This government is criminal by our own (american) terms: Why the fuck are foreigners coming here to swear obedience to a criminal government? Greed? A "better way of life," ie, the consumer benefits of american corporate fascism?

I recommend that foreigners GET OUT NOW, WHILE THE GETTING IS GOOD. Come back and ask for citizenship after we drive the corporate fascists, you know, the people who subverted our Constitution and democracy, the same people who brought you here, and used you as domestic weapons against our rights, wages, and benefits, out of power.

Foreigners who enter our country, legally or illegally, during this era of Corporate Fascism are Enemies of our Country

...

The Second American Revolution has already begun: Which side are you on?

do you back the corporate fascists, their foreigners, and their global empire, or FREEDOM?

Death to the Corporate Fascists, and all of their foreign and domestic minions!
