GREAT MOMENTS IN POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: “U.S. citizen or not, Texas valedictorians should make us proud,” says Dallas Morning News  intern (and 2016 University of Austin graduate) Mac McCann:

McKinney Boyd High School valedictorian Larissa Martinez had a 4.95 GPA and took 17 AP classes. Soon, she’s heading to Yale on a full scholarship. In her graduation speech, Larissa declared, “I am one of the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the shadows of the United States.” Her speech received a well-deserved standing ovation.

Down in Austin, Mayte Lara Ibarra recently graduated from Crockett High School. She was the valedictorian, with a 4.5 GPA, and graduated with 13 cords and medals. At her graduation June 3, before giving her valedictorian speech, she introduced the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem. Soon, she’ll be headed to my alma mater, the University of Texas at Austin, on a full-ride scholarship

The accomplishments and bright future of Larissa and Mayte should make all Texans, all Americans proud. Instead, they riled up a hornet’s nest.

CTRL-F “Illegal Immigrant:” Zero returns. Or as Twitchy notes, regarding Martinez’s tweeting about her not being an American citizen, “This is all you need to see in order to realize there is a problem in America regarding illegal immigrants. It is now, unbelievably, socially acceptable to brag about abusing hard working middle class Americans’ taxes.”
