#1 So we have an estimated 12 million illegal aliens now living in the United States. I give you this number but I don't believe anybody knows how many there really are. Anyway, they came here illegally. They broke our nation's laws the minute they stepped across the border. Then they proceeded to take advantage of all the resources and benefits available in our nation regardless of the cost to the tax paying citizens. They take jobs and housing that would normally be available for citizens. They wave their Mexican flags and walk around like they own the place. They threaten our political system by creating a vast new voting block that votes consistently for the Democrats. Most of them are basically good people but there are those among them who are criminals and others who have dubious, foreign political agendas. They have no legal or logical argument to justify what they have done but they have something that seems to work even better whenever anybody calls for them to be deported and for the border to be secured: They call us racists. It is a base and dishonest appeal to emotions that has no place in our political discourse.

There are a great many Hispanics who are citizens, whose families have been in this country for generations. If you have friends who are among these Hispanics, if you value those relationships, it really hurts to be called a racist. That's what political correctness will do for you.

#2 EU, in New Mexico, the 'Hispanics' in the southern tier identify themselves of Mexican decent. The middle and northern tier identity themselves as Spanish decent. I live not far from a village that was founded 60 years after Jamestown. They are not amused about the 'illegals' anymore than you or I. Governor Martinez comes from the southern portion, thus the friction with the Trump.
