Thirty Days Living With Illegal Aliens
http://www.theterryandersonshow.com/GUEST-INFO/Jorge-Frank-060723Show.html


Esteemed patriotic Americans,

As some of you may know I accepted and have finished working with the Fox Networks "Thirty Days" producers on an episode in which I lived with illegal aliens for thirty days.

Before I signed my contract, I read it thoroughly and noticed that it actually says that they can defame me and say, or release embarrassing information about me. I took this to mean that they neither have to be truthful or ethical in the treatment of the person under contract....me.

I spoke with my wife as to whether I should participate or not and I decided that I should do so for the sake of my country, taking into account that the production might mischaracterize me, defame me or twist facts. As a person who has himself produced and edited videos I know how much damage can be done. Anything taken out of context can in fact appear to represent a point of view completely foreign to the person making the statement


I found this as I was looking up information about this guy from last night's 30 days. Guess it didn't change him as much as I thought.

2. I wonder if the contract really said it had the right to defame him.
Sounds like maybe he's having something similar to "buyer's remorse." What a jerk.

:hi:

3. No, he was an asshole in the beginning
and stayed true to his character to the end. He never could see that only by a twist of fate that he got to this country legally. His father didn't have to fight for it, or even wait in line. He got out because he worked for an American.

And this guy wants this family to go back to Mexico, wait YEARS to get back to the states so he can sponsor them? What about the kids that were born here? And, where are they supposed to go? Move in with his brother?

Just another repub asshole, he got his and that's all he cares about.

5. Something he said in the restaurant that made me think...
he was stating that the Mexicans living here illegally should go back and fight a revolution to change the country. I wonder why hasn't he tried the same thing in Cuba? I don't see a lot of Cubans leaving Miami anytime soon.

4. Love this
I participated in this documentary in order to fight for the truth on behalf of all patriotic citizens, past present and future, who love, and will love,this glorious nation.


Apparently to be patriotic you have to believe exactly as he does. :eyes:
