Kansas City Blogger Shares Illegal Immigration Juxtaposition

TKC readers may agree or disagree . . .

But we wanted to share this missive because there's often a misconception that EVERYONE in red state Missouri & Kansas agrees with MAGA policy just because of election turnout. 

Make no mistake, KC is in the heart of MAGA Country . . .
