A.M.F......and "F" doesn't stand for friend.
How much is it going to cost the tax payers to deport them?
They need to up this number to 800/day
What are they gong to do with them?
What are they going to do to prevent them from coming back again?
Turn them in to Soylent Green and they will then be of value!
ICE cleaning up around DC....might catch the Obama clan up in the dragnet of illegals!!!! Ha Ha Ha
Maybe this will free up some parking at the local 7-11 stores. That's where the day labor camps are.
Doesn't matter how much..how much of your loved ones life are u willing to risk to these criminals..would you want to be raped or have your child on drugs or be murder by a gang member..get them out and keep them out.
Cheaper to deport than to keep
Process all of them and let them out on recognizance like you did last week...
Keep it up and keep America safe.
Come into MD. Hurry. We should not have to pay for their deportation. They paid their way to come here so charge them to send them back. Put them on a one-way boat trip with no Capt. and see where they end up.
Ice come to Salisbury they are around in swarms.
KEEP ON KEEPIN ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a start!
The State Department has stated that Cuba, Somalia, Cuba and China refuse to accept any if their citizens when deported from the USA. There is no other alternative but to release then to the city from which the were apprehended. If they have a warrant for an outstanding crime they can be tried, but not deported.
1001 your information is incorrect. Please stop pimping fake news. It's garbage like this that keeps people in ignorance because they don't know what to believe. All these countries are taking back illegal aliens.
Great Work ...Get Em Out !!!
Arrest those Sanctuary officials too , deport them too ....
