Immigration is not part of Joe Frank Martinez’s job. But in Del Rio, Texas, like in other majority Latino communities across the country, the issue is high on voters’ minds and is disrupting long-standing political allegiances.

So let's stop speaking in euphemisms. When you say "illegals" that is explicitly genocidal language, little different than the usual 'insects', 'vermin', etc.
