Incredible. What an amazing new strategy, and why not? Groveling only seems to whet your enemy’s appetite. Who’da thunk it?
Depends, is that just "wetback" or the far worse "Typical wetback"?

Operation Wetback
In 1949 the Border Patrol seized nearly 280,000 illegal immigrants. By 1953, the numbers had grown to more than 865,000, and the U.S. government felt pressured to do something about the onslaught of immigration. What resulted was Operation Wetback, devised in 1954 under the supervision of new commissioner of the Immigration and Nationalization Service, Gen. Joseph Swing.
Swing oversaw the Border patrol, and organized state and local officials along with the police. The object of his intense border enforcement were "illegal aliens," but common practice of Operation Wetback focused on Mexicans in general. The police swarmed through Mexican American barrios throughout the southeastern states. Some Mexicans, fearful of the potential violence of this militarization, fled back south across the border. In 1954, the agents discovered over 1 million illegal immigrants.
In some cases, illegal immigrants were deported along with their American-born children, who were by law U.S. citizens. The agents used a wide brush in their criteria for interrogating potential aliens. They adopted the practice of stopping "Mexican-looking" citizens on the street and asking for identification. This practice incited and angered many U.S. citizens who were of Mexican American descent. Opponents in both the United States and Mexico complained of "police-state" methods, and Operation Wetback was abandoned.

“crackers”, “rednecks”, “honkies”....
No. But whites are all racists, so they can’t speak, didn’t you know?
That council member shouldn’t resign because he said that, at all.
Where’s Teddy Roosevelt when you need him? He’d buy that man a beer.
Obama: “Typical white guy.” < /sarcasm>
Well what is the state of someone who crosses the riogrande without a boat? They certainly aren’t drybacks.
“But, no, I’m not resigning. I don’t do what Austin tells me to do.”
Um....Silly me. I always thought that elected officials were SUPPOSED to do what the voters wanted.
How naive of me.
Sad, but true for names will break my bones however sticks and stones will never hurt me.
But now, the town is majority Mexican and he hates that.
It makes him feel better to call them wetbacks. It makes him feel even better to use the phrase "holding pen" because holding pens are for animals and wetbacks(and all Mexicans) are animals.
In fact, the cornerstone of the anti-immigration movement is to sub-humanize the immigrants(legal and illegal).
César Chávez, an opponent of the Bracero Program was the first person to use the term ‘wetback’ on national television in reference to illegal aliens who swam across the Rio Grande from Mexico.
Only whitey honkeys can be racist since we are the only ethnic group in the universe that has “power”.
I'm seeing things happen lately...
The Second Amendment challenge in the Supreme Court...
That sign on the cheesesteak restaurant in Philadelphia being ruled legal and allowed to stay...
It's probably much too early to wonder, but...
Are we finally going to start standing up and fighting for for our rights?
The same folks who are asking this man to resign are the ones standing by Barack Obama, who is standing by Rev Wright. So they dont have any standing to call on anyone to resign over insensitive remarks when they are willing to stand with the man who stands with “G-d D888 America” Wright.
Is “wetbacks” worse than “whities” or “gringos”??
A: maybe. this is a ‘whose ox is gored’ comment. Those who want to erase the concept of illegal immigrants as a group want to elminate all the words for it, especially ugly colloquialisms. OTOH, IMHO, it’s not much worse than calling all whites “anglos”, a term that at least to me is ‘offensive’ and wrong.
There is a Hard Rain Gonna Fall
Get with the times.
All Typical White PeopleTM are called "anglos".
