      Do what the Governor just did. Deport anyone not from here who are committing crimes. That will send a message to a lot of criminals here who are not from here. Don't feed them or house them, just deport them ASAP within 7 days or less! Once they are released from prison, KICK THEM OUT and NEVER TO RETURN!!!

      Seeing is believing. Hidden identities of persons supposedly arrested is for the joy of the unsuspecting chupid underlings on these VI is more pretend untruths and make believe cacophony. The disrespect thrown so casually at our intelligence in matters that matter is mind boggling.

    It is so fascinating now the United Kingdom appointe is no longer at the helm the number of disruptions in criminal conduct in our country

    The place is 2 small to have all of this foolishness going on and on: Need some law enforcement road block. There are a number of unlicensed vehicles and unlicensed drivers on our public highways
