How dipshit's illegal immigration crackdown is impacting high school football
There were more empty seats than usual on the charter bus when the Lyndon B. Johnson High School football team departed campus earlier this summer.
Several families chose not to send their sons to the Texas state 7-on-7 tournament even though it was the first time LBJ had ever qualified.
Parents of those players told LBJ coach Leo Mireles they were concerned about an immigration checkpoint on the highway out of town. They did not want to risk their sons being detained at a time when President Donald Trump is pushing for mass deportations and social media is littered with videos of masked federal agents arresting migrants in the country illegally.
LBJ draws students from the lowest-income parts of Laredo, a sprawling South Texas city of more than 250,000 on the border between the U.S. and Mexico. More than 99% of the student body is Hispanic, according to U.S. News & World Report.

Fascism is a stupid game - maybe the stupidest. You vote for this shit, you deserve what you get.
