Let me use MAGA logic & agree with them for a thought experiment.
The National Guard shooter is an Afghan national, so we must deport all Afghans & Muslims & stop immigration.
OK.
Trump's failed assassins were 2 white men. White men are the #1 domestic shooters in America.
So, deport all whites?

Stop the threats of execution, hanging, and sending a mob before someone gets hurt.
