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 .
* Andrew's father, Mario, was already a licensed lawyer when Andrew was born in 1958 and was a well-known lawyer in the NY Metro area in the 1960s when Andrew was a child. Andrew's mother, Matilda, was college-educated. Andrew was 17 when Mario became NY Secretary of State. See Wikipedia.

Yeah, he lies. We in New York, know this. He has some kind of hopes to be president someday to carry on what his dad couldn't. He was born in the United States to American Citizens, so that makes him a jackwad, not an illegal-based on his comments. If he runs for president, while bad for the nation, but at least that moron would not be continuing to screw over New Yorkers (exclusively anyway).....Wonder what would happen in the Moreland Commission was stood back up? They had turned their sights on the Governor and staff when he disbanded them suddenly.....all because the witch hunt was going in the direction he wanted anymore.
BTW, he did an 'Executive Order' the other day allowing parolees the right to vote. This was an 'end around' the NYS Assembly and Senate. And a blatant sop to the left. If you are having problems getting votes, make a new class of voters.......WTF?
Hate to pee on your party but Andrew Cuomo's name is pretty much shit in the Democratic party. He's taking all sorts of shit for these comments from his own party and Cynthia Nixon is going to kick his ass.
That will be alot of fun to watch. The Actress vs. the Bully. Great choices!
"challenges officials to deport him"
CHALLENGE !
Oh please....someone "Challenge" !
let him claim that on an official document
Here's another trying to curry voters story starring hisself.
Stunning article. Between stupidly calling himself an illegal immigrant, wanting to give 35,000 felons on parole the right to vote, and destroying the restaurant industry in NYC, maybe Cuomo is trying to lose re-election on purpose?
Well, his election base are the sheeple in NYC who wear their rose colored glasses-and always vote left. As oposed to the rest of New York State (he actually wins in urban settings where there are lots of benefit receipients), but outside those places? Not so much. I can see why Heartland America is frustrated in Northern California-the people in the cesspools want to drag the rest of us in with them.
BTW, not sure it's the restaurant industry in NYC alone-he's the governor of New York State.......
My mistake. Your article reflects ALL of New York State.
