SocraticGadfly: Some Brownsville folks are not real Americans

Some Brownsville folks are not real Americans

At least according to Tom Tancredo, they’re not.

Tancredo, Colorado’s virulently anti-immigrant Congressman, not only supports a border wall or fence to try to stop illegal immigration from Mexico, he thinks it should divide Brownsville in two.

Yes, not all Brownsville residents are actually real U.S. citizens or Texas residents, in Tancredo’s eyes.

It’s bad enough with current fence plans, which would put part of the University of Texas—Brownsville, another college and a golf course south of the fence.

Why build the fence there, though?

With the logic of Tancredo and Hunter, we should build the fence north of Hunter’s Southern California and Tancredo’s area of Colorado. After all, both areas have plenty of United States citizens and legal immigrants of Hispanic background, as well as their own fair share of illegal immigrants.

Hell, Hunter’s probably got illegals mowing his lawn, or cleaning his pool, if he has one.

Tancredo and Duncan Hunter also poo-poohed environmental costs of the fence.
