Immigration Reform News 2013: Viral Video Shows Arkansas Congressman Criticize Constituent for Mexican Flag Shirt

Arkansas Congressman Steve Womack's patronizing remark about clothing to one of his constituents at a town hall meet last week went viral, bringing out a non-apology apology from the U.S. Representative about the spirit of his comments. At the town hall, the constituent - who's name is difficult to understand in this YouTube video - identifies himself as a Mexican-American from Fort Smith, Arkansas. Speaking with unaccented English, the young man, who is wearing a Mexican-flag colored polo shirt, describes having two Mexican parents and questions if Womack sees any hope for immigration reform to help create a pathway to citizenship for the eleven million undocumented residents of the United States.
