Open letter to the thug jackboots-on-the-ground at the border

Hello.
You may really love your job and you may really support this potus.
You may really hate brown people and you may really hate the bleeding heart liberals that decry your actions.
Here is the deal. Throughout history, there have ALWAYS been despots who have ordered their personal armies attack groups of people. Always.
And if you were intelligent to read the conclusion of these stories....the jackboots on the ground end up being hunted down for their crimes against humanity. That would be YOU.
As a state employee in the same state the majority of this is happening...when I was hired, I signed documents that stated that if I was ordered to do something illegal or immoral, I didn't have to carry out that order.
There is a process to go through and it might be a little unpleasant but it sure as hell beats sitting on your porch playing with your grandkids when you are 60 and being dragged off to prison for the rest of your life. Let me assure you "I was just following orders" won't protect you.
Because the thing that history always teaches us is that no matter how far the pendulum swings to the right, it will eventually swing to the left and I am here to tell you...we will hunt you down motherfucker and make sure you pay for your actions.

Love,
The Wild Liberal that you hate today
