Texas Tribune ^ | 6/6/2016 | Abby Livinston

WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. Filemon Vela took a poison pen to the Republican presumptive presidential nominee, Donald Trump, in an open letter Monday morning.

"Mr. Trump, you’re a racist and you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass," the Brownsville Democrat wrote in a lengthy missive to the real estate magnate.

The Brownsville Democrat probably has a side business of illegal smuggling

No question about it and I would suspect his clientele are predominately Cubans........

My fellow Texans … this idiot better not get re-elected. Surely there are enough conservatives left in the southern portion of the state to vote him out.

Guys like this need to change their names to something American. He could be Phil Vale.

Screw Texas and their dumbass politicians.

FYI, Brownsville is in the southern most part of this big state. Just as Tuscon doesn’t represent all of Arizona and Santa Fe doesn’t represent all of NM, neither does this cesspool represent all of Texas. In fact, when the wall is built, they may as well put Brownsville on the south side of it.

I think it’s simpler than all that - I think GW’s “first time” was with a Mexican.

These are the kinds of people being elected to office by Texans.

No, these are the kinds of people being elected to office by Mexicans living in Texas.

Sounds like this dolt approves of those standing waving Mexican flags on US soil and pelting Trump fans with garbage - all the while shrieking obscenities. They’re really classy folks, wouldn’t you say?

Nice people, you elect, Texas!!

A small portion of Texas. These people, to be exact. I’ll give you 3 guesses as to the heritage of most of the population down there.

Filemon Vela does not know the difference between race and a national. Since the Mexican government should be working with the United States to control the border, they as enablers, are accessories to the crime of illegal border crossings. Trump is against Mexico for their do-nothing border control. That is not a racist desire. It is a pragmatic responsibility given by our Constitution:

Section 4, Article 4 of the U.S. Constitution, which states:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Whether as Filemon Vela or Phil Vale, the guy is still a liberal lunatic with Charles Manson eyes...

TRUMP destroying the economy in Texas!

Illegal immigrants are boycotting Texas by the thousands and moving elsewhere - showing their outrage with Donald Trump’s proposed law of sending illegal immigrants back to Mexico.

In the small border town of Guadalupe, Tx, north of the border, Manuel Reynaldo La Raza, is one of those who is punishing Texas by leaving.

As he loaded his stolen Tundra Truck, with his stolen belongings and family of ten, Reynaldo told this reporter through an interpreter. “It’s a matter of principle; I refuse to be supported by a state that treats me like a criminal!”

The effects of the exodus are being felt by Texas retailers, who are reporting dwindling sales of Mexican refried beans, Corona, tequila, tacos, spray paint, and ammunition.

Also hit hard are the city/county hospitals, which have reported a dramatic decline in births and emergency room visits.

State welfare agencies are preparing to lay off staffs that distribute food stamps and unemployment benefits.

Tattoo parlors are in an absolute state of panic!

Texas Congress Critters are panicking as their districts will disappear with the exodus

Renaldo told a reporter, through an interpreter, that he and his family are moving to Canada, with a new Liberal government under Justin Trudeau, and new higher taxes. The hardworking/tax paying Canutes will better support him and his family with dignity!

Kind of brings a tear to your eye, doesn’t it?

I would hope that when the wall goes up, “Representative” Vela is placed firmly on the other side.

None of the above.
The correct answer is, MUTTOID.
Because the Spaniards RAPED, murdered, and pillaged their way throughout all of Mexico, Central America, and South America.
Throw in the African Slaves they brought with them and you have a new classification of (almost) homo sapiens.
