A pro-Mexican Republican!
Via Mi Blog es tu blog:
If you thought you had seen (and heard) it all about politics and immigration, consider Rod Jetton, a Missouri politician who is offering to trade lazy locals for hardworking Mexican immigrants.
“I think there are some lazy Missourians in this state who really don’t want to work, and I think there’s a lot of hardworking Mexicans who would love to come up here and make a little money to support their families,” he told the Associated Press. “And by golly, if we could find a way to trade them, I would trade them in a heartbeat.”
Mi Blog missed one interesting fact. Rod isn’t just any politio, he’s the Speaker of the Missouri House of Representatives. Rod is from the bootheel, which is more Arkansas than Missouri, so he may have a point… though I don’t think this will go over well with his constituents.
