‘Shoot them all at the border and call it good’: DMV worker suspended over viral Facebook post

OREGON — An Oregon Department of Transportation worker is on administrative leave after posting a comment to Facebook saying immigrants who try and cross illegally into the U.S. should be shot at the border.

Lori McAllen’s post reads: ‘I personally think they should shoot them all at the border and call it good... it'll save us hardworking AMERICANS billions of dollars on our taxes!! ;)'

Ironically, the header of her now deleted Facebook profile says “I don’t have room in my heart for drama, disrespect or hate...either love your life or make a change!’

Those who were outraged by her comment flooded ODOT with calls and on Thursday, the agency said it is investigating the matter. McAllen, who has worked for the DMV for almost a year, has been suspended until further notice.

“An employee linked to an offensive Facebook post is on leave while we investigate. We take this matter very seriously and very personally,” ODOT said in a statement. “The comment doesn't reflect our agency values and is disturbing and hurtful. Thank you for your patience as we complete the investigation.”

Many hope that McAllen is ultimately fired.

“Administrative LEAVE? This hate filled racist wannabe MURDERER should have been fired IMMEDIATELY,” writes Angelique Smith.

Alex Garcia says, “Why ODOT is having this horrible woman on vacations? Paying her time off, are you also planning to pay for a beach trip?”
