"Mexican-Americans are not going to take this lying down," singer Linda Ronstadt, a Tucson native, said at a news conference on a lawsuit planned by the American Civil Liberties Union
No, looks like you'll take it lying down with a 50 pack of Oreos.
When titanic walruses attack.
Love it. This will backfire on all these idiots.
Shut up and sing
Uhhhhhhhhh, somebody is focusing on racial stereotypes -- but I think it's the Left.
Blubber gone wild
I don’t like baseball, but it looks like I’m buying some AZ Diamondbacks gear.
Don't lay down Linda. It would take a crane to put you back on your feet. Lay off the truffle tacos.
WHEW! I haven’t seen a picture of Linda lately, and that is just nauseating this early in the morning Joe...

It took two Asspress clowns to write this?
Oh sh!t...in reading the article, it looks like Ricky Martin opposes the law too! That changes everything! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A DORK!

From what I understand, Linda took it lying down with just about everybody in the West Coast music scene.
And officials in El Salvador urged countrymen to avoid traveling to Arizona, according to the Foreign Ministry.
So the mayor of Mexico City is going to sue to overturn the law? The way Mexico intervenes in our politics just makes my blood boil. I agree with the El Salvador official's boycott--stay the Hell home. Quit coming here looking for a handout.
BTW, the hispanics I know and have grown up with oppose illegal immigration, just like the majority of us do.
‘Entertainers’ the world over are traditionally the sub-culture most at variance with establishment/government opinion.
Has anyone noticed that in America, we now have a situation where the ‘sub-culture’ (in America’s case, an aggregate of sub-cultures massed to form a single populace) represents the establishment?
If taken each on their own, NOT ONE of these sub-cultures represents anything like a numeric majority or holds economic/social/educational/cultural parity with mainstream America or the actual numeric preponderance of people sharing a common culture in this country…. i.e., the Americans who work, pay taxes, and who feel profound, enduring and absolute allegiance to THIS country to the exclusion of all others…etc…..
It is not RACIST or anything else, to believe that this exclusive and hard-won right to NATIONAL sovereignty may NOT be lawfully challenged within the borders of the U.S.!!!!
It’s simple…Chinese may protect THEIR borders; Swiss may protect THEIR borders; Paraguayans may protect THEIR borders, etc.…. Why is this issue politicized beyond all logic in the U.S..????????????????
