You know many on the right side of the political spectrum are having issues with the constant mocking of immigration issues by conservative media when a tweet alerting us to Drudge Report’s “John Boehner in a Sombrero” image came from an actual Latin@ conservative:
I’m surprised @latinorebels didn’t say anything about the cover of Drudge…

So, we checked it out, and last night we found this:
Which lead to this an Ann Coulter piece basically slamming the GOP leadership for even considering “principles” for immigration reform because in the end she has PROOF:
Immigrants — all immigrants — have always been the bulwark of the Democratic Party. For one thing, recent arrivals tend to be poor and in need of government assistance. Also, they’re coming from societies that are far more left-wing than our own. History shows that, rather than fleeing those policies, they bring their cultures with them. (Look at what New Yorkers did to Vermont.)
This is not a secret. For at least a century, there’s never been a period when a majority of immigrants weren’t Democrats.
At the current accelerated rate of immigration — 1.1 million new immigrants every year — Republicans will be a fringe party in about a decade.
Thanks to endless polling, we have a pretty good idea of what most immigrants believe.
According to a Harris poll, 81 percent of native-born citizens think the schools should teach students to be proud of being American. Only 50 percent of naturalized U.S. citizens do.
While 67 percent of native-born Americans believe our Constitution is a higher legal authority than international law, only 37 percent of naturalized citizens agree.
No wonder they vote 2-1 for the Democrats.
Aside: Is Coulter not an immigrant herself? But we digress. Back to the main point.
So Drudge puts Boehner in a sombrero because when it comes to visually explaining the whole “immigrant” problem, always go with the Mexican motif. Umm, in your quest to actually save the GOP, using these types of memes just perpetuate the image that Republicans really don’t like Mexicans. Or Latinos. We do wonder how the remaining 6-7 Latino Republicans are feeling about this today. Psst, the extreme part of the GOP, the one that actually shapes national ignorance, is not that into you, guys.
And we’re not the only ones who think gets a #NoMames:
Seriously @DRUDGE_REPORT? Putting a sombrero on Boehner when talking about immigration reform? Stay classy.

♫ @SpeakerBoehner, That sombrero @DRUDGE has U in does not enhance your image. ♫ Neither will pushing any form of altered #immigration laws♫

…If anyone's wondering, Boehner's still wearing the sombrero on Drudge. No? No one? Okay.

Conservatives are upset at MSNBC but laughing at @DRUDGE_REPORT sombrero? Something's wrong with this picture, especially if same people.

As expected, some people thought the sombrero image was awesome:
LMAO! Drudge putting a sombrero on PePe Boehner's head is prophetic and pathetic because it fits his out of touch RINO head.. #GoodNiteIrene

Tonight's headline picture on Drudge says it all. Boehner in a sombrero. What an unprincipled man Boehner is. Go have another drink, John.

The anti-religious but, http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/peraturan.html above all, anti-Christian efforts which distinguish the present epoch have a character of concentration and universality which marks the stamp of the Jew, the supreme patron of the unification of peoples, because he is the cosmopolitan people par http://www.cintaberita.com excellence; because http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/jadwal.html the Jew prepares by license of the libre-pensÇe, the era called by him ‘Messianic’ – the day of his universal triumph. He attributes its near realization to the http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/promo.html principles spread by the philosophers http://www.cintaberita.com of the eighteenth century; the men at once unbelievers and cabalists, whose “http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/panduan.html work prepared the Judaising of the world. The character of universality will be noted in L’Alliance-isrÇlite-universelle, in the Universal Association of Freemasonry, and in the more recent auxiliaries, L’Alliance-universelle-religieuse, http://dokterpoker.orgopen to those who are still frightened off by the name of Israelite and finally in the Ligue-universelle de l’enseignement.
