Lil 'Nita Jams Out

Uncle Same


THE TIDE OF SANGRE MEXICAN@ just won't stop flowing into the Excited States of America. Aging white men in suits are hard up for solutions and are forced to invent weird ideas to try and plug SOME kind of hole in the punctured and leaking census demographic that Bill O'reilly...

Poor Poconos Plastic Plant!


HERE WE GO AGAIN. Another ICE raid. But this time, the story has been somewhat edited, and the roles recast. In today's hair-raising episode, the Dirty Mescans collude with an anonymous but evil Temp Employment Agency (as well as with Dirty Invaders from Indonesia, Malaysia and Ecuador) in an effort...

David Rivas Morales Beat to Death by Crowd

The Lazy Mexicans, Pt. 4437.02


THE JOBS MEXICANS steal from us. Employees worked closely together in frigid temperatures wielding sharp knives, many without protective gear, investigators and former workers say. Some workers, they say, stood in pools of water without boots near submerged electrical cords. Many were forced to work up to 18 hours a...

Prioritizing Acquisitions
