IMMIGRATION/MEXICO/RACISM/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “A man and his mother were doing yard work in California when a woman unleashed a diatribe against Mexicans, and — invoking President Trump — called them rapists, animals and drug dealers. The encounter was captured in a video that was posted on Twitter early Monday [6-25-18] morning and had been viewed more than two million times by night. In the video, which lasts about 35 seconds, the man — identified as Esteban Guzman — went back and forth with the unidentified woman, who at one point appeared to make a vulgar gesture with her middle finger…Mr. Guzman told the woman that ‘we’re honest people.’ She laughed and countered with her own impressions: ‘Rapists. Animals. Drug dealers.’ She mentioned the president, who has at times made similar remarks about illegal immigrants coming across the border, often from Mexico…Tensions concerning race and immigration have been playing out across the country, as President Trump has taken a hard line against illegal immigration.”
