AWKWARD! This all-American patriot has ILLEGAL ALIENS fighting for his freedom

Filed · 1534

MOBILE, Ala. — There’s no question that patriotic Americans love the military, but local man Custer Laramie puts just about everyone to shame.

From the huge “If You Won’t Stand Behind Our Soldiers, Feel Free To Stand In Front of Them” decal on the rear window of his pickup truck, to the way he sobs whenever he hears Darryl Worley sing “Have You Forgotten?” it’s pretty clear that Laramie takes his devotion to our brave service-members seriously.

But this dedicated flag-waver has a dark secret: Some of those troops that he loves so much are ILLEGAL ALIENS!

How embarrassing! Custer should know that a country without borders isn't a country at all, especially if the very people protecting the nation are CRIMINALS!
