Joad Cressbeckler: Immigrants Who Survive Arizona Desert Deserve Citizenship
On The Cressbeckler Stance, Joad says any Mexican who crosses the scorching-hot desert on foot has proved himself worthy of U.S. citizenship.
The tail end of my sit and talk
without talking about the best way
to bring an ox head over
to Joad's web
for all exclusive continents
and what have you.
Got all kinds of wares
a sellin' too.
You get your Congress T-shirt
thereabouts.
Now I've been thinking on it,
about all them Mexican Spaniards
being caught dead in the
American desert,
and it seems fellows out there
seeking fortune by husslin'
cross the dry land with nothing to
feed on but gol'nippers and cactus root.
Got more American in them
than these gueen boys in Congress.
Now, Joad's got Roberto Chaves
sitting on the screen.
He's running a sports system
what'll help these poncho walkers
and I salute him. -Thank you, Joad
I appreciate you taking up this issue.
Because of our faulty policies
immigrants are dying every day.
Berto, if a man ain't cook crisp
on a hell fire desert
ain't he ought to be left on his own?
-Well, right, Joad.
Immigrants are desperate
for a better way of life,
and will do whatever it takes.
-We need the strongest of these crude
backward browns to keep us all alive.
I see the ones who can swim
the Rio Grande too.
'Berto, you swim that border river
to get here, ain't you?
Joad, not all Mexicans came here
by swimming the Rio Grande.
No, no, no, I got sympathy. I
crossed Duron lake in a barrel myself
using hands as paddles. Lived off the
Carp, what jumped at me.
Now, you swam that river or ain't you?
-No, Joad, actually I was born here.
What do you know about hard working,
never swam no river?
What kinda man are you, Berto, chiseler?
-No Joad, my parents
they were immigrants just like many
immigrants they deserved...
I say you ain't never knowed a man
'till you seen his teeth.
Show em your teeth.
Too many teeth rotting out
shows you're dishonest in the mind.
You've got strong manful teeth,
Berto, I apologize.
Close up.
Well, Joad, what America needs
is a common sense immigration policy.
Come on, stop sniffin' Mexican start
sniffin' for
cole rep thiving money barrels. -We
will never secure our borders
with a failed policy like we... -Now my
boregard can sniff the guilt out
on a man's hide. He'll start
barking like a buck skin any crime.
Come up here, bud. I'll pass this
old fellow on to you right now Berto.
Joad, what America needs is...
-You good hound.
Here you go. That's sweet. Yeah.
Tune in tomorrow morning
to Today Now!
We'll look back at Jim's week as a
polygamist. -Oh, it's going to be fun!
