    Gilbert (in Houston, TX) could have been one of the 14 in Texas but God stopped in their Tracks them Ungrateful fake IDIOTIC Kenyans who wanted him "back to Where he Came from "(yet he Gilbert had Laid down his Life so Much for them). One of them Selfish haters he Accomodated for Months (in Early 2008 for Free in Missouri City,TX) even was at the FOREFRONT of Masterminding Turning against Gilbert his Host; the Hand that Accomodated, Fed, Taught him to Drive, Free has, took him for his 1st TX DLisensse (all these for Free), and even gave him ALL the Money for his 1st car. NOTE: But he Joined Gilbert's ENEMIES to destroy Gilbert's life. Phew!!!!!! Lord Have Mercy.

    Are you the Kenyan ROOMMATE who Immpregnated the Foolish Akata in Early 2008? Then she TERMINATED the ROOMMATE's pregnancy.

  5. Shopkeeper.Nov 7, 2018

    Yes I am. And?

  6. Guest1Nov 7, 2018

    Then you're a SHOGA (tamaa ya Mmbwa) asiyejua KUJITINGOZEA. Lea kupata lazima Unyemelee sillies like SHERRIf in Missouri City, TX (kuchafua NDOA za watu). That's what you did when Gilbert let you Live in their House in Early 2008. And FYI:She terminated your Pregnancy; an XtraMarital pregnancy. Shame on You and Her.

    You sure God is involved in this immigration saga...I thought God supports laws of a country... at @Guest 1

    God saves him/her that asks for His SALVATION. But on the other hand: Remember the JUDAS Escariots (Kenyans) in America (who would call ICE on you in a Minute).

  9. Guest1Nov 7, 2018

    OR: Are you ALBERT (or some LGBT Shopkeeper and Hater of Heterosexual Marriages)? You
    so Pretend to be Straight yet so "Crooked" and Creeping on and Defiling & Destroying other people's HeteroMarriages). Huh? FYI: We're watching you.

  10. Shopkeeper.Nov 7, 2018

    "We are watching you". Are you the guy peeping thru my window when I'm...??
    No, soree, not gay and if I was I would be bursting butt cheeks bila aibu. It's not 1983, most people don't care if someone is gay or not. That's their business. You always calling people gay like you're trying to prove something.

    You remind me if a slave master who hates black people but sleeps with the slave house girl 5 times a week. You gay but you can't admit it cos it kill your parents and shame your family name. Pole bro one day utachapwa tarimbo and all your anger and hate will disppear wheN you start living your best life.
    The gay insults are too weak. Call me a Trumper and I'll be offended.

    Not really sure why ICE detains these immigration violators in prisons.

    They should be photographed, fingerprinted, their passport and information stored in a database.
    Then promptly returned to there country.

    Can't respect the rules your not welcome. That's the way it is in almost every country in the world.
