I don't think the term wetback was ever accepted in my lifetime, and I'm 32. Since I'm black I just substitute the n word automatically when I hear racial slurs. Sorry. Glad he apologized though, nice start.
I'm sure he has done fine work with the Native American population in Alaska, I think that is wonderful. But it is time for someone new. He is not the only person for the job. I hope he gets a real fight next time. I was attached to our former Sen. Ted, but I voted against him eventually.
