Hey I’ve got a great idea, let’s all vote Democrat so we can open the border and help the Mexican gang bangers become billionaires by human smuggling people from every nation on earth into the United States. Of course we can use US taxpayer money to give them all free transportation, healthcare, housing and education. Then we can defund the police, and open up the prisons.
