27. It won't happen and Gohmert's days will be cut short as Latinos react. They're not uninformed.

These last few years with the BS in AZ and those trying to force English-only in Texas towns is backfiring. They are refusing to be labeled and be used as targets - and those with good sense won't even try it.

The majority of Latinos in Texas have been there far longer than the tea(carpet)baggers, inserting themselves into every issue that is none of their business. Those friends I have there of Mexican origin were not fooled by Cruz or won't be fooled by Jorge.

They keep informed and are not at all impoverished or easy to push around. For years they were apolitical, but now see hope with the Castro brothers and the Dream Act.

Although those I know don't support illegal immigration, they support families and being humane and just, and believe in equality. That is something the teabaggers, some of which aren't native Texans, have yet to grasp about them.

And the myth of fake Mexicans has been around for years, and is heavily promoted by AJ and his type. He has claimed that the creation of the entire nation of Mexico was a NWO plot to subvert the USA. Because they're Catholics...

Anyone who buys into any of his stuff, needs to know that he and they are Ron Paul racists. Gohmert is playing to that racist teabagger base of his.
