West Michigan is not going to accept the open southern border causing murders in our backyard. President Trump deported this man and somehow he got back and committed murder. Unacceptable.

Priceless. Wonder if Slotkin will ever tell us what was in the Non Disclosure Agreement the CCP made her sign? Maybe she will finally ask Whitmer to stop subsidizing the CCP. $400 for every man, woman, in Michigan going to help CCP EVs. Crazy, wasteful government spending.
