@RevolutionNewsDotUS2 - Why are you attacking me? I didn't make a comment to you. Is this how you spread your propaganda to America? You find someone that exercises their Constitutional right to support their President and you slander them for not thinking like you? If you believe in the Constitution so much. Why do you attack those that use their freedoms.

Don't tread on me and I won't tread on you.

I like to keep my messages positive.

Have a wonderful day.

@woodencoasterfan you are right except for two, Puerto Rico is a territory of the U.S, and Cubans are granted political asylum when they touch land.

@WhiteIGNITERS You need to do some research. The Mexicans aren't the only illegal immigrants here in the US. I'm a native born Floridian and I'm a professional over the road truck driver and I've been in all the lower 48 states plus four Canadian provinces. Yes, there are Mexicans that are here iligally, there are also a number of Cubans, Hatians, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Russians, Chineese, and many others from many nations I haven't mentioned. Don't just blame Mexico 4 th immigration problem
