Man speaking Spanish told to 'go back to Mexico'
The video has gone viral after it was posted earlier this month.
....it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

Trump's comments were widely criticized by Democratic lawmakers, many of whom characterized his attacks as racist.
Many on social media have described the refrain “go back to your country” as a common attack against people of color in the U.S.
Last year, a Sikh man was attacked and told to go back to his country while he was putting up campaign signs near Turlock, California.
Castillo, who has worked as the general manager for the Burger King in Eustis for a year and a half, said he has never experienced anything like this, but added he isn’t surprised. He hopes the video serves as a lesson on how people should treat others.
“Everybody has their different opinions, nobody is the same,” said Castillo. “We’re all human beings and we deserve to be treated with respect.”
