    Sorry about that, I don’t know why I thought you specifically called me a Nazi.

    And he doesn’t say citizens. You can’t deport a citizen. There’s been a lot of ruckus over green card holders, but they are not citizens. Bit of a difference there.

    Hamas supporters? There’s a few, and there’s no reason we should let them stay or let them in in the first place.
