																	| Gabby 
																	Mercer: 
																	Middle 
																	Easterners' 
																	Only Goal Is 
																	"To Cause 
																	Harm To The 
																	United 
																	States" |  
																	| "In an 
																	interview 
																	with a 
																	conservative 
																	website 
																	earlier this 
																	year, 
																	Saucedo 
																	Mercer 
																	talked in 
																	depth about 
																	her views on 
																	immigration. 
																	A Mexican 
																	immigrant 
																	herself who 
																	became a 
																	U.S. 
																	citizen, she 
																	said the 
																	issue was 
																	important 
																	because 
																	people from 
																	places other 
																	than Mexico 
																	were among 
																	those coming 
																	across the 
																	border 
																	illegally. 
																	“That 
																	includes 
																	Chinese, 
																	Middle 
																	Easterners,” 
																	she said. “If 
																	you know 
																	Middle 
																	Easterners, 
																	a lot of 
																	them, they 
																	look Mexican 
																	or they 
																	look, you 
																	know, like a 
																	lot of 
																	people in 
																	South 
																	America, 
																	dark skin, 
																	dark hair, 
																	brown eyes. 
																	And they 
																	mix. They 
																	mix in.“And 
																	those 
																	people, 
																	their only 
																	goal in life 
																	is to, to 
																	cause harm 
																	to the 
																	United 
																	States. So 
																	why do we 
																	want them 
																	here, either 
																	legally or 
																	illegally? 
																	When they 
																	come across 
																	the border, 
																	besides the 
																	trash that 
																	they leave 
																	behind, the 
																	drug 
																	smuggling, 
																	the 
																	killings, 
																	the 
																	beheadings. 
																	I mean, you 
																	are seeing 
																	stuff. It’s 
																	a war out 
																	there.”" |
