You do know that 200-300 years ago, the Rio Grande Valley wasn't even part of the United States, did you? So they didn't come to the United States. The United States came to them, and "wetback" is a racist term.
Why dont they stay in mexico where the livin is just as easy and good... Why not ???
Because it isn't. Employment, working class wages, and crime rates make living in Mexico very unattractive.
these are criminals ...
I agree, a lot of them are criminals and we need to send the criminals back where they came from.
and since you seem to love your illegal aliens so much ...
Perhaps you misunderstood me. I want them deported. For very, very few of them -- the ones who have been here ten years or more, haven't been arrested for anything (except immigration violations), and have been working, we might consider giving them a path to citizenship. But that's less than 10% of them. If they've been here collecting welfare, cranking out babies so that they can get more welfare, dealing drugs, burglarizing houses and/or turning tricks, they can go back wherever they came from -- perhaps with a nice prison sentence at San Quentin first, if they've earned one.
Just because they haven't been convicted of a crime (besides immigration) and they work doesn't mean it will be good for this country for them to vote.
Don't we have enough Americans with their hands out?
Demanding stuff from us?
Explain why the term wetback is racist?
It means someone wet from swimming the Rio Grande
Why is that racist?
Demeaning. Yes.
Is it racist to demean people who broke our laws to get here?
Thanks to sensitive folks we now call them undocumented workers or residents
Isn’t that ridiculous?
Like calling terrorism man made disasters or Islam a religion of peace
What is your definition of racism?
Ethnic nationalism?
Is that the new threshold...
I grew up back when we had real racism....racial supremacists...
Now all i see is black and latino reverse racism and white inferiority complexes
That does not make me happy....does it you?
I hate to ask but how old are you and where do you live?
I am 55...southerner obviously...
Peckerwood Christian....admittedly
But i spent two decades mostly in latin America and was married to one and. Involved with many
I loved many....i adore Colombia
But i don’t want it replicated here...nor Mexico or Brasil
You know they use the term”mojado” themselves
Does calling folks out as racist give meaning to your life or a sense of superiority
I have never understood the urge but.....no offense..
.yankees and under 45 types just seem to swoon at a chance to call folks bigot
We southerners are so sick of hearing it directed at us from the preening class while our cities turn into Mogadishu that we would usually prefer death by a thousand cuts than have any satisfaction from ferreting out racism
When in reality white America except for a few of us has surrendered
Much less indulge in true National Alliance style racism
Those who fail to grasp culture seem most prone
Aren’t you a lawyer...i took the LSAT last century sometime
Accepted to Travis McGees under grad alma mater...713...1979 scoring system
Went to Bogota instead chasing a lovely from Santander
What a decidedly non anglocentric thing to do
When i came back to US fulltime in 1995
It was hard to swallow how stupid and weak so many had become
But that was only the beginning
