Tell her that Mexico is a wonderful country and most of the mexican derived Americans think so much of it that they prefer to identify themselves as Mexican rather than Americans. She should feel fortunate return to the land of her father’s birth and escape from the oppressive and intolerant yanqui.
“Tell her that Mexico is a wonderful country and most of the mexican derived Americans think so much of it that they prefer to identify themselves as Mexican rather than Americans.”
Do you have some hard data to back that stupid statement up?
Too many Freepers make ignorant assumptions like yours. Go check out the rolls of Medal of Honor, Navy Cross, and Silver Star recipients. On those lists you will find many Americans with Spanish surnames. Good men like 1st Lt. Baldomero Lopez USMC Medal of Honor, PFC Harold Gonsalves USMC Medal of Honor, SSgt Ambrosio Guillen USMC Medal of Honor, LCpl Jose Francisco Jimenez USMC Medal of Honor, Capt Jay R Vargas USMC Medal of Honor, Sgt Rafael Peralta USMC Navy Cross.
Those are just the Marines. Here is the list of all Medal of Honor recipients with a heritage you claim are disloyal.

My sons and I proudly carry the surname Castillo. I retired from the Marine Corps after 23 years of active duty and 2 combat tours, Desert Shield/Desert Storm and Somalia. My oldest son did 6 years in the army with two deployments to Iraq. He came home with a brain injury and a Purple Heart after his last deployment. My 3rd son is a Marine Corps Combat Engineer with two tours in Afghanistan. Do some friggin research before you spout off about stuff you know nothing about.
