Precisely.
The term "wetback" is not racist but somehow many have become confused that it is.
The same political correctness that has convinced so many that the term is somehow "racially offensive" permeates our Federal Government, Law Enforcement Agencies, and even the Republican Party. We're so scared of offending anyone that we're allowing an outright invasion to destroy our country. "Wetbacks", that is people of any race or nationality, who have crossed the border illegally (the term originates from those who crossed the Rio Grande and were "wet" from that crossing), are responsible for the deaths of over 9,000 Americans per year and the sexual abuse of almost 3,000 American children. But our government is paralyzed with fear that it may be "insensitive" to someone or some group so much that they are not enforcing our laws, securing our borders, and protecting Americans from this invasion.
Eisenhower was right with "Operation Wetback". We need a President and a Congress willing to launch "Operation Wetback II" not the cowards that we have today who refuse to fulfill their Consitutional duty (see Article IV Section 4) are unwilling to repel this invasion.
Yeah, it didnt start out as racist, but over time it became so.
While someone is cooking up a dose of vociferous OBL invective for me I wanted to thank you for quoting dear departed Travis'most important message: Article IV Section 4 is their duty, not an option.
