Im alex witt alongside louis burgdorf. Donald trump called for a military deportation during manufacturing of ceos. We are getting really bad dudes out of this country. And at a rate that nobody has ever seen before. And they are the bad ones. And its a military operation because what has been allowed to come into our country, when you see Gang Violence and you have read about it like never before, all of that, much of that is people here illegally.
