Interview of Illegal Mexican Immigrant
Here is a REAL INTERVIEW with an illegal Mexican at a protest march in Texas.
This is good! Below 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 that makes a new case when the previous case gets too difficult to defend.
Jim Moore reporting for a Houston TV station on the streets of downtown Houston
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 !

New thoughts on the Afterlife
Thoughts on the Zombie Apocalypse:
A funny idea was brought up at the office one morning during a discussion on cremation over burial. The girls were talking about what their family thought about cremation and one of them claimed their husband was against it because of the Second Coming. He claimed that when Jesus came back, his wife could not be resurrected due to her body no longer having a human form, but instead was a bunch of ashes dissolved into the ocean or earth. I chimed in that it may be better to be resurrected as ash than as a walking corpse who, depending on how well the undertaker did his job, might be in some form of decay. According to the woman’s husband, essentially the Second Coming would be signified by a vast amount of zombies walking the earth. Does this mean that Jesus will bring about the Zombie Apocalypse? It’s really a terrifying thought, being resurrected by the Savior only to find out that you’re a walking corpse; essentially a zombie.
Surely someone as powerful and intelligent as Jesus Christ would know better than to breathe life into partially, or even fully decomposed bodies, even if we did retain our memories and soul. Maybe the movies all got it wrong, what if the zombies are the “good guys” and the survivors are the “bad guys.” I’ve thought this entire time that, when the zombies come, I would have to gather the survivors and make my way to the ocean, gathering supplies and ordinance, in order to defend the last vestige of mankind from the walking dead. What if I carve a path through the land of zombies all the way to the Atlantic before I realize that all the undead I have slaughtered are actually God’s People resurrected? Could I even resist such a thing, after being conditioned by Robert Romero and all the others who have made zombie movies off of which I base my strategies? I’ve hardened myself to the grim reality that the Zombie Apocalypse presents for society as a whole: the crumbling of infrastructure, the loss of loved ones to unspeakable evil and the idea that a head-shot could meant the difference between life and death; but I had never given thought to the idea that it would all be brought about by the Second Coming, or that the Rapture might leave us all with a world dominated by the skeletal remains of Abraham Lincoln. Strategies will certainly have to be reworked at this point, anyways.Honestly, now that you’ve brought this up I’m shocked that nobody else has ever addressed this issue. Why aren’t religious leaders informing us of this?
First Reply..........
Why aren’t Republicans using this against Obama? If Obama was as smart as he thinks he is he would jump all over this and make it an issue leading up to his reelection campaign. I think there is a conspiracy to keep us from knowing the truth about zombies and the apocalypse.
It is comforting to know that we have you on the government payroll thinking about important issues like this.
However, you do make a few statements need a little deeper thought.
For instance, your concern that you would “carve a path through the land of zombies all the way to the Atlantic before I realize that all the undead I have slaughtered are actually God’s People resurrected?”. I don’t mean to offend your prowess as a fighter but what experience in your past leads you to believe you could even carve a path down your driveway before being mowed down by a pack of rampaging zombies? I doubt if you even really know how to kill the undead. And if the undead get redead don’t they just get raised again? Plus, maybe you should consider the fact that once you are killed you might arise as one of the zombies you seem hellbent on carving thru. Then you will look at guys who have your attitude as being quite unenlightened.
Second, the thought that Jesus can’t resurrect a cremated body is absurd. What about people who have been incinerated in wrecks or by bombs or by accidental meth lab explosions? It seems unfair to say that a soldier who was hit by a bomb has forfeited his chance at the good life beyond the grave. In fact, 99% of the population could use a new physical form. I think the Man In The Sky would give the resurrected an upgraded body that is more appreciated by society as a whole. You don’t want to spend eternity always feeling like you need to work out more or be careful what you eat, or constantly feeling like you need some cosmetic surgery. Who will even perform cosmetic surgeries in the afterlife? Has anybody thought about that?
And do you really think it would be better to be resurrected as ash? You wouldn’t even be able to turn on a tv or drive a car or drink beer. And don’t expect to get any dates. Plus, you would always have to rely on someone pouring beer on you. Think about how you would suffer if you couldn’t drink beer by yourself for eternity. Clearly it is better to have a functional decayed corpse than be a pile of ashes.

Thoughts on Racism and Illegal Immigration
I've been reading some articles on the new AZ law and have some thoughts to share:
If you want to exterminate any aspect of racial profiling; make sure no actions are ever committed that would insinuate racial motivation, then this is what we have to resort to:
1) We cannot ever arrest, accuse, or imprison an unequal amount of people from each race. If 20 white people are pulled over for a traffic violation in a day and 19 hispanics have already been pulled over, then we have to pull over exactly 1 more hispanic by the end of the day, no more no less, despite the severity.
2) We have to assign every single person a defining race, which will have to be very generic for logistic purposes. It doesn't matter if you're from Mexico or Brazil, you're in the same group. If you're from Spain or Portugal, you get thrown in the European group, even if your family has been here for 180 years. If you're from a mixed race family, then we have to determine exactly which race is most dominant in order to classify you.
3) We have to have an equal amount of inmates from each race in prison. If we bring in 2 extra Asian Americans, then we have to go out and "find" 2 more of every other race, maiking up crimes if we have to in order to preserve equality. There must also be an equal amount of guards from each race and a complex matrix to make sure that each inmate shares an equal amount of time with inmates from each race to avoid segregation.
4) Every single person must carry at least 3 forms of documentation to provide authorities to show that they are legal immigrants upon asking, including those from the Native American group. If an officer pulls over a Native American and asks for documentation, he must then spend the rest of his day meticulously finding someone from every other racial group to pull over and question, even if said officer lives in a remote Wyoming village. Said officer must immediately be fired and replaced if he/she fails to meet the racial quota by the end of the day for being a bigot.
5) I could go on, but you get the picture. I'm not saying racism and profiling don't exist, but if we accuse everyone out there of being racist and profiling a certain race without looking at the context of the situation, these are the kind of reforms we have to look forward to. Sometimes pulling over a dark-skinned person and inquiring about their legal status, in a state that has an apparent problem with illegal Hispanics, isn't so much racial profiling as it is logic. And these legals getting swept up, are they being beaten and imprisoned indefinately, or are they simply being inconvenienced? If I got asked for my ID by a black police officer who wanted to make sure I wasn't an illegal from Ireland, I seriously doubt I would throw such a fuss about it
