Do you get it, now?

If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal
aliens...

You are part of the problem!

It's way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!

Good analysis of the problem, plus, they make the lines longer at the cashiers in Walmart. Open season on em!

Well Said!!!!!

Our politicians have failed us, its time to get new ones! If they voted for the "stimulus package" either being Dem OR Rep they should be voted out of office. Less than 10% of the stimulus money has even been used and it is still not working. Should have just give "the people" our money back and let us manage it.

If they voted for gun restrictios, they need to be voted out of office. A criminal is a criminal so he isn't going to follow the "rules". He now has the advantage by having a loaded illegal gun ready to go. There should be OPEN carry laws in EVERY state. If you have a concealed carry permit it should be legal in all states!

They are right we need reform, we need to reform the people that are in office.
