And President Bush seems to agree with them.
Jim: Juan, I see that you and thousands of other protesters are marching in the streets to demonstrate for your cause. Exactly what is your cause and what do you expect to accomplish by this protest?
Juan: We want our rights. We will show you how powerful we are. We will bring Houston to its knees!
Jim: What rights?
Juan: Our right to live here...legally. Our right to get all the benefits you get.
Jim: When did you come to the United States?
Juan: Six years ago. I crossed over the border at night with seven other friends.
Jim: Why did you come?
Juan: For work. I can earn as much in a month as I could in a year in Mexico. Besides, I get free health care, our Mexican children can go to school free, if I lose my job I will get Welfare, and someday I will have the Social Security. Nothing like that in Mexico!
Jim: Did you feel badly about breaking our immigration laws when you came?
Juan: No! Why should I feel bad? I have a right to be here. I have a right to amnesty. I paid lots of money for my Social Security and Green Cards.
Jim: How did you acquire those documents?
Juan: From a guy in Dallas. He charged me a lot of money too.
Jim: Did you know that those documents were forged?
Juan: It is of no matter. I have a right to be here and work.
Jim: What is the “right” you speak of?
Juan: The right of all Aliens. It is found in your Constitution. Read it!
Jim: I have read it, but I do not remember it saying anything about rights for Aliens.
Juan: It is in that part where it says that all men have Alien rights, like the right to pursue happiness. I wasn’t happy in Mexico, so I came here.
Jim: I think you are referring to the declaration of Independence and that document speaks to unalienable rights. Not Alien rights.
Juan: Whatever.
Jim: Since you are demanding to become an American citizen, why then are you carrying a Mexican Flag?
Juan: Because I am Mexican.
Jim: But you said you want to be given amnesty. To become a US citizen.
Juan: No. This is not what we want. This is our country, a part of Mexico that you Gringos stole from us. We want it returned to its rightful owner.
Jim: Juan, you are standing in Texas. After wining the war with Mexico, Texas became a Republic, and later Texans voted to join the USA. It was not stolen from Mexico.
Juan: That is a Gringo lie. Texas was stolen. So was California, New Mexico and Arizona. It is just like all the other stuff you Gringos steal, like oil and babies. You are a country of thieves.
No, do not be afraid of them, be afraid of the US Attorney Generals who are ordered to protect them.
The comments are supposed to come AFTER the story, not the other way around.
While Whitney Houston may not be a compelling interview subject, I don’t see a reason to outlaw it.
Where is the link for this? There is no link to the TV station, nor is there a link to the newspaper.
Some of us have been for quite some time. This problem came upon my radar back in the 80s when I lived in W. TX and was made aware of Mexican women crossing the border illegally to have their free American babies in our local hospital.
susie
go ahead and be afraid. you can be afraid all you want just as long as you don’t ask the rest of use to fear these illegal invaders. where is being afraid going to get you? concerned yes, afraid? never.
Juan: It is of no matter. I have a right to be here and work.
How long will it be I wonder before Lindsey Graham and Ted Kennedy declare that anyone who doesn't agree with this obvious anarchist is a bigot? As we speak they're working overtime on the weekend no less to give him and his comrades amnesty.
The “interview” practically screams “fake!”
By way of comparison, here are real quotes from marchers:
