Actually, that's pretty much what Cubans (and Haitians) have already done to S. Florida. But the "anti-illegals" crowd have been so obsessed with Mexican illegals, they've never even noticed the others.

They blend in because they are the same race as the majority of Americans. Whatever rivalries there exist between different European ethnic groups here, is not superseded by the fact that they are in the end all Europeans.

The reason Mexicans create soo much xenophobia and hate is because they either look very Indigenous or are mixed with clearly visible Indigenous features. There would still be some resentment and anger if White South Americans like Argentines emigrate here in large numbers but it would not be anywhere remotely as the anger directed at Mexicans.

It sure is nice to see these wonderful "people" turn first amendment rights into their grandstanding pro-illegal rant cesspool. This "professor" should be dismissed from the service of the university system for instigating dissention, in regards to the freedoms of our great nation. If he hates capitalism so much, he does not have to stay.

The fact that a university system allows this to happen on it's property needs to be investigated. This is no longer about education, but revolution against the very nation that allows them to thrive in a better life. Go the **** home if you don't value your existence in this great country that allows you to be here.

If you agree with this, good for you. If you think I am a racist white man for saying this, enjoy your time being part of the problem. You won't have your way for that much longer.

Part of it is that Cubans in S Florida are staunchly anti Castro/Communism and vote Republican. Other than Tancredo, I can't really think of another politician who made a contemporary negative comment about Cuban influence in S Florida.

You seem to know quite a lot about this, so tell me, why is that only homosexuals engage in the act of teabagging?

Not really. My grandmother and her sisters came to this country in the early 20th century. None of them ever learned how to speak English - didn't need to, Italian was spoken in every place they frequented. My mother did not learn how to speak English until she started school.

# Andrew Breitbart "I am proud to be a TeaBagger"
Below link to BreitBart's website proclaiming the above quote.
» I’m Proud to Be a Tea Bagger - Big Government


# Here are Tea Partiers holding up signs saying "TeaBag the Liberal Dems before they TeaBag you".
Right Now - A people's history of 'teabag'
Obviously the person/s who are holding the sign know the sexual connotation of the term.


# Here is a National Review piece on the term TeaBagger.Natrionla Review Online is a conservative NeoCon rag.
Quote:
The first big day for this movement was Tax Day, April 15. And organizers had a gimmick. They asked people to send a tea bag to the Oval Office. One of the exhortations was “Tea Bag the Fools in D.C.” A protester was spotted with a sign saying, “Tea Bag the Liberal Dems Before They Tea Bag You.” So, conservatives started it: started with this terminology. But others ran with it and ran with it.
Rise of an Epithet by Jay Nordlinger on National Review / Digital


# Here is a Tea Party website called ReTeaparty.com saying to "Tea Bag the fools in D.C."
April 1, 2009 | Tea Bag the Fools in D.C. | America's Re-Tea Party


# Here are some pics of TeaPartiers using the term.
i am proud to be a teabagger - Google Search


So really, it was Tea Partiers who coined the term. Some of them didn't know its sexual connotation but others did know and used the term as an epitaph.
