Thanks Foratv... I´m an immigrate, Jewish who´s parents barely survived the camps, father Hungarian, Mother Vienna and Myself Vienna. Wanted to come to the USA, but Jewish quotas pushed us to Canada, one suitcase 10 dollars 1955. Life is hard no one wanted us, called us DP. Started a life of an immigrant a 8 years old, now at 61 years old still an immigrant. Canada USA even Mexico abuses immigrants and to feel loyalty to the administration seems a lie. Al here lied right on the onset about the fees, his response, was testing to see how smart the audience is so he can adjust his lies. Being a Jew like myself, Al should know better however raised through Cuban Jews is different because Castro denounced religion and suppressed it, Therefore Alejandro´s Jewish upbring is very surface-shallow. Good excuse Man, politically correct, and that´s why He has the Job, He is used to begging congress.Lousy Job for a smart Jew.Enforcement like now TSA security expects you to go through the radiation body scanners raising your, two hands above your head just like Orwell´s 1984, watch you-tube five minutes of hate George´s 1984. The abuse pat-downs reminds me of Nazis checking Jews before they get on the trains,1939, groping,grabbing and checking private parts, All immigration policies and security agencies running scared of Muslim fundamentalists, FOUNDING FATHERS SAID, THOSE WHO GIVE UP LIBERTY FOR SECURITY DESERVE NEITHER: What about anchor babies like the young Turk killed by Israeli troops on the floatilla, here the kid was born in USA, moved to Turkey at 2 years old, in a Madrassa at 5, and by 19 he is trained for Jihad, there are many more anchor baby cells in USA, some come from Mexico lots of anchor babies from South of the border. NAFTA screwed everyone, reason for immigration problems from Mexico. Student visas from Saudi created 911, think about it. Thousands of students free education from Saudi, Lybia, Morocco, all USA enemies educated their children in the USA, look at Chinese foreign students-spies. This conversation borders on useless. He is a phoney immigrant, looks walks talks politically correct.No, real JEW loves law enforcement, unless in Israel even then not. Haiti 15000 troops instead of 15000 doctors and nurses, even NOW nothing to be proud of, great liar, HAITI, USA messed up Haiti exiled an elected peoples president, Twice under Clinton watch as pres. 35000 rapes and 8000 deaths. now cholera brought by UN troops more population control methods. Yes let a disease cull the population therefore easier to control. Haiti earth quake first two countries providing aid was CHINA and Israel, not USA. Runny nose american soldiers drug addicts sent to Haiti instead of MEDICAL PERSONEL: ALejondro gov´t yes man, what a disappointment. Thank you Foratv.
