U.S. citizen told "you have no rights" during immigration arrest speaks out

Video of an 18-year-old U.S. citizen being violently arrested in Florida by immigration agents back in May has drawn heavy scrutiny, with advocates saying the expansion of state and local law enforcement's role in illegal immigrant crackdowns contributed to the incident.

Border Patrol and the Florida Highway Patrol were conducting immigration enforcement on May 2 when they detained Kenny Laynez, a high school senior who was on his way to work as a landscaper with two other co-workers and his mother, who was driving.

Video Laynez recorded of the arrest shows an officer telling him, a U.S. citizen who was born and raised in the country, "You got no rights here. You're an amigo, brother."

"It hurts me, hearing them saying that I have no rights here because I look like, um, you know, Hispanic, I'm Hispanic," Laynez told CBS News.

2. This is JD Vance's definition of an American - in action

Vance advocates a "blood and soil" definition of who is really an American. To him, it is not a matter of legal citizenship or even of being a productive engaged citizen. To Vance, you need generations of ancestors who lived in the US and originally came from "the right places" (Britain and other northern European countries)

As they said about Spiro Agnew, Vance is just a heartbeat away.

3. He is one fucked up dude

His wife is pathetic. She has no self respect.

He is basically saying his wife, her family, and his own kids are lesser citizens because they haven’t been in the country for several generations.

4. I've noted that he usually calls them

"her kids", not "my kids" our "our kids".
