I wish the INS was there to check the Mayan's for Green Cards.
Odds are they are the same folks who hang out just outside the Northridge Home Depot looking for day labor.
This looks like one I saw just the other day.

TMZ has learned Mel Gibson exploded in anger last night on a college campus after an expert on Mayan culture accussed him of racially stereotyping the Mayans in the movie "Apocalypto."
It happened last night at Cal State University at Northridge in the San Fernando Valley. Gibson was speaking to a film class about his movies, and several members of the Mayan community came to hear the famous director.
After Gibson's presentation, the crowd was allowed to ask questions. Alicia Estrada, an Assistant Professor of Central American Studies at CSUN, challenged Gibson, asking him if he had read about the Mayan culture before shooting the controversial film. Gibson said he had.
Estrada persisted, stating that representations in the movie that the Mayans engaged in sacrificial ceremonies and had bloodthirsty tendencies were both wrong and racist. Estrada and others tell TMZ that Gibson exploded in anger, responding, "Lady #### off."
We're told Gibson also became extremely angry when members of the Mayan community protested on how they were portrayed in the film. The emotional Mayan members were escorted out of the room, and we're told Gibson screamed a parting shot -- "Make your own movie!"
UPDATE: Gibson's publicist, Alan Nierob, told TMZ, "This person was a heckler who was rude and disrupted the event, so much so that the event organizers had to escort her out." For the record, Nierob, not Howard Rubenstein, reps Gibson.
I wouldn't call that going ballistic; telling a mouthy, libber-slut to **** Off. Had he gone into a rage and assaulted her, that would be going ballistic.
I scanned through the thread. I've never heard of the professor in question, but it appears she's just your typical ignorant, racist, liberal slut. Apparently not Jewish. I can't imagine why ignorant, racist liberal sluts don't vote for conservatives.
I don't blame Mel...I hate being accussed!

Now that's funny.
That's our Mel.
Leftists flake off! Leftists have nothing worthwhile to say.
Great work Danny-boy! I never knew the conservative side of you.

Yea. Then we had the pre-Hispanic dining experience. Our guide was from Mexico City and way too tall to be Mayan.
I have found a new respect for him too!

So, the stuff you read in almost any reference to the Mayans is made up? Is that what you are saying?
Rush's Magic Negro is SO FUNNY. All you have to do is make fun of the libs and the Muzzies -- you could entertain yourself all day long.
"Is there any doubt the Mayans performed human sacrifice?"
Yes.
If some liberal-leftist faggot says it didn't happen, then it didn't happen. /Extreme Sarcasm.
"We're here, we're Mayans, and we're not going shopping!"
- the Mayan community.
Unless of course you are an alcoholic with a hair-trigger temper and issues with Jews.
Now THAT'S a great comeback to their silliness!
She is an immigrant from Guatemala, and it is unclear whether she is legal or illegal. It is doubtful she has any credentials at all other than that she was borne in Central America. Her sparse academic offerings are the usual shallow leftist rubbish.
LOL.
The Mayan society was in decay, which is what Gibson was showing. But the indian activists have mounted a campaign that is the equivalent of holocaust denial. They even deny that ther Aztecs had human sacrifice,
