The legacy governor of New York State, Andrew Cuomo, declared that he’s an undocumented immigrant for some stupid reason, according to Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m undocumented. You want to deport an undocumented person, start with me because I\u2019m an undocumented person,\u201d Cuomo, 60, said during a bill signing.<\/p>\n

During the bizarre speech, the New York governor criticized the “extreme conservative movement” for being “anti-immigrant.” He said his family, who emigrated to the U.S. from Italy, was constantly ridiculed with a racial slur that he said meant \u201cwithout papers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m an Italian-American. I came from poor Italian-Americans who came here. You know what they called Italian-Americans back in the day? They called them wops,\u201d Cuomo said, referring to the pejorative slur for Italians. \u201cYou know what wop stood for? Without papers.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, Cuomo was born in Queens, his father was born there, too. While they are indeed wops, in the vernacular of my more youthful days, that’s not what the term means;<\/p>\n

According to the Online Etymology dictionary, the slur originated from southern Italian dialect \u201cguappo,\u201d which means \u201cdandy, dude, stud.\u201d The dictionary said it\u2019s not an acronym.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since Cuomo is second generation Italian, he’s not undocumented. In fact, real undocumented aliens aren’t happy with Cuomo’s attempt at virtue signaling;<\/p>\n

Immigrant advocacy group Make the Road Action has called on Cuomo to apologize for the comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo Dreamer and immigrants like me, these fabrications are offensive,\u201d Make the Road Action member Antonio Alarcon said in a statement, adding that the governor \u201chas no idea what it\u2019s like to live as an undocumented person.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those of us who came to this country with our parents to find a better life, and have struggled daily to get by and faced the threat of being torn from our family, it\u2019s unbelievable that the governor would try to claim to have shared our experience,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Immigration officers shouldn’t let the fact that Cuomo isn’t an illegal alien keep them for deporting his dumb ass, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
