The cool part is how his admin's crackdown on "illegals" has completely eradicated crime. So of course deploying troops will only make america even greater! /s
Brown crime. White crime is still all the rage and in full force.
This is so funny to me... because I grew up around criminals. Some of them were Arabic, but they were just a few in larger groups of white criminals - who all colluded together.
Since the police racially profiled the Arabic kids they were used as bait while the white kids would transport the illicit goods.
Then the cops would end up with no evidence and the cases got dismissed. Now that's what I call gaming the system.
Reminds me of the boyfriend of an old coworker. Before he turned his life around, he was an addict that the cartels used a few times to run drugs across the border. The way that worked was that they'd dress him up in some nice clothes, a pair of sunglasses, and throw him in a beautiful convertible with the top down and a load of drugs in the trunk. Border patrol would never bother to stop or check a rich white guy coming back from a 3 day weekend in Mexico, and he'd drop the car off at a gas station a few miles past the border.
