"If you go back into history, that's what the founding fathers of this country did. Who can tell me that the Pilgrims who came to this country to build this country, who stayed here to work, who can prove to me that they got a visa, that they went the "legal" way?"
An astute and conscientious reporter would have reminded the loudmouthed Pulido that (a) at the time the Pilgrims set foot on this continent in 1620 no organized government existed, which made it pretty difficult for the new arrivals to be here "illegally," and (b) the last time I looked, the Mayflower's passenger list did not include George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, etc. It is bad enough that far too many of our own citizens don't know their own country's history and that we must endure hypocrites like El Presidente Bush wearing the American flag pinned to their lapels, now we have to put up with the Reconquista riff-raff telling us that illegal aliens are cut from the same cloth as those whose genius gave us the world's greatest democracy based on the rule of law?
