Gateway Pundit posted this video showing black Americans in Murietta confronting pro-amnesty advocates. : It’s an excellent conversation, but there is some NSFW language: What are we gonna do for the people who are here that’s starving already?

He could have stopped at “Why are we giving foreign aid to countries,” but he still makes a great point: Paul spoke out Tuesday at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee, urging his colleagues to “use our might to speak for those who cannot” and to stop: supporting governments that condone practices incompatible with American – and […]
