Love it! They want the President to respond and help them in their time of need. But God forbid he try to help anyone else when they need it.

In the end, this has just put many of our reservoirs back to normal level. I'm not calling on any help from the feds. But if some are, then they can go for it. As long as we're in the ^*$% union, we can grab like we can be grabbed from.

I thought it was a clever op-cartoon. Upon further review, if Texas did secede, the federal government would still be ready to give aid.

You know, most of the other wetbacks don't look like that guy in the picture.

Attempt at humorous comment failed, though you nailed racist comment perfectly.

Nice work removing all doubt that you are a racist.

Are Mexicans a "race" now?

Probably even more so.

They race across the border as fast as they can! :laugh:

While the descriptive term "wetback" may be politically incorrect and used as a prejorative at times, it is not racist any more than illegal alien is.

Some people are dramatically over-reacting.

"Wetback is a derogatory term used to describe Mexicans who have immigrated illegally to the United States by swimming or wading across the Rio Grande--the river that separates the U.S. from Mexico. U.S. Border Patrol began using the word in 1944 to refer to illegal Mexican immigrants who were easily identifiable by their wet clothing.

In 1954, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service made the word "wetback" official by naming the mission to remove illegal immigrants from the United States, Operation Wetback .

It is an ethnic slur. Period.

It is an ethnic slur. Period.

Using it doesn't brand anyone a racist. Mexican is not a race. Period.

So the proper slur for you to use would be ethnicist. Right?

One good slur deserves another. Right?
