He is our President, and we should support Him!

Well, it is another day, another dullard, as we say down here at the diner

And today what we are talking about today is, Why are there Hispanic people in El Paso anyway?

If Hispanic people actually want to be somewhere, shouldn't they start a town and move there, instead of coming to one of our towns like Los Angeles or Santa Fe or Amarillo?

But all this thinking is making my head ache

I can hear them. But, I swear, if they started a town, the white wingers would gripe about that. Hoyt Aug 2019 #2

And 50%, maybe a little less if we're lucky, of Americans are fine with being like that.

back in 2008 or 2009...

all of these white Tea Party assholes showed up with their guns and "don't tread on me" flags and shit (somebody paid for a large bus for them to ride to the event)...

They shouted at the Hispanics in line waiting to talk the the Congresswoman "Go back to Mexico" blah blah blah... all the usual racist shit.

I was in line next to an elderly Hispanic gentleman and I said something like "don't pay attention to these idiots"...

He simply said... "My family has lived here for 6 generations...farming the same land, raising cattle... we didn't start out as Americans... we lived in Mexico... they moved the border on us and we became
Americans... it was either that or lose the land that we owned"
