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.

Brownsville. Local citizens would get construction jobs in wall building. Less dependent on the government. This Atzlani Congresscritter can’t stand the idea.

My point is that it is just an ethnic group-like Italian, German, Scottish, etc-the “race” crap makes me want to smack people like Vila and tell him to look in an f***ing mirror-he is mostly Caucasian, like most of us are-and he’s a bigot, too...

It just so pains these a-holes that they can’t have wide open borders.

And you wonder why Americans don’t want that trash coming across the border?

Ummmm.....I believe the wall is not race oriented. It’s based on geography, not race.

Wall building, often with bricks. Rectangular and square. But you can’t shove a square brick up a round a**hole

Trump’s border wall is actually going to protect the USA from two things. It’s going to protect the USA from undocumented, possibly disease-carrying immigrants.

But sadly, it’s also going to protect the USA from misguided, low-information US lawmakers who don’t do their job to protect citizens and the economy from problems with undocumented immigrants.

Remember in November !

When patriots elect Trump, they will also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again.

Note that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

Prediction:

Less than a year from now Congressman Veia will be on his hands and knees helping build the Trump fence.

If he behaves himself and works hard maybe he can have a lemonade break.

A typical Henry B. Gonzales Democrat. They are the most despicable brand of Texas politician. They make Billie Sol Estes look like an angel.

“funny how the story leaves out the party affiliation.”

They did put the time-honored “Rep.” in front of his name to give ADHD readers the impression he’s a Republican.

Maybe they’re just calling that his “mug” - I may have my other post removed.
