"Desperate Housewives" vixen Eva Longoria is stepping out of the house with her political views on immigration, saying it's "unfortunate" some American lawmakers are looking to deport illegal aliens and build a barrier on the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Mexicans contribute an enormous amount to our society, economically and socially," the Texas-born Mexican-American actress told Reuters. "I don't think this administration can afford to have things end badly."
In an interview published in Ireland Online, the actress who worked with the John Kerry presidential campaign in 2004, accepted the fact she has become a role model for the Latin community, and is looking to effect change in the lives of foreigners living below the poverty line in the U.S.
"I work a lot with the National Council of La Raza, which is the largest Latino civil rights organization in the country and I work a lot with the United Farm Workers," Longoria, 31, said. "I've been in the fields with these people and I've tried to experience a day in the life of these people. I'm producing a documentary on the labor workers."
She added: "We're in this big debate about the future of our immigration laws which is colored by the often negative media portrayals of Latinos in television and film. In the 1940s, after the Great Depression, they did a huge deportation of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans who were American citizens ... .
"Everyone has a right to be treated as a human being. There are slavery lawsuits in Florida right now against some orange growers. ... The fact that the year is 2006 and slavery's still happening is insane."
She can wiggle, if she wants, too.
Agreed.
Well, there went any admiration I may have had for Eva Longoria, appearances on David Letterman notwithstanding.
I have witnessed some of the terrorists tactics of the UFW and want nothing to do with them.
Heh. You should google things like that first. You might learn something!
But they'll vote Democrat, and that's all they care about.
Any guesses on who tends her lawn and garden? housekeeper? pool boy? nanny? etc?
All jobs real Americans won't do.
The first step is to DOCUMENT THEM!
Once they are on the roles we can deal with their background to wit: are they good, hard working people with family values or a felon.
Next we can deal with the employers. Are they meeting their responsibilities vis a vis taxes, benefits, etc.
Finally a few, proud men and women will be enlisted into the army guard of our newest state - Campeche. We wont stop at the Halls of Monctezuma but will free from the Yucatan to Baja and provide our citizens with the wealth of this region that has been stolen by the greedy ruling class that has put down their citizens for the last 400+ years. All we ask is for the oil at a fair price and we will spread our freedom South. First to Central America and evemtually all the way to Tierra del Feuga!
Napolean tried to establish his crown in Mexico City during our Civil War. I don't ask for a crown but I would be a benificent Capo, kinda like Tony Soprano. Eva is welcome to sit at my side. Bada Bing!!!
I thought it was funny.
I bet she does. * nudge, nudge, wink, wink *
Also in agreement.
She's no Salma Hayek.
Hey, I just noticed she had a head!
So far they are being made to pay her 4 years of back wages at $16,000 per year. I guess 4 years at $64,000 is the going rate for a slave these days.
Still up on the kidnapping, rape, and other charges. And I think harboring an illegal immigrant.
The only thing I want this woman for has NOTHING to do with political opinions.
It was.
How could you miss her head. In the dictionary under "Ectomorph" you'll see her picture.
