Guess It’s “Back to Meh-Hee-Co” for Me

November 7th, 2003 · No Comments

I received the following charming letter in response to my recent piece on Lou Dobbs, trade, and immigration:

Leave it to a Latino to welcome more illegal Latinos and excuse their crimes. Gee, could it be coincidence?
The “National Question” is arriving soon and it will be a wake-up call for illegal Latinos – back to Meh-hee-co they go!
RS Golich
(An American; not an illegal, not a ‘globalist’, not an economic gypsy chasing jobs around the world.)

Not that this racist tripe deserves a response, but reality check: I was born in New York City, my father is a doctor from Spain, and my mother (bless her soul) is about as WASPy as they come. And I can pretty much guarantee that I speak better English than this halfwit. So the arguments I made there aren’t an ingenious cover for my plan to help my fellow countrymen invade the U.S.
