It appears that you tube is censoring all comments to this video!

[ForaTv]

Are you having problems posting comments?

[trailwaus]

YES! My original comment took 20 hours to post...?

[ForaTv]

Don't know what's up...may have been a tech issue on YouTube's end. As long as you keep it reasonably clean, we don't censor comments for content.

Jorge Bustamante is so idiot.

Recently, he blamed JAPAN for Calderon Family and said JAPAN has racial discrimination.

How dare he say such a thing?

He advocates for illegal immigrants !!

Noriko Caldelon's parents entered Japan illegally on forged passports. However, the government of Japan recognized that Noriko should not be blamed for the sins of her parents.Japan has said the parents will be allowed back into Japan to visit Noriko. This is unbelievable.

IS JAPAN racist ???

they may be next door,all the reason for a bigger fence! every hospital in ca was closed do to the illegal aliens from the south. isn't it time that country pays for these bills? best thing would be cut all ties with that country!unless you like the drugs and cartels.

Mexico's people aren't aliens, they're our next-door neighbors. Google "Megamerge Dissolution Solution" to read how the two countries have a great future together, sans the corrupt Mexican govt., the real problemo.

Jorge Bustamante recently compared the United States dealings with illegal immigration, with the Nazi's treatment of Jews during the holocaust.

This is not an international issue. This is an issue of the laws of the United States being upheld. There is an immigration process, and it is to be followed. If it is not followed it is a breach of law and we as a nation have a right and an obligation to our citizens to upfold the law. Without law, there is chaos.

We all know how cowboys and indians turned out, the next round will be cowboys and illegal mestizo invaders! If the abuse and decimation of invading illegal(immigrants) is good enough for the mexican govt,(those people with a deeper history and perspective ) it will be just right for us in the US!We have a history of doing it well.

[Truelies69]

Let's put it this way, Pacho, help us keep your people out of the US, or we will unilaterally solve the problem for you. This is a war, and if you ain't helping us, then you are part of the problem!!!

[bajarat]

If Mexicans take over what will we have? Another chicken feces encrusted, corruption and crime-bloated barnyard like Mexico! Too funny! Evolve, will you.
