Key members of Hawaii’s Hispanic community Wednesday blasted Councilman Rod Tam for using an ethnic slur.
Last month at a council meeting, Tam said he was worried about undocumented workers taking Hawaii jobs.
“They got to be skilled licensed workers. We don’t want any wetbacks basically. We have been having contractors, developers bringing in wetbacks from New Mexico… from Mexico, I’m sorry,” Tam said during the meeting.”*
