In reply to the discussion: My Encounter With A Trumphole Last Night [View all]Texin
(2,851 posts)41. I live in Dallas. We've got our fair share (and then some) of these deplorables.

But it's mystifying to me that folks from a state that started as part of Mexico would have such a rabid hatred for a population of people that literally keep the state running with their labor force, pay taxes if they are being paid as they should be by employers that do things by the book, and will never be able to collect social security benefits or medicare for a life's worth of work and effort because they can't get citizenship status.
