Texas Valedictorian, Scholarship Recipient Under Fire for Tweeting She's Undocumented

Well Im a big American white guy, and this is not what she is saying at all. This girl has almost completely integrated and become about as American as a first generation can become.

How much more American is she supposed to get? Is she supposed to get a Confederate flag tattoo and drive an F-350 to school while rolling coal? Is that the kind of American they are demanding she become? Because she looks pretty damn integrated to me.

She is not trying to shit on Americans, she is trying to point out that Mexicans arent all rapists and criminals like a certain politician claimed.

In fact, 2 out of 3 "Mexicans" were born here and are citizens.

Ive actually spent months near the border and nearly every single story you hear on TV is absolutely BS, and the people making the claims dont even live anywhere near it. Texas is huge, somebody in Dallas or Houston has no idea what is going on in Laredo. Its like someone in Maine or Boston trying to describe South Carolina. Thats how far away they are from the border. Texas is HUGE.

There is literally an army of Border patrol agents, like with huge military type bases with rows and rows of SUVs, a huge fence, and a massive patrol zone for something like 20 miles from the border.

The illegals people are complaining about dont cross the border by jumping the wall, they come to work on green cards and they overstay their visit, mainly because their own employers want them to.

The percent of Hispanics who are illegal is a very small fraction of the total hispanic population, and most stay here past their green cards because their employers simply cannot find people to do the work.

And the idea that Mexicans are ungrateful or only love Mexico is ridiculous. Ive never once seen one of these people waving flags like that, and a few dozen people doing it at some Trump rally dont speak for the whole Hispanic population.
