Does this make sense?

 Here is a REAL INTERVIEW with an illegal Mexican at a protest march in
Texas Trying to reason with an Illegal Mexican. 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 makes a new case when the previous case gets too difficult to
defend.

 On the streets of downtown
Houston, May 1, 2006. 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 s 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 right ... 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.

 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 liveBR>> 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!!!

I found your blog by hitting "next blog." It is really entertaining and one of my favorites. I don't even agree with you, but I still like it.

I couldn't resist commenting on this. I checked it out and it is not a real interview. I do see the points it is trying to make though.

Read what it says at the bottom.

I did see that on snopes. I never saw the interview but did see an interview with a younger person that when asked about why they were marching she responded for thier rights. When asked what rights she responded for equal rights and then kept walking down the street. So I know some of them had no idea why they were marching.

And the day without immigrants didn't hurt one bit here in Houston. It just caused a little more traffic since they were walking around in the streets like idiots. So much for the day "without" them.
