When I explain to my Argentinian friends that there are many 'Mericuhns, even some of them with Mexican heritage, who are intent upon building a wall between the United States and México they don't believe me -- at first. After all Argentina has illegal alien problems too, mostly indigenous Bolivians and Paraguayans come into this country and take the jobs that no one else is willing to do. And in these economic times there are few jobs an Argentinian will not do.
So, once again I'm sipping coffee and enjoying the general good will and ambiance that is characteristic of Argentina as I read Clarín and discover some yahoo racist has shot five Chilean students, killing two and injuring three others out of a group of 14 Chileans all of whom have legal US visas to travel and work during their summer school vacations? (It's still summer down here south of the Equator for those of you slogging about in the snow up in Buffalo).
There's no doubt that the murderer, Dannie Baker (60 years-old), appears a taco short of a full Méxican combo plate, but the photos of all the other 14 students in today's paper could just as well be white kids from Helena, Montana!
Trust me folks, this is MAJOR BIG NEWS THROUGHOUT ALL OF SOUTH AMERICA, not just Chile and Argentina (two countries, by the way, that rarely have nice things to say about one another).
So, what's the general consensus from FOX News and it's Fair and Balanced Act? Are they now espousing that all of South America is threatening to overflow the borders of the USA and take what jobs that no longer exist from true, red-blooded 'Mericuhns!
It never fails to amaze me the rise in senseless, ignorant racism that's happening in the USA.
