    There's not a prejudiced bone in my body and I really don't have favorites in ethnic types. In 22 years of teaching, I was never accused of prejudice and that's how I live. I guess that's because I'm a "MUTT." Name a nationality and I probably have it flowing in my veins.

    The situation described above is not limited to Hispanic folks but since we are in close proximity to Hispanic borders, we see that more in Texas. In other areas of our nation, the abusers of our laws have many faces. I'll just say "Illegal Aliens" and apply it to the above post. The laws are unfair and they need to change. It's just one more way the average American gets screwed by the system.
