will be the worst on migrant latino workers, the people that make this country run on a day to day basis, the most trod-upon class of Americans.
I used to live in LA. All over LA, you see people with Mexican flags on their cars, and those stupid window stickers showing Calvin peeing on something. In Los Angeles, Calvin is usually peeing on one of 3 things.
1. A Ford emblem
2. the word "America"
3. The phrase "La Migra"
Once you have seen enough "I hate your country" stickers, you start to care a little less about the "delicate sensibilities" of the illegal alien. If the Feds want to take a non-citizen out of his I-hate-America-stickered car and sweat him for 7 days, more power to them.
Maybe that makes me a white racist nationalistic baby-killing seal-clubbing monster. I don't care anymore.
Why can't I ever see someone with a Mexican AND American flag on their car? That would be great. It's OK to be into your roots and all that. It's even OK to advertise your hate for the country. But if you ain't a citizen, I don't have a problem with curtailing your rights.
I'm one of those gun nuts, I know all about the slippery slope, but I am still fed up, and I am willing to throw the aliens to the government dogs. Hopefully that will keep them busy for a while. Maybe they'll even catch some bad guys.
