I just want footnotes



What do you people want anyway?
I just want footnotes
You want open borders and roving gangs of MS13 in our streets!
I just want footnotes
You want every pregnant Mexican to have a free cell phone!
I just want footnotes
You want gas station attendants chopped up and left for dead!
I just want footnotes
I just want footnotes!
“Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States” ended the footnotes.
I just want footnotes
A 1 next to Arino’s name indicating he fled religious and ethnic violence
A 2 pointing to the American children losing their fathers
A 3 for the Massie, Timesela, and Kawuwung families, all fatherless
I just want footnotes!
There are people who we brought here with our blessing
There are people who came here with winks and nods from the State Department
There are people who came here lined up outside the INS building after 9/11
There are people who came here who needed medicine and doctors
There are people!
Not bad hombres, but fathers and mothers… children!
When you eliminated the footnotes you opened it all up to chaos
I just want footnotes!
Footnotes saying Religious Persecution
Footnotes saying Fleeing Civil War
Footnotes saying deportation to home country will be dangerous
Footnotes saying deportation to home country will be deadly
Footnotes noting his connection to America
Footnotes noting he is a United States Marine
Footnotes noting that she is a minor!
I just want footnotes!
