His first name is Joseph. I'd bet he was born here.
Are you aware that people with Latino surnames have lived in the American southwest for more than 400 years?
Yeah. Like Sheriff Arpaio.
It’s the cold blooded, senseless nature of the crime that inclines me to that assumption.
“...His first name is Joseph...”
Two bits says his name is actually “Jose.”
Are you aware, Drew, that Joe Biden is allowing hundreds of thousands of illegals cross into Texas, California, Arizona......and are then bussed or flown to any city or state of their choosing, regardless IF their first name is Joe!
Are you aware that gang initiation involves shooting/ killing someone?
“Are you aware that people with Latino surnames have lived in the American southwest for more than 400 years?”
Yeah. Tiny groups of people that were so small, they were outnumbered 50:1 by the Injuns. They were there to do one thing: baptize the Injuns into the Catholic Church which would make them subjects of the King of Spain. Colonization was not the original intent: they just wanted to stake a claim so the British or the French or the Russians could not.
And after 1846, and up to 1970, they were a quaint artifact in the American West. People from “the Spanish Period”.
The OVERWHELMING number of Mexicans have come into the US in the last 45 years. In 1970, California was ~ 5% Mexican (it was not called “hispanic”, that’s a made up word); it is now about 48% hispanic, with 15 MILLION having come into the state since about 1985.
Was California “unsettled land” in 1980? Was it just a long, lost Spanish colony waiting to be colonized by God’s Chosen Ones from Oaxaca?
Oddly I remember rather large US naval bases, massive US Air Force Bases, and a gigantic city called LA where all my Anglo-Saxon grandparents lived for decades. And you had to go to a few isolated neighborhoods - Olvera Street and Barrio Logan to find the rather minor Mexican population just a few decades ago.
And as for Corona, California, it was a place where the high school in 1970 probably had the highest concentration of blonde females you would ever see. Girl down the street from me was one of them. Even looked a bit like Rylee, maybe that’s her grandmother. It was white bread suburban LA. Same for Orange County, once the stronghold for Nixon/Reagan Republicans.
And the name “Jose” (they don’t call this little POS Joe, you can be assured of that) was hardly heard back then. Now they are the Ma-Yority as they say. But that’s a takeover pushed by people who were taught BS like “dees ees Mehico” in the idiot Leftist California school system, when it was really just a foot note in history.
The little punk SOB shot a white blonde because of Mexican hatred for whites. Her date got it too because he was dating outside the gang....what’s he doing with the guera acting white, you know, ese?
The meme you’re pushing - “they have always been here” was a gig started by La Raza Unida back in the late ‘60s, when we all thought it was ridiculous. But that was when Mexico only had about 40 million people, and now they have like 130 million, probably more, and they used that excess to push North and take what was NEVER theirs: the American Southwest.
I interviewed a candidate for a job who went by Joe. After he was hired, it was "call me Jose".
Besides, even younger people might want to avoid calling themselves Jose Jimenez. Maybe his parents never heard of the original.
