Needleman.

Yesterday in Queens NY, poor black folks couldn’t get their holiday food bank meals. Because the ILLEGALS got there first! It’s a damned shame. This is VERY personal to me because I run a food bank myself. And NO WAY would I ever give illegals preference over American citizens! Black folks had to fight for everything we got, and now the Democrats are taking it away and giving it to people who ain’t even citizens here. Y’all can add this BULLSHIT to the list of things to …

In fact, such study is a fake, simply because all the national leaders forever enjoy their personal cooks, and our general mass may always need food stamps. This is just Economics 101!

I lived in Asia for years. Guess what? I learned their language. If you are coming to live here, learn English. Face it, go to other countries, their government doesn’t bend over backwards to provide services in English. We shouldn’t do so, either.
