Gov. Nathan Deal handed his critics a huge gift after he made a statement that a Hispanic student attending a forum on immigration at the University of Georgia was an illegal immigrant, WGCL-TV reports. Yep, the out-of-touch hypocrite who presided over the Snowmaggedon spectacle that left many Atlantans stranded and irate. [icopyright one button toolbar]

Gov. Deal: “There’s a fundamental problem that can only be resolved at the Congressional level and that is to deal with the issue of children, and I presume you probably fit the category, children who were brought here.”

The student’s response was priceless: “I’m not an illegal immigrant. I’m not. I don’t know why you would have thought that I was undocumented. Was it because I look Hispanic?”
