Southern Miss band chants 'Where's your green card?"

Kansas State guard Angel Rodriguez was born in Puerto Rico. Keep that in mind as you watch Rodriguez get ready to take a free throw during Thursday's game against Southern Miss in the video below.

As Rodriguez is walking to the free throw line, you can hear pretty clearly, people chanting, "Where's your green card?" at Rodriguez.

Reporters at the game tweeted that Southern Miss band members were the ones chanting.

(By the way, band members, a quick geography lesson: Puerto Rico is a part of the United States. If you're born in Puerto Rico, you're an American citizen.)

And we have a bigot for SOS who has written all the nasty voter ID and immigration laws all over the country, including that nasty law in AZ.

Old Miss, if they don't know that people born in Puerto Rico are automatically US Citizens. Natural born, even. Someone from PR could become our President one day. Morons!
