Wonder what Cornyn thinks about Operation Wetback.

“Wetback” has nothing to do with race. It has to do with somebody’s immigration status. Just another ploy by the party of race baiters.

“Mexico is the United States’ third-largest trading partner.”

Might be but Mexico charges 100% duty on all US products on the mainland and 50% duty to Baja and we don’t charge hardly anything on their products coming here.

We should charge 100% for all their products until they drop their duty.

quote “but that's not the sort of way to gain people's confidence that you care about them and you want to represent their concerns in the halls of Congress”

um... hey Cornyn...here's a news flash for you!! you can't represent someone who is here illegally !

Their representatives are in Mexico!

I have nothing against Hispanics, I am just sick and tired of those who are invading our country in the millions and overwhelming out system and depressing wages for your REAL constituents! you know! the people who actually VOTE for you!

As much as we might toss those terms around here in FR, that’s not the kind of verbiage that gets you elected.

You don't live in Texas do you? This is just one of the stories on-line about what Texas Ranchers face, chosen at random for expediency. Things are much worse now.

In Texas, nearly 8,200 farms and ranches back up to the Mexican border.

The men and women who live and work on those properties say they’re under attack from the same drug cartels blamed for thousands of murders in Mexico.

“It’s a war, make no mistake about it,” Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples said. “And it’s happening on American soil.”

Texas farmers and ranchers produce more cotton and more cattle than any other state, so Staples is concerned this war could eventually impact our food supply, and calls it a threat to our national security.

“Farmers and ranchers are being run off their own property by armed terrorists showing up and telling them they have to leave their land,” Staples said.

Do you have a link for that claim? Doesn't sound NAFTA friendly...

Well, I don’t say wetback-I say mojado, and that is a pejorative-but I can say it because my ancestry is latino...

I don't know anything about Cornyn’s primary challengers.

Was this Mapp guy a serious candidate before he said these things?

“that's not the sort of way to gain people's confidence that you care about them and you want to represent their concerns in the halls of Congress.”

Newsflash, Cornball: you're not supposed to be representing the concerns of illegal aliens in the halls of Congress. Try representing the citizenry for a change. This kind of attitude is why we want you OUT.

“Would have been better if he had not used such language; but, now that he has, his best bet is to do what the Democrats do — wallow in it, say it again and again, and stay on the offensive no matter what. We’ve got to stop running away every time the RINOS stamp their feet.”

Excellent.

I’m sick of seeing conservatives grovel everytime the leftists demand an apology.

RE: “President Eisenhower used the term wetback, so it must be OK and not a slur.”

Ike also called the D-Day invasion “the Great Crusade.”

There are probably more people who agree with what he said than many may think.

Funny the only shot fired was the one Mapp put in his foot.

What is wrong about using proper names instead of made-up names? ILLEGAL immigrants from Mexico were called 'wetbacks' for ages. Now people get their panties in a knot about that. And it is ILLEGAL to enter without documentation, my house or my country. So I can't shoot someone invading my house? Really? And by extension I can't shoot someone invading my country? Really? Men do what men have to do, whether defending their home or their country. People who do not understand this are in the way of civilization and culture and there are consequences.

This guy is going to give Cornyn the poseur a run. Aks yourself why that is.

I dont think Mapp is trying to get into second place. If it does get him in to second place at least force a runoff good for him.

There probably is 10 or 20% who might vote for him based on this and get the challengers totals above 50%.
