And ignored by Hispanic supremacists and their collaborators.

Just another day in Latin America.

If this was happening on American soil, it wouldn't be worth it. A politician should be more valuable alive.

Unbelievable stuff.

And Democrats want to import this and make our country more like Latin America?

[Fifty Seven]

We should replace our culture with their culture. It will make us a much more peaceful and tolerant society.

Why would anyone want to be a politician under that environment? It is essentially putting a target on their backs.

All they have to do is get here. That makes all the difference according to the left who champion the criminal element.

Also, some of them are *encouraged* to run for office and to not do so could also be hazardous.
