You guys need to see this and take it in…

Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

First conservatives said they needed to deport undocumented immigrants like me because we don't pay taxes. Then trump went on TV and said him not paying taxes made him smart.

Then conservatives said undocumented immigrants like me should be deported because we bring crime, but then they voted for someone with 34 felonies.

Then conservatives said undocumented immigrants are a threat to national security, but then the FBI said the biggest threat is to national security is white supremacy and conservatives got mad about that.

I'm starting to think it's not because of national security or crime or taxes, I'm starting to think it's about something else.
