Boortz: “Muslims, making tortillas? ... [W]ith all of the illegal Mexicans in this country, we can't find some Mexicans to make those tortillas?”

Saying he was cited by “Media Morons,” Boortz again smears Mexicans: "[A]ny Mexican worth his salt would be able to" operate a floor buffer “without getting hurt”

Boortz's commentary on his inability to use a floor buffer: “I would make a lousy Mexican”
