Uh-Oh! Rodrigo’s Warning Us!

Posted by MaxRedline @ 4:50 pm

Vermont's generally conceded to be a "Blue" state, though in general, folks seem pretty happy there.  However, if you bothered to listen to the rantings of Rodrigo Marquez, deputy counsel for the Mexican consulate in Boston, you'd swear the state was full of Republicans.  Roddy ominously warns that if the folks in Vermont don't get a little more welcoming of Mexican workers employed at dairy farms there, why those workers just might start looking for jobs elsewhere.  This sounds like a win-win situation!  They can start by looking for jobs back in Mexico, where they belong.  According to Roddy, Mexican workers in Vermont have to live in isolation; suffering a constant fear of being deported.  He even claims that "law-abiding Mexican workers are occasionally taken into custody" in Vermont - simply because they appear to be here illegally.

Let's see:  "law-abiding" "illegals".  Roddy seems to have a logic issue.
