The other day, I saw a scrawny illegal from a neighboring construction site get very hostile and threatening with one of our security guards, a man who could easily have mopped the pavement with him.
I was called on to translate.
The illegal said he thought the guard was trying to harrass his friends. I informed him that in Texas, private security officers have the same protection as policemen, that is, assaulting one is a first-degree felony and 10+ years in prison. The illegal laughed and said that no "huero" had the guts to fight back. I invited him to back it up and he slunk away.
In my considerable experience, this kind of racism and arrogance is more typical than not for illegals and their citizen-apologists, with the facts of Hispanic bigotry and arrogance laughingly concealed behind the targets' supposed ignorance of the Spanish language, with the liberal double standard helping quite a bit.
This is not to fault the illegals themselves, since racism and bigotry are the default position for ignorant and uneducated people all over the world. Add in a hierachical culture that mistakes kindness for submission and you have a formula for racially motivated hatred and contempt of the rawest kind.
The real fault lies with the educated activists and politicians who allow this to happen. Hispanic political activists are acutely aware of Mexican racism, and will even admit it if you know the language and hold their feet to the fire, but it is part of their racist creed that they are entitled to the benefits of this kind of hypocrisy.
Bush and the Democrats have joined forces to sell this country and degrade its people for cheap labor and cheaper votes respectively.
My advice: learn Spanish (it isn't hard), monitor and report the racism and bigotry of the Spanish language media, and let the invaders from "la raza superior" know that they are being watched by people who know what is really happening.
They're importing poverty, disease, ignorance and dependence into America. They've sold their souls and turned their backs on their own country. Dare we call this treason?
I am fluent in Spanish, since both Spanish and English are my "first" languages. Since my English is accent-free, and I prefer not to divulge my knowledge of Spanish except on occasions of my choosing, what you say is dead-on. Specially in Mexico, I have had occasions when the hair on my arms stood on end, from the hostility and hatred displayed both in body language and verbally when they are unaware that one understands Spanish. Literally, I have felt that many of these people people would just as soon cut you up and dump you as talk to you if you are American.
