If you are here LEGALLY, I don't care where you came from, as long as you respect this country and obey the law. Welcome aboard! However, if you did NOT come here legally, either stop causing trouble and apply for proper paperwork to become LEGAL, or GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!!

Jim Moore reporting for a Houston TV station:
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 winning 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.
Jim: Babies? You think we steal babies?
Juan: Sure. Like from Korea and Vietnam and China. I see them all over the
place. You let all these foreigners in, but try to keep us Mexicans out. How
is this fair?
Jim: So, you really don't want to become an American citizen then.
Juan: I just want my rights! Everyone has a right to live, work, and speak
their native language wherever and whenever they please. That's another
thing we demand. All signs and official documents should be in Spanish.
Teachers must teach in Spanish. Soon, more people here in Houston will speak
Spanish than English. It is our right!
Jim: If I were to cross over the border into Mexico without proper
documentation, what rights would I have there?
Juan: None. You would probably go to jail, but that's different.
Jim: How is it different? You said everyone has the right to live wherever they
please.
Juan: You Gringos are a bunch of land grabbing thieves. Now you want Mexico
too? Mexico has its rights. You Gringos have no rights in Mexico. Why would you
want to go there anyway? There is no free medical service, schools, or welfare
there for foreigners such as you. You cannot even own land in my country. Stay in
the country of your birth.
Jim: I can see that there is no way that we can agree on this issue.
Thank you for your comments.
Juan: Viva Mexico!
This is a REAL INTERVIEW with an illegal Mexican at a protest march in Texas.
Trying to reason with an Illegal Mexican. This is good! Above is a good example of a
discussion with a master of circular logic. Don't be logical, don't respect the truth or
your adversary, just say what you think makes a new case when the previous case gets
too difficult to defend. On the streets of downtown Houston...
