Downtown Houston, Texas, May 1, 2006. Jim Moore was reporting for KHOU-TV, a Houston TV station working an interview with an illegal immigrant. The following is a transcript of that interview.
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?
