Mike Pence’s attempt to dismiss “that Mexican thing” has turned into a hashtag of inspiring stories
You may have noticed the moment in the Vice Presidential debate when Governor Mike Pence, fed up with Senator Tim Kaine quoting Donald Trump’s slurs against Mexican immigrants, sighed “Senator, with that Mexican thing again.” Unfortunately for Pence, “that Mexican thing” quickly transformed into a hashtag, with Mexican Americans taking to Twitter to recount their families’ hard-working immigration stories.

#ThatMexicanThing is my abuelita who moved to San Antonio without speaking English & slept in a barn while picking lettuce every summer.
#ThatMexicanThing is my Dad who came to US, worked the Red Line as brakeman, worked each day of his life & died of Lung Cancer from Asbestos
