WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. Filemon Vela took a poison pen to the Republican presumptive presidential nominee, Donald Trump, in an open letter Monday morning.
"Mr. Trump, you’re a racist and you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass," the Brownsville Democrat wrote in a lengthy missive to the real estate magnate.

These people are delusional and insane. They are traitors.
“The wall just got 10 feet higher!”
Nope. It’s 10’ deeper up Vela’s ass!
Winning!
Some of Rep. Vela’s ancestors may be from Mexico, but this congressman was born and reared in Texas, the son of a federal judge (his father) and a former mayor of Brownsville (his mother.)
You may not like his politics or agree with him on this issue, but he’s from a well-educated and respected family.
Please remember that many multi-generational Texas families are of hispanic heritage, and, like the Irish of New York or the Cajuns of Louisiana, they are honorable Americans. Particularly in the Rio Grande Valley, some of these families became citizens of the U.S. at the same time that Sam Houston did.
Argue if you will the politics, but please understand the difference between natural born citizens and illegal immigrants.
Of course.
Texans don’t need that Rio Grande water. Not at all.
Then why did he feel the need to align himself with La Raza?
Technically he may be American, but his heart is Mexican.
I totally understand the difference between NBCs and illegal immigrants.
Both my parents were LEGAL immigrants from a non-European country.
My question is where do Rep. Vela’s loyalties lie? The country he is sworn to represent, or the country some of his ancestors left?
The people of his congressional district, obviously. And that’s in Texas.
Texas has some major vermin cleaning to do.
There are a lot of Texas heroes rolling in their graves, count on it.
His loyalties lie with open-borders, anti-American sovereignty, and with the NWO agenda.
Someone check his background. He probably is an illegal alien or harbors them on his estate. What an embarrassment.
Only one candidate running has voted to allocate 7 billion for a wall.
Hillary.
H.R. 6061 (109th): Secure Fence Act of 2006
Hillary for a border Fence!

“I voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in,” Clinton said
“and I do think that you have to control your borders.”
I have no idea if Rep. Vela has any association with La Raza, and I doubt you do.
Here’s an excerpt from the article:
“Vela notes in the letter that he agreed with Trump on some policies, like improving veterans care, addressing Mexican drug cartels and deporting criminal felons who are in the country illegally. . .
. . .Vela then pointed out that his own family lineage in the United States goes back farther than Trump’s paternal grandfather.
“Before you dismiss me as just another ‘Mexican,’ let me point out that my great-great grandfather came to this country in 1857, well before your own grandfather,” he wrote. “His grandchildren (my grandfather and his brothers) all served our country in World War I and World War II. His great-grandson, my father, served in the U.S. Army and, coincidentally, was one of the first ‘Mexican’ federal judges ever appointed to the federal bench.”
It’s pretty obvious that this guy just disagrees with Trump, and that’s very much allowed in our free society.
Read the article, please.
His family has been here since 1857.
BINGO.
Mexico is pushing the Mestizos out.
Still no excuse for joining La Raza.
Make its District pay for it too.
Then exile him for the remainder of his worthless lawless existence.
