WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. Filemon Vela took a poison pen to the Republican presumptive presidential nominee, Donald Trump, in an open letter Monday morning.

"Mr. Trump, you’re a racist and you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass," the Brownsville Democrat wrote in a lengthy missive to the real estate magnate.

“What race is Mexican? caucasoid, negroid, or mongoloid?”

Beaneroid?

By pure coincidence I was flipping the channels in my radio this weekend, and caught a re-run of an old Art Bell program from 1996.

His topic: the promises of the government to stop illegal immigration and to build a wall.

His monologue, and his discussions with callers, could have happened yesterday. And of course, even back then most of his callers were calling about the terrible effects hiring of illegals was having on American workers, especially in the construction trades.

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Filemon Vela (D-Brownsville) issued a statement on immigration reform,
“.......backing the positions held by the National Council of La Raza, the National Immigration Law Center, and La Union Del Pueblo Entero (LUPE) that a border security “trigger” needs to be separated from the immigration debate.

2banana :" But yet the very strict Mexican immigration laws are not racist.."

Mexicans are a race ?
Not by any stretch of the imagination !
They are a "race" only in their minds, and by virtue of a political lobby : "La Raza".

Maybe we should treat the Mexican immigration just like they do in Mexico !
In legal terms it is "reciprocity"
The penalty for immigrating into Mexico without permission : Three years in prison.
The Mexican economy is dependent on Mexican natives sending money back home to support their extended family.
The Mexican "Gross Domestic Production " economy is a result of Mexicans working in the United States, not by any Mexican industry or business.

Great post. For a long time, I’ve suspected the Bush family to be Democrat moles sent to destroy the Republican Party from within.

We should return the favor. If my neighbor throws his trash over my fence, it’s only fair I repay him.

Can you imagine their face if we emptied American prisons and ghettos and dropped them off down south.

It is that way in the far south-always has been-but democrats lost control in most of the state about 20 years ago, and they lose more seats just about every election-smart people of Latino ancestry always vote republican...

"funny how the story leaves out the party affiliation."

That's odd. On the version of the story that appeared on my screen, after reading all the way down to the second paragraph, the story mentions that he is a Democrat.

"Mr. Trump, you’re a racist and you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass," the Brownsville Democrat wrote in a lengthy missive to the real estate magnate."

Continuing to beg Obama to make the word “illegal” mean the word “legal”.

Filemon Vela.....it sounds like a veneral disease you contract from a Mexican whore.

If this idiot gets run over by a drunk driving illegal, is it OK to laugh?
