Well, your phrasing of "squabbling among themselves" when the story made no mention of illegals squabbling with illegals is what set my alarms off. Can you explain what you meant by that?
BTW, Mr. HR and I spend plenty of tax money to pay for services for "poor NON-hispanics" as well. We can talk about the evils of the welfare state all day, and we can talk about poor people of all ethnicities, and we can talk about the government's complete lack of balls when it comes to border enforcement, but never assume that "hispanic" always equals "illegal."
Your parents must be proud to see that they have raised a an adult American citizen free of ethnic prejudice.
(Oh, and it was my great great great great grandparents who "came here legally".)
He is completely wrong on this point. The Republican base is probably the most solid group of voters in favor of draconian steps to halt illegals.
The truth is that the party elite see themselves as beholden to other interests than the party base. That and they are elitists and that speaks for itself.
Your hispanic hypersensitivity is understandable but not acceptable. The reason is that illegals,and most of them are hispanic, are the "elephant in the living room".
They are the defacto problem...in this time of war and with the overload they cause on the entire fabric of our way of life. Along with the cute little "mamacitas" and "papacitos" are hundreds of thousands of convicted and freed Mexican prison inmates who have flooded our communities all over the US bringing alarming increases in violent crime and and criminal activity...a fact you in your ridiculous "Latin Pride" appear to wish to totally ignore...along with the criminals who govern the Mexican government.
But wait... it's even worse than that, Tex.
All your freeloading "invaders" have stressed our social and government services abilities to the failure point overloading hospital and critical care services as well as every other kind of government operation to the failure point as well.
Yes. There are muslim terrorists among them. What a fine cover all these mexicans provide for all manner of foriegn invaders with inscrupulous and criminal intentions? It's part and parcel of the new age of world war that employs inconventional and non-militaristic warfare techniques...like confusion in news accounts and criminals deliberately attempting to shame alarmed citizens about "political correctness" when they see their communities overrun by illegal mexican immigrant invaders...
like you are trying to do right here,Patriot.
Fixing all this is not going to be easy...and sissies who take umbrage over plain honest talk won't add anything to the process except to slow it down or ruin it and aid the enemy cause.
If you are the real Texas American you purport to be, you'll join the rest of your countrymen and pop open a can of "WhupAss" and get busy on really fixing things.
Fixing things ____where illegals are concerned is something I'm all for.
Lumping all hispanics together in thought or writing, (albeit a pain in the a$$ to always have to type in "illegal alien" before the word "hispanic") is what gets under my skin. But, words matter.
It is unacceptable and hurtful that if I tear off a toenail with the weed-eater and am sitting in the E.R. waiting room thinking only something as innocuous as how my pedicures are going to look for months to come, that someone else is sitting there thinking, "Oh, great, another illegal whose trip to the E.R. is going to hit me in the Hip-National."
All the more reason to fix this invasion situation, but not a reason to assume all hispanics are illegal or anchor babies.
