"Dear Border Patrol: My red hair & pale skin IS my passport"

How do you interpret that?

2. Unfortunately, it sounds as if he knows his way around at the border.
Shame!

3. It was tough analyzing that coded message,
but I'm pretty sure it means being white gets him in. Of course, dumbass probably doesn't realize that there are some Mexicans who have red hair and pale skin, but who cares about silly things like facts?

9. Oh no! The Vikings are back!
I guess that means all of my red-headed Irish cousins can come to live here if they want! But why would they?

16. Joshua Treviño
May need a new mirror!

And a new surname... I don't know many "white folk" who use a tilde over any part of their name.

20. Phew - the wave of bullying superiority I feel.... It's making me heady....
Somebody really should look into popularizing such lines.

15. I'm just going to say this
In the years before 9/11 it was very easy for me to come across the border from Mexico. I didn't need to show a driver's license or anything, the guy would just ask me a question like "where you from?" and I'd say "Al-a-baaam-a" and they'd be "welcome back to the USA." I could walk in with pockets full of cubans and carrying bags with more liters of Tequila than I was supposed to have without paying taxes and nobody would look. Basically they just wanted to hear my accent to make sure I wasn't German or something. I am pale skinned, sandy blond hair. The guy in front of me or behind me with dark skin and hair would be showing all kinds of IDs.

Beyond that, I'm not sure what this jack ass means. Somehow he expects to be treated differently because of his appearance. He's a racist.

19. As racist bullshit.
:shrug: Typically jasckass who only thinks "illegal alien" comes in brown
.
I guess that person would have been shocked to see all the fair skinned illegal aliens from Ireland who lived here in SF during the 80s. :eyes:

21. Ok. By stating that, you are Irish.
And I'll see your passport, and don't forget the visa - or be prepared to be deported to Knock, Ireland.

23. Yeah. Odds are it means you're Scotch Canadian.
Get the fuck back on your own side of the border unless you're bringing some Tim Horton's with you.
