Yes, if only.
It’s apparent the kid made a simple mistake. He approached the feds. Held since Monday without charges? Like we’d get away with that with their ‘citizens’. I really want to know why we cowtow to Mexico as we do. It’s outrageous. I wish I knew 20 million pissed off AMERICANS who would walk across that border with me and tell Mexico to go to hell. I’m afraid our own government would probably shoot us for that.
You are right. Howver, “kowtow” is spelled with a “k”. the term is not about cows. It is an Anglicization of a Chinese term for the proper method of bowing to a Chinese emperor.
