For Mr. Amigo, he should be challenged to climb the Border Wall on local TV.

Soooo, the Mr. Amigo Association wants to be part of Charro Days again ? I guess they realized they need to be involved in order to fundraise ? Haa. When do they leave for Mexico City?

You might as well have chosen that special needs guy who sings parody songs for Erasmo Castro's facebook as Mr. Amigo.
Poor guy, no one has the balls to tell him he dresses like a homeless guy looking for attention.

Now we have a proposal by “his Orangeship” to revoke the amendment on birthright citizenship; part of the extreme right’s paranoid battle to retain Caucasians as a majority population in a country where the white people are having fewer and fewer babies.

That's what this is about: Whites fear becoming minorities, although they already are in Texas.

I hope Colombia and other countries can find better trade partners. The US is now unstable. Trade could be halted any time for any reason. The US is no longer a reliable trade partner. I hope countries that trade with the US make back-up plans before Trump destroys their economies (and ours).

You mean that weirdo that tries to sing ? I think that's Erasmo's boyfriend.

When they did the separate ceremony, it was a small gathering. Few people went. Hopefully, the Mr. Amigo Association invites this composer to the parades and other events. Do a concert and his father's songs. That will be a great fundraiser. There is a doctor here in Brownsville that likes to sponsor these concerts.

The Fourteenth Amendment (1868) to the Constitution of the United States granted citizenship and equal civil and legal rights to African Americans and slaves who had been emancipated after the American Civil War. This is an outdated law like many laws in the books that is outdated and needs to be revised.

Some of our trade partners were taking advantage of our country due to the weak democratic administration. Now the current administration is calling them in. Trade should be fair across the board. Try and get over your parties loss.

The only legacy is all the money he stole through his century in politics.

Cantinflas was a good choice. He was a well versed Mexicano. He was no India Maria.

How much did this Nepo Baby get paid by the organization ? Did these funds come from the city Hotel taxes?

No, they ICE Border Patrol, are actually in the parade so they are busy parading and that is the time when illegal aliens can go out and shop and drive their cars around town. Unless they have more than 50 agents, then we are doomed.
