"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."
Popular culter SAYS its what is inside that counts.
When we find eva repusive for what she has inside, the hollyweird left then only look at her outside.
Sorry but this is only class of ugly that does go straight to the bone.
I hope her cover appearances cause sales to plunge.
I just came here for the pictures.
Shut up and act, Eva.
I can think of a better place for her to sit.
I'm sorry. I didn't get the reference.
Please accept my apologies.
"The fact that the year is 2006 and slavery's still happening is insane.""
The slavery I see is the taxpayers who are forced to continue paying for the schools, medical needs, sheriffs & prisons & courts, the instant reduction of property values from the density and debris the influx of diseases the USA got under control years ago- see mumps in the midwest- the cost of insurance with illegal, unlicensed and uninsured drivers.
My State Farm auto insurance now costs me over 30% of the total premium just for UNINSURED MOTORIST coverage. In 1993, this same coverage cost me barely i/2 of 1% of my premium. I have had state farm for over 25 years, and get all multiple discounts there are available.
If miss Eva can tell me that I should pay this much because of how wonderful the illegal crimmigrants are, she had bett do it inside my living room, and I can show her these figures up close and personal.
She is living at the top of the heap. She doesn't have a clue about the depth of the costs of the illegal crimmigrants being here in droves.
I have the records. Someone needs to explain to all of us how we all are NOT inpacted by the presence of these people when these figures don't lie. I don't think State Farm is exploiting me. I think they are forced to pay out alot of money due to illegal drivers who have absolutely no assets to seize, and who get sent home, only to return immediately.
the illegals have no respect for the laws and rules. They don't really think in a civilized manner. They only keep going from day to day creating their own kind of pollution in the American society.
Build the Wall and send them home.
Sign me up for a shift to watch that they don't scale the wall. I am ready, locked and loaded.
This should have been addressed to you:
I'm sorry. I didn't get the reference.
Please accept my apologies.
THERE'S MY BOY, I LOVE IT!!!! SOMEONE HAD THE B*LLS TO SAY IT!! I was giving it another 5 minutes before I let it out... : )
Most Tejanos I know would take great offense at being called Mexican, even if it is hypenated with American. They are Tejanos and Americans. Us Gringos are Texians or Texicans, and Americans. Even if our heritage is Deutsch.
She's a flippin' numb skull. Not that I would kick her out of bed- in the unlikely event this opportunity presented itself.
Shut up and act, Eva.""
Yeah- she is acting like she cares.
She is also acting like she "Understands" .....
Give me a break...
I have horses and I ride, but I sure as heck don't understand how hard Eddie Arcaro and Gary Stevens worked to do their jobs......
I'll water Eva's lawn for free!
I'm with you! Unfortunately, I'd probably end up doing the same as her "prop" in post #73 about 10 yards prior to even getting to the bed...
But Hell, I'd give it my best shot... (no pun intended...)
Yeah, I'd water her lawn, but I wouldn't use a hose.
Eva has opened her mouth, and as generally happens with these Hollyweird libs, all doubt is removed.
