Deport illegal Mexicans

If there was any more demonstrative proof of our need to deport illegal Mexican immigrants, look to California.

On our soil, in the midst of a very contested election, we see people paid to wave Mexican flags, attempting to interrupt and intimidate the American process and let the election be decided by fear and bullying. Donald Trump is so right on immigration.

President Obama has outrageously equated the “demonstrators” with our Founding Fathers, and that is the root of the problem. He is cheering them on. He doesn’t have a clue what it is to be an American patriot and resents the very essence of patriotism.
