As White House leaders sleep tonight, dreaming of ways to terrorize immigrants, they are protected by those they scorn. I led two infantry platoons in combat. Some names of my soldiers:
Aguilar
Barajas
Diaz
Estrada
Hector
Limon
Paguaga
Rojas
Torres

Good guys. Good soldiers.

4. He Must Have Has Sniper Training

This is a kill shot at the heart of the evil narrative connecting patriotism with hating immigrants.

6. Can anyone confirm the following:

I've always thought of "Arpaio" as a Hispanic name. Does anyone know for sure?

7. Arpaio is Italian.

His parents came from the same region in Italy, so they were most likey part of the 1900 -1910 migration of families fleeing poverty in Southern Italy after drought and volcanic eruptions disrupted agriculture in that region. He was born in the U.S. after his father had started an Italian grocery over here, so I'm thinking he probably grew up not speaking English only at home. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Nonna and a couple Tia and Tio Arpaios came over with Papa and Mama.
