Eva Longoria Supports Immigrants
La Housewife Desesperada, Eva Longoria, is backing up the immigrant protest in The United States with very strong statements about the Latin community, history of immigrants, and the intentions of Latinos in the US.
She says, “It happened before in the Thirties where we had a huge deportation of Mexicans due to a racist policy, and it was horrible. But Mexicans and in particular Latinos in general contribute an enormous amount to this country, and I think it’s insulting to threaten deportation. The most honourable thing you can do with your life is support your family, and that’s what most of these people are doing. They leave their countries to come here and make three bucks an hour, and still send money home. I wouldn’t suggest I have the answer, but I’m sure there’s a set of opportunities we could offer. Because, after all, we are a land of immigrants. None of us would be here if our ancestors didn’t get a chance at one time or another.”
Good going Eva. She is obviously very connected to her Latin roots and she comes off as an intelligent and educated individual. Hopefully, we get to see this side of her more often.
