There are dumb asses everywhere in every state, on every issue. No one has a corner on dumbassedness.
Dumbasses tend to be the loudest.

Also, there might be a difference in generalizing illegals as Mexicans and being specific about it. I feel a lot of people, I'll admit to doing it once or twice, generalize and imply that illegal aliens are Mexicans but will obviously know its not true when questioned further. People then attack the generalization which was never suppose to be 100% accurate in the first place.....because it's a generalization. Miscommunication issue.
