Bunch of bologna! If Mike Hernandez, wanted to help, he would have helped already. It doesn't matter who is in office. If you want to help, you'll help. He's just trying to control the political scene so he can pull strings to his benefit. A lot of talk and no help yet. Go back to Dallas Mike!
WASHINGTON (AP) – A Hispanic congressman from Texas, angered by Donald Trump's attacks on an American-born judge of Mexican descent, penned an open letter to the presumptive GOP presidential nominee telling him to "take your border wall and shove it up your ass."
The three-page letter, sent by U.S. Rep. Filemon Vela, a Democrat from the border city of Brownsville, follows days of controversy over Trump's assertion that U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, a California judge presiding over fraud lawsuits against Trump University, should recuse himself because of his "Mexican heritage."
Vela, the son of one of the first federal judges of Mexican descent, wrote that while he might agree with Trump on some points about the border and U.S. relations with Mexico, "your ignorant anti-immigration opinions, your border wall rhetoric, and your recent bigoted attack on an American jurist are just plain despicable."
The letter, written in both English and Spanish, ended on an undiplomatic note that Vela suggested could not be helped. Though saying he does not speak for all Americans of Mexican descent, Vela concluded: "I am sure that many of these individuals would agree with me when I say: 'Mr. Trump, you're a racist and you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass.'"
A spokeswoman for Trump did not immediately respond to a request or comment.
Sobres Sobres 20 minutes ago Wow, who knew there were still Democrats in Texas?

so far south in Texas that they're actually in Mexico
@Brined1 @Sobres so you're saying we should cede the southern counties along the border and build the wall a few hundred miles north of the current border?

They never give us credit, Jim. They all think we're in Mexico. We are the lowest of the low to the rest of Texas and America.
