According to the Washington Post, Minnesota representative Michele Bachmann reacted to pending executive action on immigration reform with the following statement:
"The social cost will be profound on the U.S. taxpayer — millions of unskilled, illiterate, foreign nationals coming into the United States who can’t speak the English language."
And how does she back up her offensive use of the word 'illiterate'? She claims she heard it from 'American Hispanics on the border". Apparently she thinks she can escape responsibility for her racist comments by blaming them on people from the same ethnic group she is attacking. That's cowardly.
