I’m currently reading a book about ancient Athenian culture, and the Athenian Senate had a process whereby a citizen could be booted out of Athens, if that person did not adhere to or follow Athenian ideals and principles, essentially being un-Athenian.

America, love it or get kicked out!

Rick on September 16, 2009 at 11:52 am

If America is occupied why doesn’t she move back to Mexico. Maybe she could convince the drug cartels to be decent and loving. I am sure they would love her and protect her.
Amazing how she takes Yankee money isn’t it? I would not take the money of the occupier if I had somewher else to go.

cando on September 16, 2009 at 12:04 pm

It’s tough having to live with the pee-ons of this world when you’re of THE RACE, LA RAZA, right Eva?

She is born so superior. Yeah, right.

goldenmike4393 on September 16, 2009 at 12:05 pm

There must be some points to be had in Hollywood for radical chic nowadays. Raises the question: does Tony Parker, the Frenchman raking in tens of millions of gringo dollars, feel the same way about the country? Of course, I wouldn’t count on any of those airhead sports reporters to ask the question.

In any case, EL’s almost done. Getting too old. This must be a last ditch attempt to become a “serious” actress before the sag really sets in.

adam on September 16, 2009 at 12:12 pm

I saw the racism of the grossly untalented Longoria-Parker surface during the first year of “Housewives”, when she was a guest on Jimmy Kimmell; a racial joke about the storyline about the White teenage lawn cutter having an affair with her character,saying something to the effect of “it’s about time the Whites are the lawn workers and the Mexicans are in the mansions”. Plus her appearances on various Black and Hispanic “award” shows.

Phineas on September 16, 2009 at 12:32 pm

She’s as dumb as a post. I am Mexican and I loathe those who make my people look so foolish. Are these people, who have been so blessed and lauded by the US, really that stupid or simply overwhelmingly intellectually dishonest? Grrr!

Nora on September 16, 2009 at 12:33 pm

I still believe Reagan was the greatest president of the 20th century, but he did sign the Immigration Reform and Control Act in 1986 to make 3 million illegal aliens citizens of the U.S. I wholeheartedly disapproved of this, but why don’t these ingrate illegals mention that? At least he gave these poor illegals a chance at the American dream.

Just to make it extremely clear, I DO NOT SUPPORT AMNESTY. We should deport all illegals, including the ones that Reagan helped to become citizens.

Jarhead on September 16, 2009 at 1:20 pm

WELL SOUNDS LIKE SHES GOOD FOR LARAZA AND NOT GOOD FOR AMERICA.IF THESE PEOPLE THAT WAVE THE MEXICAN FLAG? SUPPORT LA RAZA?AND SO PROUD OF THEIR RACE WHY BRING IT TO U.S.A.?GO BACK TO MEXICO AND IMPROVE IT ACCOMPLISH THIS AT LEAST.DONT RAG ON A COUNTRY BUILT BY ALL RACES. JUST LOOK AT YOUR MEXICO PITIFUL RIGHT THINK ABOUT IT. A REAL AMERICAN>>>NOT A PRETENDER>>>>

garyrose on September 16, 2009 at 2:02 pm

Idiotic. No wonder so many hate mexicans in general. Fortunately not all of us identify ourselves with the hateful “la raza” stuff.

Luis from Mexico on September 16, 2009 at 2:22 pm

Why is it that according to people like Mrs. Longoria, America is always racist towards minorities in one way or another? Of course her solution will be that America won’t be racist any longer when minorities run America and the white Europeans that built it, won’t have any say on anything. Isn’t that really where it’s headed with these people. Afterall, when exactly is that blissfull state of equality reached? How is it to be measured, when people like Mrs. Longoria stop whining?

Bobby on September 16, 2009 at 3:09 pm

What Eva fails to mention (due to Chicanos keeping this quite)
is that Apaches HATED MEXICANS!
The Mexican government issued a bounties on Apache scalps.
Aren’t Mexicans sweet?
(Mexicans love to attack whites due to Indian deaths.)
Apaches thought Americans were stupid giving Mexico $15 million
for land that didn’t belong to them. (Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo)
Eva is full of it. She should move back to Mexico if she loves her nationality so much. We don’t need her here.

Geronimo hated Mexicans all his life because Mexican soldiers
murdered his entire family!
Read it here:
http://www.ibiblio.org/ebooks/Geronimo/GerStory.htm#p17

This is what Geronimo thought of Mexican men:
Geronimo (American Apache Indian)

“I think it must be true that something in the food they eat of the water they drink turns the marrow of Mexican men’s bones to jelly as soon as they become men. Captive Meixcan women fit very well into our tribe, as do children if taken young enough. The men do little except tremble with fear, and that is why it is better to kill than capture them”

Diane on September 16, 2009 at 3:37 pm

Hey Eva Parker, haven’t you been successful in America?

KansasGirl on September 16, 2009 at 4:29 pm

Jarhead,

It seems that Obama is acomplishing more in that field than you could even in your wildest dreams. Yesterday I read that Mexican emigration to the US is down 52%. Make your own rationalizations for that.

And the truck issue… gringos are really shameful protectionists when they find themselves in the losing end of the deal. Talk about two-faced hypocrats.

Luis from Mexico on September 16, 2009 at 4:44 pm

I am talking about the trucking deal. These trucks should have made legal many years ago and haven’t because of syndicates have blocked them invoking all sorts of falsehoods.

As I said, you gringos are often very hypocritical in these sorts of things. NAFTA is a deal that generates benefits for the three countries, but the US refuses to commit to some parts of it when they feel like it for the most inane (protectionist) reasons. This has nothing to do with inmigration. Just a bunch of pussies. Same for tuna fish or avocado.

So much for global commerce and capitalism.

As for Mexican Rocket Scientists, there was one (José M Hernández) aboard the latest space shuttle flight, so maybe you need to be better informed. Sadly, there is a huge brain exodus from Mexico to the US.

Luis from Mexico on September 16, 2009 at 5:21 pm

I am sure you are a fine example of a high-IQ and well educated american. The fact that you haven’t heard of Mexican rocket scientists, molecular biologists, nuclear physicists, chemical engineers or brain surgeons it’s because you surely aren’t one to move in these circles. Judging by your language and puerile attitudes, it looks you never went past high school. And a shitty one at that.

Of course mexican trucks meet US safety standards, where do you think we get them from? It’s just hypocritical that you advocate free commerce and then block it when you don’t like some parts of it. You either endorse free commerce or refuse it, but you can’t have it both ways without being an hypocrite.

This was just an example to show you that the US has its own faults, not to make a case for my own problems.

Hey I was here to bash Eva Longoria, remember? I am not the one to say Mexico is perfect. But the US has a lot of homework to do too, and instead you are the ones currently blaming everyone else, in this case illegals, for your own decadence. Very sad. Stop blaming Mexico for your own problems. If the US was so perfect, illegal inmigration wouldn’t exist.

Luis from Mexico on September 16, 2009 at 6:09 pm

I am an electromechanical engineer from a top mexican university, with a master degree on applied informatics. I run a local IT business in Guadalajara. I don’t have have to probe nothing to you.

I like to be informed on what happens in the world, and I particularly like Debbie’s blog because she likes to out corrupt, hypocrite or plain dumb US politicians, no matter what party or ideology and because she is for real, she really lives what she thinks and that inspires me.

I have no reason to defend or endorse illegal inmigrants except from whiny bigmouths like you who like feed their superiority complex by trashing what they deem inferior somehow. You love to let your big mouth loose about my country and yet you don’t know shit about it. I assure I know a load more about americans than you do about mexicans, starting from the language, history, politics, geography, etc.

Mexico or mexicans are very far from perfect, frustratingly so. I do my bit to fight against that, I do a lot of local politics and employ soime people. I don’t need some redneck bigot coming to tell me how stupid we are and how righteous they are. I know that there is stupidity, corruption and rightiousness on both sides. I admire many things about americans, but not the superiority complex. I could have gone to live to the US long ago (legally) and yet I didn’t. That is because I like Mexico more. That simple. There’s many good thinks about Mexico and it is not nearly a hellhole as you like to describe it in your ignorance.

Luis from Mexico on September 16, 2009 at 7:01 pm

Also,

FIY gringo is not derogatory at all and americans here use it all the time to refer to themselves.

I don’t justify illegal inmigration or make a case for it, I just try to explain more broadly of its origins or causes. And they lie on both sides of the fence. That’s all.

Luis from Mexico on September 16, 2009 at 7:29 pm

Now that Luis and Jarhead have both established their right to be called educated, can we move on to the issue. Illegal immigration is against existing U.S. Immigration Law, I paraphrase, Title 8, Section 1325 of the United States Immigration Law Code, It is illegal and punishable by law to house, transport, or in anyway facilitate the stay of a foreign national illegally in the U.S. CASE CLOSED. The only reason it is going on,THE ONLY REASON IT IS GOING ON, is because we have corrupt politicians who are bought and paid for by lobbyists and the Chambers of Commerce, etc. That doesn’t mean Immigration law is invalid, it only means these representatives should be jailed for failure to do their sworn duty in upholding U.S. law. ALL OTHER ISSUES ARE TOTALLY IRRELEVANT. SEPARATING FAMILIES, WHO WILL DO THE JOBS, RACISM, OR ANY OTHER PHONY EXCUSE FOR VIOLATING U.S. IMMIGRATION LAW.

Bobby on September 16, 2009 at 8:33 pm

What did Davy Crockett say when he saw 50,000 mexicans come over the ridge at the Alamo?

“Are we doing the landscaping today?”

ender on September 16, 2009 at 9:28 pm

Bobby,

Sorry about all that with Luis. It is just that he has posted in the past that illegal aliens invading our country is OK, that he has supported them staying here in the U.S. and that there is no way for us to get rid of them. If he says otherwise, he is a liar. As you can tell, I am totally against all of this illegal activity and support strong measures to cure this infestation of the U.S. by illegals.

I’ve been trying to come up with some good ideas on how to keep these illegals from coming into the U.S., and I would like to see others post their ideas. I still think putting up fences on both sides of the border about 500 yards apart and creating a no man’s land like on the border of the Koreas is a good idea. Also, signs would be posted in Spanish and English to let everyone know this area is not to be crossed. Just to make sure that no one does cross from Mexico, we land mine the no man’s land and strategically place motion sensitive automated machine guns. If they cross, they were warned.

Jarhead on September 16, 2009 at 9:29 pm

Jarhead, you are good to misrepresent my opinions. I never said that it is Ok for them to stay on the US illegally. On the other side, I did say that it is childish to expect to get rid of them just because you hate them or want to round them all and shoot them. Childish and idiotic too, is to extend your opinionated hatred to all mexicans.

For one reason or another, latino illegals have become a powerful force to reckon with in the US, and to solve the issue you will have to like at the different angles of illegal migration. Whether you like it or not.

I agree wholeheartedly with Bobby that a necessary first step is to start cracking down on corrupt inmigration and drug enforcement officials on the US. Thank you. Don’t expect mexicans to do your dirty (political) laundry.

Luis from Mexico on September 16, 2009 at 11:26 pm

It is so nice to know that hate filled, demented, misguided, selfish individuals with an unwarranted, excessive ego are pushing their propaganda rife with racism, ethnocentrism, and a disgust for the very nation, the US, which they actually thrive in, while the cultures and nations they champion are so backward and such utter failures.

William on September 17, 2009 at 6:04 am

Jarhead, you need some reading comprehension courses. Never I have said that I live in the US.

It’s you who started this discussion. Stick to it or leave as it is, but don’t justify yourself with the other readers by misrepresentings my words and opinions.

Luis from Mexico on September 17, 2009 at 10:47 am

Luis, you need the reading comprehension courses. If you couldn’t figure it out from what I wrote, I did not say you live in the U.S.

Jarhead on September 17, 2009 at 11:20 am

After living in California for years I was horrified at how many Anglos simply turned their heads to the plague of illegals. It really slapped me in my face when I worked at Soledad State prison(see Correctional Training Facility). Talk about blatant racism against whites. Worse was the schools out there for my son. In his first grade class he was one of only 3 white kids and was forced to sit quietly while the mexicans were given english lessons. Homework an inch thick in 1st grade and THEY don’t even belong here. A lot of Evas living in the “Golden” state.

Don’t let the Luis types get under your skin Jarhead.

Joe on September 17, 2009 at 12:38 pm

Joe – I am not letting him get under my skin, well, sort of. He just needs to be confronted about his ignoramus statements about illegals.

Jarhead on September 17, 2009 at 12:52 pm

What so utterly amazes me about many Americans, of all types, is how they allow themselves to somehow believe, that everyone in the world has the right to come to their nation whether they are doing it in a legal way or not. It makes me wonder if they even believe it is their nation. Weren’t they born here? Didn’t they pay taxes here? Aren’t many descendants of Americans who died in wars and in industrial accidents, and in other ways building up the nation?

The point I’m making is simple. Unless Americans develop a consciousness, that this is “their nation”, that they are a part of a great big country that is beautiful and not to be taken advantage of by any clownish politician, people here illegally, or any other agent that does this nation harm, then they don’t deserve this country and illegal aliens overwhelming it is a natural consequence of the laizze faire attitude of so many AMericans towards the very land that gives them their bread and life. No one can cry for people who don’t care about what happens to them or their family and friends because of their own laziness and unconcernedness for their own nation.

Bobby on September 17, 2009 at 4:06 pm

I meant to say in my last post aren’t they concerned about how theier descendants built up the nation and died in wars,etc.

Bobby on September 17, 2009 at 4:08 pm

I love the Brown people movement, they have this thing where they claim they built all of the world’s temples/pyramids and how they know the secret of the world, including the Mayan Calender and how far advance they once were.

This is nothing more than making a race of people feel good or invent a fake history to unite them. Kind of the black guys that wear a pendant of africa around their necks. Imagine if White Trash in america started to wear pendants of Europe around their neck and started weaving stories of how the Vikings flew to the moon and Barbarians and Saxons invented telephones 1000 years ago and also figured a way to send signals telepathically. They someone lost of their minds when they conquered.

Somebody take her fishing Christmas night.

dirtyleb on September 17, 2009 at 8:21 pm

It’s a new trend. Come to America, get rich and famous and then take a dump on the country and its citizens.

Bobby on September 17, 2009 at 9:01 pm

Amusing how I am labeled ignorant for not being a hateful bigot. Remember that I am on the same side or the discussion?

Luis from Mexico on September 18, 2009 at 2:01 pm

But why are people hateful bigots because they see Mrs. Longoria, as being a hateful bigot, Luis? For example her statement, about “occupied America”. Her statement that, “it’s about time Mexicans live in the mansion and Americans do the lawnwork.” That is plain hate and ignorance to boot. Do you know why it’s ignorance? Because their are obviously Mexicans who live in mansions in Mexico, and those who do lawn work. Or for example, there have always been Americans who did lawn work. One of my friends did it for about twenty houses. The Japanese were excellent gardners in the city I grew up in. Some of them did lawn work, when they were quite old. Yet, they never complained about it. Only some Mexicans seem to have this deep seated hatrerd, like Mrs. Longoria and others. For example, like the Professors paid for by Americans taxes that preach reconquista and fifth columnist crap in American universities. Luis, if you are indeed, and intelligent and reasonable person, can’t you see the insanity of this stuff? What would happen to Americans that lived and worked in Mexico praeaching this kind of crap against the Mexican government? Do you understand now, why so many Americans are down on Mexicans in general? If you don’t you are blind, perhaps willfully, of what is going on and had been going on for a long time. Luis, hardworking AMERICANS, OWE MEXICANS NOTHING, ABSOLUTEY NOTHING.

Bobby on September 18, 2009 at 3:38 pm

I lived in Mexico and they are the most corrupt, racist country I have ever lived in (and I have lived in many countries). They refuse to take care of their own people and want to take from the U.S. as much as they can and use the fake excuses of owning the U.S. (which they only did for all of 24 years – the least of everyone) and tell their children in Raza Studies (also known as Mexican-American Studies) that they were here for 40,000 years – NOT – this is a HUGE LIE. The American Indians were here for thousands of years. The Mex. indigenous (Mayans & Aztecs) were NEVER HERE – THEY FEARED THE APACHES. Some married with Yaqui border Indians but that was it. And when I lived in Mexico, their indigenous were not required to go to school so they could keep them down. The rich Mexicans use them for servants, to clean, cook, wash, etc. and treat them worse than dogs. Mexicans hate blacks but I could not believe how vile they treat their own indigenous, murdering them and stealing their land. But then Mexico is if not the worst (and they may very well be the worst) one of the top most corrupt countries in the world (what a thing to excel in!) (and they have murdered 11,000 of their own people in the last 3 years!). They come here with an “attitude” that we owe them something – we don’t owe them anything but they owe us big time and have stolen millions of our jobs and cost us trillions of dollars they steal from our hospitals, schools (our children are losing a good education because we pay $12 billion to pay for their kids’ education a year!!!), social services, etc. We should take Mexico to war and take that money back they have stolen from us IMHO! They are like the cuckoo who lays their egg in the sparrow’s nest, kills the sparrow’s babies and then expects the sparrows to feed and bring up their baby! They are an arrogant and irresponsible culture on the whole and they teach their children that everything is American’s fault (told to me by a friend of mine born and lived in Mexico for her first 22 yrs.). They hate the U.S. and are jealous of us because we know how to make a country work and they don’t have a clue. Everything is “la mordida” (the bribe – even getting one’s mail or having a court case, etc.), or nepotism (putting friends or family into high positions even though they have no experience) or lying, stealing or cheating. My friends born in Mexico tell me this is a way of life. It is unfortunate but true. People who flee a country like this if they were smart would want to learn from the U.S. but instead they want us to live the putrid life they do. It’s dumb! That is why even if G-d forbid they took over like they want to our entire nation, they will make it into the same hellhole and failure that Mexico is today!

This lady is out of her mind. She can get away with it because she has a blog and because her assertions are not vetted. If she had to pay for her irresponsibility she would not be making such statements. I challenge her to put up a $1000 and if she cannot prove her assertion that I am a communist she’ll have to pay me. If she can I’ll pay her. This is the kind of stupidity that wracked Nazi Germany.

Rodolfo Acuna on May 4, 2010 at 1:13 am

First of all, the clip IS available on YouTube and Eva did NOT say “so I can be educated and have a background in my activism in the Latino community.” It’s ONE MINUTE, starting at 6:37. Did you not bother to listen and accurately quote?

Second of all, I’ve read OCCUPIED AMERICA written by Dr. Acuna, a Korean War veteran nonetheless, and it is far from being Anti-American. Why is it that when history is told from an other than Euro-American perspective it’s “anti-American?”

As Dr. Acuna’s Chicano Studies students, Eva and I are not learning to hate America from within. What this book, this class, this Chicano Studies program has done is for once show how Mexican Americans contributed to the making of America and yes, it is pro-Latino. Nothing wrong with that.

If I were you, I’d get your $1000 out and ready to put in Dr. Acuna’s pocket.

A.A. Palacios Collins on May 4, 2010 at 2:57 am

I happen to be from the state that Eva Longoria was reared in.
She is close to her family and is as down to earth as
any other Texan. I am proud that she is wanting to give
back now that she has made a fortune and married a very
wealthy member of the Spurs. Texas is about helping your
neighbor…..it’s part of our cultura.

We speak Spanglish listen to Tejano music and we all eat tamales no matter what our heritage is. Leave Eva alone. I happen to have descended from Scottish people who moved to Texas when it was Mexico. I have no use for people who don’t get the concept that America is about all of us being proud of our heritages. It’s what makes us American. This is why we have a Statue of Liberty welcomeing immigrants not shooting the finger at them.

TXMelinda on May 13, 2010 at 7:49 pm

My family came through Ellis Island. Legally. I’m an MD, my sister is an MBA, two of my cousins are MDs (one of them is also a CPA), one is an investmant banker. I have a cousin in CA who is a junior in medical school, as well. I have a Cousin in Arizona who is a Doctor of Education. No one is on the dole right now.

That’s kind of the difference, eh?

Occam's Tool on July 29, 2011 at 5:17 pm

Q: Um, is America “occupied”?
A: Yes, by Europeans.

The statement, “Acuna [sic] hates America, and his book is a one-sided demonization of Americans throughout American history,” is self-deception, as affirmation of the social order is not a substitute for critical inquiry into history. If you had any support for your contention, you would have cited authority, like a competent scholar. Native Americans lived a genocide and were enslaved, the idyllic birth of capitalism. Galeano, Eduardo, “The Open Veins of Latin America,” see also Spicer, Herbert, “Cycles of Conquest.”
