Thanks Obama and Democrats. And what’s with this supervised release crap? He’s here illegally. Deport his A$$ and the rest of him too.
Can you get a drivers license in Iowa if you are an illegal alien? When he gets out he’ll have to serve 1 year of supervision, probably by the farmer that had previously employed him.
There are a couple of farmers over there that bring in illegals by the van load. Everyone knows it, but no one does anything about it.
Lots of illegals over there working in the egg plants and chicken farms.
