You need to look at how blue Texas is along the border and rethink that part about Latinos not being Democrats. The blue parts of Texas show up along the Texas/Mexico border. You ask them why they vote Democrat and they will tell you thats because that is the way their family has always voted. The younger ones are now learning it PAYS.....
Your last part I absolutely agree with. Working class Mexicans in South Texas call them straight out mojados (wet backs) ( I guess I can use that word since I am a cracker whitey bohunk) when they see them. They steal their jobs and make them look bad.
I’m from a ranch in SW Texas-my family has lived in SW/W Texas since the late 1780’s-I’m quite well aware of the “blue” corruption of the border areas-I remember the talk by adults about that corruption when I was a kid-but those were not the people my family hung out with-most of the democrats lived in towns and cities even back then.
I’m Latino, do blue collar work because I like it-and I have no problem calling an illegal a mojado-that is what they are-out here, if someone hires them and we find out about it, we call la migra, too...
