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 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.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - A
young patient sauntered into a medical clinic
Friday morning and got prompt treatment — a
tranquilizer dart and a quick trip back to the
wilds. But again, this patient was the
four-legged kind: a young black bear that was
probably hungry from a winter of hibernation.
"He did not have an
appointment," said Todd Sandman, director
of public relations for Presbyterian Health Care
Services.
The 125-pound male bear,
perhaps 2 to 3 years old, wandered into the
Presbyterian Medical Group gastroenterology
laboratory around 7:15 a.m., Sandman
said.
The bear got in through an automatic door at the
lab, a stand-alone building off one the main
drags in Rio Rancho, north of Albuquerque.
"There were just a handful
of people there, before the time when it was
really open for appointments — I think a nurse,
perhaps a receptionist and a patient and
spouse," Sandman said.
"I think the person in the
waiting room was pretty surprised."
Everyone was safely evacuated, he said.
"Apparently, the bear was
very calm and retreated into a side room and
then further into a bathroom," said Dan
Williams, a New Mexico Department of Game and
Fish spokesman. An officer fired a tranquilizer
dart, sedating the bear in a little more than a
minute.

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!
