"I live on two borders, I live on the Miami border and the Arizona border in spring training; the news is sad. They asked me the best thing I ever did. I said be an American citizen. there’s a lot of people lost their life to come here. When you risk your life or your families lives, it’s for a reason: To make a better living and come to work.

"The law or what they think, that’s their problem: the people you’re looking for are not the people who’re here illegally," Guillen went on. "I don’t see anybody leave their country and come to the United States just to come to New York to see the Statue of Liberty. No, they come here, get up at 4 a.m., work their tail off and be abused, underpaid, sometimes like 30 people in a little house. There are people dying because they want to come to America.

"When you’re illegal in this country, the last thing you want to do is get in trouble, because you’ll be deported and back where you don’t want to be. And I say this because I have people in that situation; you don’t want to drive fast, you don’t want to get a parking ticket, they abuse you about making less money because they don’t have the papers, you overwork because you have to."


"That’s the law, sure. I think that’s wrong. I don’t think any human being carries their birth certificate and passport with you," Guillen said. "That’s very wrong. I don’t carry my passport with me anywhere unless I go to another country. And I think that’s wrong. They have to be careful about that, because they can create a lot of problems.

"If they come to me in Arizona and ask me for my papers. I might say go yourself. Then we figure it out later. I think people should pull you over because you’re speeding or you’re a suspect of drugs or drinking and driving. They cannot stop you because you have black hair, or you look different. I don’t think that’s right."

"If that happens in Arizona, we are smart: We’re going to move to San Diego. If it happens in California, we’re going to go to Colorado. I don’t care what they do, we’re staying," Guillen said. "It’s easy going from Arizona to Nevada; you just drive. You know what’s tough? Coming from Guatemala to the U.S. That’s hard."

2. Actually

"If they come to me in Arizona and ask me for my papers. I might say go (beep)yourself...."

the NY Post has brackets on it so it doesn't appear on DU

Paul Newman, as it turns out, may have been wrong when he said "(Getting the truth in the New York Post has been as) difficult as finding a good hamburger in Albania."
