It's time for a national dialogue on the "w-word." I'll give you a hint: It's an offensive term that is meant to imply that all Mexican-Americans arrived in the United States by swimming across a river -- something that comes across as doubly offensive to immigrants who came to the country legally or those whose families have been here for generations.

so is it only singly offensive to illegal immigrants who arrived here otherwise, and not offensive to those who actually came by swimming across a river?

"Hello again. Would Kurtz have used the n-word on morning television? No way. So why use the w-word?"

It's great to see Mexicans providing the superb logical reasoning American workers don't want to
