New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a New York City native, raised eyebrows last week after he claimed that he was an illegal immigrant and taunted officials to deport him. “I’m undocumented. You want to deport an undocumented person, start with me because I’m an undocumented person,” Cuomo, 60, said during a bill signing. During the bizarre speech, the New York governor criticized the "extreme conservative movement" for being "anti-immigrant." He said his family, who emigrated to the U.S. from Italy, was constantly ridiculed with a racial slur that he said meant “without papers.”
“I’m an Italian-American. I came from poor Italian-Americans who came here. You know what they called Italian-Americans back in the day? They called them wops,” Cuomo said, referring to the pejorative slur for Italians. “You know what wop stood for? Without papers.”
According to the Online Etymology dictionary, the slur originated from southern Italian dialect “guappo,” which means “dandy, dude, stud.” The dictionary said it’s not an acronym.
A day earlier, Cuomo addressed a group of union workers and said he was “raised by poor immigrants from South Jamaica,” a neighborhood in Queens, New York. His father Mario, a three-term governor of New York, was born in Queens to Italian immigrant parents. His mother, Matilda, was also born in Queens.
Immigrant advocacy group Make the Road Action has called on Cuomo to apologize for the comments.
“To Dreamer and immigrants like me, these fabrications are offensive,” Make the Road Action member Antonio Alarcon said in a statement, adding that the governor “has no idea what it’s like to live as an undocumented person.”

These guys Cuomo and deblasio are bought criminal politicians who are true douchebags
In Governor Cuomo’s case I think “wop” would be the sound made when you slap two handfuls of shiite together.

Well, deport him then.
So if Chris Cuomo is Fredo, is Andrew Sonny?
Same word in Spanish, same meaning, different spelling: guapo.
The slang word I heard among first- and second-generation Sicilian-Americans for a rude person with unassimilated manners was "googoots" (cocozza), literally "pumpkin." There is no direct translation except perhaps "bumpkin" or "mush for brains." When I asked my neighbor for a translation, she said it means "just off the boat."
This is like his “Jews have no rhythm” joke at a synagogue two weeks ago. He keeps thisvup Fordham may demand his diploma back.
Nope. We know your dad. You can claim a lot of things. You are a poor, pale shadow of Mario. You are morally bankrupt, and you have the intellect of a piece of toast, but you are not an illegal.
a wonderful opportunity for DJT to drain a bit of kr*p out of the Swamp!
go for it, President Trump!
(make sure to toss Obama Onto the same deportation plane)
When Trump refers to ILLEGALS he should look into the camera and spell out the word, and lecture on the meaning of the word, to the MSM.
If this is true, then the NY SAFE ACT is invalid and holds to no enforcement thereof.
Must be some kind of chemical or enzyme imbalance in that rascal.
It’s truly amazing the state legislature doesn’t move to impeach and remove this...person.

He and Moonbeam are competing to see who can out moonbeam each other.
Every Rat politician claims(lies) about how they “were raised as a poor black child,” or something to that effect. LOL that Cuomo was busted so quickly.
Cuomo was born on US soil in New York City 60 years ago.
What about Mexican nationals and who-knows-what coming across the border right now?
But does Israel want him back?
Some Italian immigrants did arrive at Ellis Island without papers. THEY WERE SENT BACK.
Don’t worry, according to the son on CNN, his governor dad is working on ways around Presidential pardons. Perhaps the Elder is doing Tide pods? That would account for the foam around his mouth.
Do it!
