In conclusion
All the smiles in the world, all the glad-handing of civilians, all the hand-shaking at elder care centers and local festivals can’t hide the cruelty of the jackbooted thug behind them. It was not enough for Francis Nova to work security for the Burlington ICE office; he’s in the trenches now, oppressing immigrants as another lump of foaming santorum within the modern-day brownshirts that U.S. immigration enforcement has become. May every smile immigration agent Francis Nova give to the people in his community be seen through, for the feculent, slimy façade it is.
