Labels are placed on them before even you have a chance to even like...
know what the hell's going on, right?
It's already, that person is a murderer, illegal, you know, a criminal, and then we need to kick them out of this country.
Before you've even had a chance to say who you are or state what you're doing.
That's what was happening with
food trucks, the same exact rhetoric.
Roach coaxes, you're gonna get diarrhea, you might die, we need to get these out of here, don't ever eat on one of those.
It's filthy, it's disgusting, it's an eyesore.
We need to eradicate the world of these things because they are infiltrating our streets and our neighborhoods and before you know it, we're gonna be inundated and run over by them and we have to stop it now.
But it's just other people's culture and the food is delicious.
