Certainly. In Southwest states, and larger urban areas in the NE, many Hispanics are legal residents.
Their legality gets less likely in places like Kannapolis, NC and Gainesville, GA. Add in the fact that most legal residents would probably have a valid DL, and any thinking person would be justified in concluding that the perp in this case is illegal. Hardly bigotry; just logic, augmented by experience.
I would immediately say he was an illegal invader [based on his surname], however, the illegal invader apologists (read: liberal RINO pacifist cowards) around here would just accuse me of racism. [emphasis added]Experience? Maybe, if a knee-jerk reaction qualifies. Logic? No. Bigotry? See above.
