Seems appropiate another band of rapacious looters and rapists erect yet another monument to their crimes in what’s now become a citadel of criminal malfeasance, Washington, D.C. Now if we could just move those monuments to American history out to make more room.... PS

I think a dumpster loaded with the crap that illegals leave on this side of the border would provide a fitting tribute.

Proof positive that the ruling class have lost their collective minds.

Next in the pipeline: The national LGBT museum, and the national Muslim musuem.

Er...every building built in California in the last 10 or 20 years was built by Latinos. You rarely see a white guy on a construction site.

“a national museum devoted to American Latino history and culture to be built on a grassy site”

Calling attention to lawn care and leaf blowing, that’s racist!
