Mos of these comments could have been said 40+ years ago about..

how many people felt about the "Francos" in the twin cities...
It was not uncommon to hear them speaking "frog" on Lisbon Street and many of us from outside of the city said "if you can't learn the language you should go back to Canada".
So the times change and the new ethnic group "du jour" to be slighted changes but everything remains the same.
So right back at you. ROFL...

How do you know if they were

How do you know if they were foreigners? They might be legal citizens and you can't deport people if they are legal citizens. Who knows they might have been white racist that started the fight after all none of use were their. If we deported everyone who fought this country would be empty.
I wish we could deport racist though.
