Speaking Spanish While Shopping

#1 Post by silverscreenselect » Mon May 21, 2018 12:03 pm

... is yet another thing that can get people in trouble, at least in that hotbed of illegal immigration, Montana. While one might think that the biggest threat of illegal immigration there might be Canadians who have perhaps tired of hockey, this border patrol agent detained two U.S. citizens for a half hour because he heard them speaking Spanish to each other while standing in the checkout line at a convenience store. The official explanation:
"Ma'am, the reason I asked you for your ID is because I came in here and saw that you guys are speaking Spanish, which is very unheard of up here."
The officer said his action wasn't racially motivated, although the video from the TV station shows one of the women who was questioned.

It's good to know our northern borders are secure from illegal Hispanic immigrants doing a 2,000 mile end run around the Rio Grande in an effort to sneak in through Canada, at least as long as this particular Border Patrol officer is on the job.

Assuming no facts otherwise come to light could we all agree this was stupid? Okay?
Well, then

At least they weren't stopped for

driving while black.

Of course this NAACP "leader" wasn't either.

Thank you for this. --Bob

Timmonsville SC is the Flint Michigan of South Carolina, and run (into bankruptcy) by racists. Also the public schools were taken over by the State Department of Education.

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
