Alaska Congressman Don Young, went on the electric radio and called migrant workers a demeaning term – wetbacks.

Don Young

I specifically recall when I first heard that term and asked Momma what it meant.  I was probably in first or second grade.  Momma explained what it meant and then said, “Don’t say that.  It makes little baby Jesus cry.”  Obviously, Don Young did not have a momma.  He probably chewed with his mouth open, farted in church, never bathed, and was, indeed, raised in a pig sty.

After he got caught making little baby Jesus cry, Young tried to explain, “I know that this term is not used in the same way nowadays, and I meant no disrespect.”

No, Don Young, it has always been a term of disrespect.  Nothing at all has changed about that.

So now all a’sudden, Don Young is the leader of the immigration reform parade.

Young went on to praise the role migrant workers play in society and called for the country to address immigration reform.

That’s okay Don, because migrant workers have a word for you, too.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
