Was that a recent development??

Must have happened while I was away on holidays..... I never heard
anything about it.

It has a lot to do with the 'base' mentality.

Hey!! I have no problem with Mexicans living anywhere, so long as they do
it the legal way, get papers/green card, and then accept US citizenship(or
whatever country they go to).

I had to do it when I married a US citizen.... I also had to enter the
country *legally* to do it.

California is 3/4 Mexican now, and English is the second language there,
just imagine what it would be like if *every* illegal was sent back home.

As for "mistreating Mexicans" by asking for their proof of citizenship....
I've had to show proof of citizenship in just about every country I have
ever visited...... I don't have a problem with it, and would never say I
was being "mistreated" because of it. I'll leave those sort of sentiments
to the bleeding heart tree huggers.

I was having dinner with my boss and his wife and she said to me, "How

many potatoes would you like Peter?". I said "Ooh, I'll just have one

please". She said "It's OK, you don't have to be polite" "Alright" I

said "I'll just have one then, you stupid cow".
