Corruption-or-crime Quote by De philosopher DJ Kyos
““How do you expect politicians to fight illegal immigration when they are deeply dependent on it? When their campaigns and party funding are supported by undocumented immigrants. When their rallies and stadiums are filled with them to create the image of mass support. When campaign posters across cities are put up by them. When a large portion of their votes allegedly come from individuals given false identification. When they are used as rented crowds for court appearances and media events. When they are mobilized for protests, sometimes escalating into unrest to push political agendas. When, in extreme claims, even acts of intimidation or violence are attributed to them. In many of these cases, they are used to do the work politicians would rather avoid doing themselves. So, how can anyone reasonably expect politicians to take a strong stand against something from which they benefit?””
