| Texas Dem Representative to Trump: 'Take Your Border Wall and shove it' |
| 2016-06-07 |
| [Breitbart] A Democrat Texas congressman told Donald Trump to take the border wall and "shove it up your ass." "Mr. Trump, you’re a racist and you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass," Congressman Filemon Vela (D-TX) wrote in an open letter to Mr. Trump Monday morning. The comment comes at the end of a lengthy litany of complaints against the presumptive GOP nominee written from his campaign office obtained by Breitbart Texas and attached below. Filemon represents the southeastern most district of Texas that includes the border community of Brownsville, just across the river from Matamoros, Mexico, the scene of a violent civil war between members of the Gulf Cartel fighting for control of the region. Breitbart Texas has reported extensively about the violence in this area. A spokesman for the Vela campaign told Breitbart Texas, "We are getting a lot of interest about ’The Letter.'" He begins the letter with areas where he agrees with Trump ‐ Veterans issues, cartel violence and corruption in the Mexican government, and criminal illegal alien felons who "should be immediately deported." He says there are even other areas upon which he would agree. However, your ignorant anti-immigrant opinions, your border wall rhetoric, and your recent bigoted attack on an American jurist are just plain despicable. The letter, written in English and Spanish, delves into the history of Americans of Mexican descent and says Trump mistakenly refers to them as "Mexicans." He says many of them have valiantly served the United States in every conflict since the Civil War. He then goes on to list some Hispanic Medal of Honor recipients. |

| #14 This has to do with Texas politics as well. The Dems want Austin. |

| #13 I wonder if this Representative locks their door at night. Or if they live in a gated community. |

| #12 The only way a Border wall gets built is if Trump pays for it himself. So the whole conversation seems silly. |

| #10 Ebbang Uluque6305 says, "They think they should be able to smuggle drugs and people with impunity and anyone who objects is a racist." Actually I think the politicians know they can spin Trump's comments anyway they want and be believed by Dem voters. They are amping up the rhetoric hoping for turnout so they don't lose their jobs (or at least the cushy assignments on various panels controlled by the majority party). Decades of not countering the bull has led to this. |

| #9 And the more Trump calls them on it the nastier they get. No matter what else happens, he has forced them to reveal themselves for what they are. |

| #7 I used to regard it as a running joke when one of the regulars here (I forget who) commented that the Democrats are trying to replace the voters with others. it took a bit of time, but this---inDUHvidual's--- open letter helped me see how literally true it is. Essentially, the demoncrat argues that since Mexican American CITIZENS have helped and contributed to the US in the past positively, that Mexican MEXICAN people (non American Citizens) are deserving of equal, if not more, regard than American CITIZENS. If the border wall was being built on the Mason-Dixon line to isolate some American citizens from the rest of the United States, then I would rightly be upset, but its being built to keep out Mexican Citizens (who are not American Citizens), who are clearly depriving American Citizens of benefits. This Demoncrat is part of a rebellious government that seeks to disenfranchise the citizens it is supposed to serve. Take what happened at the trump rally in California: American citizens beaten and intimidated by non-American citizens, and representatives of the local AMERICAN government refuse to protect American citizens. Recall that the Nazis, when they began their persecutions of the German Jews, were doing it against THEIR OWN CITIZENS first. That's the tripwire, and governments run by democrats have repeatedly tripped that wire in our country for a long time. My apologies for not catching on earlier. |

| #6 Decades of pandering by irresponsible politicians like the Bushes and the Clintons have given these people the notion they have a right to break our laws. They think they should be able to smuggle drugs and people with impunity and anyone who objects is a racist. They need to be disabused of that notion. |

| #5 Vela was born in Harlingen, Texas and raised in Brownsville, Texas. His father, Filemon Bartolome Vela, Sr., was a long-serving United States federal judge. The Reynaldo G. Garza-Filemon B. Vela United States Courthouse in Brownsville is named in Judge Vela's honor. His mother, Blanca Sanchez Vela, served as Brownsville’s first female mayor from 1999 to 2003. El Patron |
