Andrew Cuomo claims he's 'undocumented,' challenges officials to deport him

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a New York City native, raised eyebrows last week after he claimed that he was an illegal immigrant and taunted officials to deport him. Im undocumented. You want to deport an undocumented person, start with me because Im an undocumented person, Cuomo, 60, said during a bill signing. 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 without papers.

Im 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, Cuomo said, referring to the pejorative slur for Italians. You know what wop stood for? Without papers.

According to the Online Etymology dictionary, the slur originated from southern Italian dialect guappo, which means dandy, dude, stud. The dictionary said its not an acronym.

A day earlier, Cuomo addressed a group of union workers and said he was raised by poor immigrants from South Jamaica, a neighborhood in Queens, New York. His father Mario, a three-term governor of New York, was born in Queens to Italian immigrant parents. His mother, Matilda, was also born in Queens.

Immigrant advocacy group Make the Road Action has called on Cuomo to apologize for the comments.

To Dreamer and immigrants like me, these fabrications are offensive, Make the Road Action member Antonio Alarcon said in a statement, adding that the governor has no idea what its like to live as an undocumented person.

Im undocumented." No. You're a moron. Just like your entire lunatic family.

Is he a democrat? Then, Ipso Facto, he isn't an American citizen. Deport his treasonous ass... Damascus, as a suggestion. Be awful sad if some fuzzy wuzzy sawed his head off with a butter knife.

Back in the 90's I remember several fine upstanding "legitimate businessmen" who were deported back to Italy. I have no problem sending some of their offspring after them.



To: Hadean

Well it is tempting.... can we send him to Italy and make him stay??

Andrew was never too bright or rational.

How about the Italian part of what used to be Abyssinia, like [Italian] Eritrea?

Im undocumented. You want to deport an undocumented person, start with me because Im an undocumented person, Cuomo, 60, said No, you're not. You're nuts, just like all the other proglib comrats. You need a new "white jacket" and a membership card to the Rubber Room Club. .

Bill Clinton- best black president

Obama - best women president

Hillary - was going to be best male president

Cuomo - Im an illegal immigrant (and if so youre not allowed to hold office...) Democrats. Morons.

Just another political stunt!



To: Hadean

Only leftist liberals say ‘undocumented’ they are illegal aliens, or illegal foreigners, and very funny, haha, they are fully documented: with their foreign Id’s, foreign birth certificates, foreign passports etc. Who came up with that travesty of calling then ‘undocumented’

All he has to do is renounce his American citizenship.

Problem solved.
