Trump was right! Thanks Joe!
Trump or Joe, neither are the blame for this. Whites stab whites….blacks stab blacks….hispanics stab hispanics and they all stab each other…..it’s called “free will”. They make the choice to do what they do ! Them and them alone are responsible for their actions.
Then they can go back and do it there, south of the border. It true, that it is called “free will”, but I didn’t vote to have that free will brought to the US, and Joe encourages that free will to come to the US. And before the bashing begins, tell me crime was worse under Trump.
SOOO when someone moves to your sacred land of Maryland from let’s say, Anchorage, Alaska, and they commit a crime. Do you send them back to Alaska? Because it’s far?? Or do they have access because of citizenship? Where does your hate begin and end?? THank GOD the victim survived right?! Remember?
Alaska was a state in the union last time I checked. I’m talking about domestic and federal support for non-Americans. Yes, I do have pride in my country and its sovereignty. Only a true racist would make my previous comment about hate. Never once did I mention or imply hate. You just did that in your own little narrow mind.
The fact that this man and his parents were both born here in the USA and you’re saying send them back south across the border is what made this about hate. Most of the ‘hate’ I see these days is just ignorance combined with arrogance.
