I agree that he is an idiot but you have to realize that a LOT of people feel this way.

You can pretend that he is just a jerk and not speaking for anyone else but that just isn't true.

People are angry. Most of the time they are misinformed (thanks to "news" like this)but they are angry all the same.

Racism is alive and well in America.

People see Spanish on everything and in some cases larger than English and it makes them angry.
They see people who can't even speak English carrying Medicaid cards while they have to pay for their medical care, it makes them angry.
They hear a Spanish version of the American National Anthem and it REALLY makes them angry. There was an outdoor concert the other night here and they made some pointed references to the REAL National Anthem and there were cheers before it was sung.

There are a lot of people who feel very very threatened by immigrants and the news stories are adding fuel to the fire.

It is like an "accepted" form of racism these days.

There is a lot of work to be done to make things right but I don't see anyone in power who has the balls to step up to the plate.
The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. The line between the two is growing larger every day.
