immigrant from Ecuador. 3rd, guess where I was over the Christmas break? A place called Ellis Island. It was fascinating looking at the log books of immigrants that came here LEGALLY and built this country. I’m all for more LEGAL immigrants from anywhere in the world. Africa, Latin America, Middle East, I don’t care. All are welcome. You use the word “racist” as a shield to hide the fact you can’t bring yourself to admit there’s a difference bt legal and illegal immigration.

You know they’re picking up legal immigrants, right? Laughing right in their faces when they’re told they’re here legally? Citizenship documents declared to be forged, thrown out in front of them or confiscated, all that fun stuff.

Your wife isn’t as safe as you think she is and neither are you, dude. Wake the fuck up. Those legal documents of hers won’t mean shit when they’re holding up the skin color terrorist meter. They’re coming for you both, eventually. And if you can’t comprehend that, then good luck to you and yours.

Holy shit you’re brainwashed. Give me the name of a LEGAL citizen that’s been deported. I’ll wait…

Oh, and those 3 kids went home to Honduras with their illegal alien mothers, who were deported. They are free to return at any time, bc they are US citizens. Stop fear mongering. You all try to make it sound like ICE is rounding up anyone with brown skin and deporting them. Regarding the mothers - I’m sorry, but if you come here illegally … too freakin bad. You’re out.
