Huh? Latino citizens would be intimidated at the polls with the Border Patrol nearby? What do they have to fear they are citizens of this country! What complete and utter nonsense! Read between the lines I'm sure it's about protecting illegal aliens so they won't feel intimidated so they can vote.


"The U.S. Border Patrol canceled a scheduled "crowd control" exercise Tuesday at a port of entry in a Hispanic neighborhood of El Paso, Texas, amid concerns over the drill's timing on Election Day".


"The exercise was scheduled as part of a "mobile field force demonstration" ahead of the potential arrival of a Central American migrant caravan".

I think the idea was to deter those from voting who had no right to vote.

Illegal is not a race. They use these arenas to hire new headcount. As in, speaks Spanish.. Most border patrol are Hispanic.

This was likely an attempt to cause confusion amongst those who want to legally exercise their right to vote. This is yet another example of the toxic influence of Trump.

The Border Patrol were merely doing an exercise preparing for the caravan. Why would they have any interest in frisking anyone at the polls? Brown persons? Oh here we go again!

Confusion? What are you talking about? If you're a citizen of this country what do you have to fear and who's going to stop you from voting? What toxic influence are you speaking of?

The decision to postpone the exercise in El Paso, the home of U.S. Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke, comes amid widespread criticism by members of Congress and civil rights groups.

I know this is critical thinking, and might get lost, but...

RIDDLE ME THIS: Why would an illegal, living life in the lapse of luxury on the tit of you, Sr.Taxpayer, come out of their cocoon to cast an illegal vote, and risk destroying their life of luxury?
