I didn't know illegals are the cause of the California water shortage.

I have been reading the most awful comments about the water shortage. It's all illegals causing it, man. They drink too much water and flush their stools. And they breed like cockroaches.

Shoot, I thought it was because it hasn't rained enough in months and months. Old dumb me.

My grandfather came from Germany. My other relatives came from Ireland.

I know the Irish had a horrible time when they first got here.

I guess I just don't get it. We have every kind of immigrant there is living in my neighborhood. Everybody gets along just fine. But what do I know?

If not them, it's just liberals in general.
