The jokes and premises lean towards stereotypes, but the message is clear. These folks are part of our big American family, and we are more dependent on them than most realize.

local TV in San Diego. I think it touched a nerve due to the large number of residents who live here and work here on the Mexico border.

It was not funny or entertaining. It is sobering.

Is Mexican owned and operated. They have the best food in the area. Decent prices. I hope they don’t close. We won’t have anything here then but fast food and grease buckets.

in this case, just for Mexicans and slightly incremental but many of the same consequences

Ain't "God's Plan" great?

This country has replaced one slave culture after another. The Mexicans are Indigenous they lived here until they were given the name Mexican. Before they build the fence, they will leave and we will miss all they have given to this country their country before they were sliced off
