Who had women lining up even in his old age, would get very dark in the summer. When we were in Puerto Rico, the Puerto Ricans would come up to him and speak in Spanish. He knows very little Spanish. When he would tell them that, they would not believe him. They swore he was Puerto Rican.

He's got a a very British last name and there are even mountains in Kentucky with his last name. His family has a long history in Kentucky. But no Hispanic blood.

He passed away 6 years ago. He would have punched out any ICE agent who would lay hands on him. He was a very nice guy but if you wanted a fight with him or lay hands on him, you would not do well.

Sooo, do you think every Puerto Rican in the States is being snatched up? I suspect they are victims of this crap too.
