LOS ANGELES, CA — The Republican Party expressed gratitude to a local group of illegal immigrants who helped film some commercials for the next presidential campaign.

The rowdy group was filmed torching cop cars, looting stores, and waving Mexican flags, providing some "killer" footage for the 2028 race.

"Man, this is great stuff," said one Republican consultant as he reviewed a scene of several illegal immigrants defecating on an American flag while throwing bricks at people's faces. "We couldn't have asked for better footage here. Just 10 seconds will give us a 10-point boost in the polls. Thanks, illegals!"

Sources say Republicans have approximately 3,000 hours of footage depicting illegal immigrants behaving violently and cursing the country that allowed them in. "This is just the beginning," said one strategist. "I just saw an illegal immigrant shout 'Death to America' before kicking an old lady down some stairs. This is absolute gold."

Local authorities are urging rioters to reduce the violent behavior, or at least make sure there are no cameras rolling first. "Make sure the cameras don't catch your acts of terrorism," said L.A. Mayor Karen Bass.

At publishing time, California Governor Gavin Newsom had finally quelled the violence after learning his boss, CCP President Xi, was coming into town for a visit.
