Round ’em all up!

I have been wondering whether any Trump followers gave a damn whether or not an immigrant is in the country legally or even if they are a citizen and I think we’ve answered that question.
@secupp @ggreenwald Ramos wants what all illegals want, no law for them

Univision later posted video of what happened after Ramos was escorted into the hall by security: A Trump supporter confronted him and said, “You were very rude. It’s not about you. Get out of my country.
Ramos noted that he’s a U.S. citizen and the man responded, “Well, whatever. No, Univision, no. It’s not about you.”
“It’s not about you. It’s about the United States,” Ramos replied.
I just love that a Trump supporter is complaining about “rudeness.” How politically correct of him.
Of course it doesn’t help that a bunch of sycophantic Washington reporters are wringing their hands over Ramos’ dogged questioning of Donald Trump’s plan to deport millions of Latinos “so fast your head will spin” — by letting the police take the gloves off. You see they’re worried that Ramos looks “biased” for actually trying to pin down a racist demagogue about how he plans to round up all his relatives and that reflects badly on them. I’m not exaggerating.
These elite journalists would have been checking their hair in the mirror while the black-shirted thugs beat people right in front of them.
Greenwald has written all about this embarrassing journalistic episode. It’s just so — predictable.
