Mexneck, you remind me of one of my neighbors.
He's 100% American, born here, family has always been from Texas, they fought in the War for independence back in the 1830's etc. Yet, because he now lives in an area that's 96% Scotch Irish, he's sometimes mistaken for an illegal...until he speaks...he sounds just like a redneck, good ol boy.
He doesn't like the illegals either, especially the gang banger variety. He left Texas and came here to get away from them.
