The time for tears is over. I see new immigrants (be they documented or not),
coming to town, going to work every day and spending money. They better
themselves. I'd be at the border handing out visas if I could.

Constantly spending money on my house here. Fixing it up and maintaining it.
The lawn is always cut. Constantly pick up garbage on the streets. I dont care
who lives here or next to me as long as you take care of your property and are
civil and law abiding. If you are not, I don't give a flying f$ck what happens
to you but I will do whatever I can to get you out of here.
