I wish people were not so retarded and would just keep their comments to their selves sometimes NOT EVERY SPANISH PERSON IS ILLEGAL!!!
I’m sure Senior Castro has NEVER been in trouble before in this country before and that he is here legally and NOT a drain on my tax dollars. I am SO tired of this!
AJ, I hope they find him and lock him up for life (or send him on a Virginia-style one-way trip to hell).
But on what basis do you assume that he’s here illegally? [Don’t answer that, I saw the picture too.]
His nickname, Boricua, means he’s probably Puertorican, which would make him a U.S. citizen. And we generally don’t deport U.S. citizens (although we do send them to Guantanamo Bay these days).
why is he smiling in that photo?
is that funny? i hope they find him and deport him, take that smile off his face.
