Thread: Nobody 'hates' the mexicans that are IN MEXICO!!!.........

If you really want to see offensive you should see the Mexican comic book character Mimim Pinguin. It's about a little black boy that is drawn in a manner that would make Amos and Andy blush( that may not be possible but excuse my liscense). The Mexican government had a commemorative stamp for this cartoon character about a year ago. The characterization was so egregiously insulting that the stamps sold out immediately and were getting high bids on e-bay.
Viva the Frito Bandido.

I "Googled" the quote you posted and it led to many interesting links to like-minded Americans who are fed up with the Feds' poor job performance of enforcing U.S. immigration laws.

Out west, there is a place called Taco Cabana. They had a chili pepper who was "kicking it back on the patio" or something. He, too, was deemed insulting.

When I was a teenager, back in 1965, I worked for El Taco Mexican Restaurants, Inc. in Los Angeles, California. El Taco's logo was a little, Mexican man wearing a sombrero that almost hid him as he slept against a cactus. The humor of the image is most persons can't stand to even touch a cactus plant.

[snip] Driving the streets of my once American hometown and seeing bus ads, billboards and store signage in Spanish ofends me. [snip] Seeing on every corner a check cashing/money transfer store or WIC/AFDC welfare voucher store, packed with cars with Mexico license plates offends me. [snip] Driving down the road and seeing more cars with Mexico license plates than all other out of state cars combined,... [snip] offends me.

[snip] Going to any hospital emergency room or doctor's office and knowing my tax dollars are going to pay for the [snip] deliveries of thousands of illegal's anchor babies a month offends me.

Living in fear of gang violence, drive-by shootings, drug dealer's turf wars and illegal aliens' teenage kids stealing, smashing, burning and vandalizing everything in sight offends me. [snip] millions more come here every year to steal our jobs, drive down our wages, destroy our communites, overcrowd our schools, jails and hospitals offends me.

In 1982, I was befriended by an illegal Mexican immigrant after my car had been burned because I helped a homeless Black mother and her twin children. I took them to a nearby fast-food restaurant and bought them a meal. I was told by this friendly Mexican that the others thought I was dating the young Black woman and they burned my car in retaliation. I was homeless and lived in my car. I worked every day at a temporary job agency but I couldn't afford a place to live. I also went to college part-time where I was able to take a shower. Before the young mother found me, I had been counting my week's pay and figuring if I could afford a new battery so I could drive my car again.

I gained a lot of insights from living among these illegal immigrants. I know their plight but I also know the hardships that face working-class Americans. The problems we all suffer are caused by uncaring politicians who don't have a clue about what is happening in our lives.

I watched a young mother from El Salvador come in after working hard all day long, open a closet door in someone else's apartment, then climb into bed alongside her toddler who had spent the entire day in a closet crammed with just a roll-away bed and lit by a bare light bulb.

I know the sting of being compared to illegal immigrants while working. I was informed by a Kentucky tobacco farmer that he could get TWO illegals for what he was paying me. I was working for minimum wages in a cold barn, my numb fingers going as fast as I could push them. (Who did the work before employers starting hiring illegal immigrants?)
