They just assume that anyone with a Hispanic name is an illegal alien. I wonder how many of them are aware that there are Californians of SPANISH descent whose ancestors were American citizens BEFORE the ancestors of many Americans of Irish, Italian, German and eastern European descent.
Shhhh....
Don’t you know the to many on FR if yer not a WASP yer not a real ‘merican.......
I have a nephew who is half Mexican, father was a legal citizen and he is a legal citizen too. I guess in these people’s minds they are trash worthy of a torturess death too.
There is no difference between these remarks and the hateful vomit spewed at DU.
This is true. Having an Hispanic surname is a problem now: New York City has tried to force 4th generation Americans with an Hispanic surname into “bilingual” classes. They had to sue to get their child out of the bilingual program, even though nobody in the family spoke Spanish.
“They just assume that anyone with a Hispanic name is an illegal alien.”
That and they have extremely poor reading comprehension or are too lazy to read at all. The article clearly states that she was a California native.
FR seems to have attracted a large group of posters that are hostile to anyone Hispanic, regardless of whether they are legal or not. I am glad to know that it bothers someone other than me. Ignorance is not a conservative value.
Assuming is bad way to go - we have a couple in our church with a very Spanish sounding name (Garcia)- and the parents and kids are all blonde hair, with blue eyes, and the family has been in the country for several generations. I have a student with the last name of Jones - yep, you guessed it, Hispanic.
