Show INTERVIEW: Louis Amador Page 20 GT: do they have one, or their representatives or who speaks for them? LA: FO: LA: Well, I figure this way, we would say to start with and that's between you and I and I keep it up . to date. When I come into a foreign country I don't expect to have the rights of the natives, see remember, I'm just a what, a, I call a well in other words, I just. Alien? Alien in this country, all right and for that reason, I'm not supposed to vote, it isn't right for me to vote, I'm going to lie. Well, now they pass a law, I can hunt or fish but in my days I wasn ' t even able to hunt or fish or boat. When I live under those conditions but as a Mexican I have a representative which was the Mexican consul, if anything is wrong and not right and I thought I was in my rights I go and see him. But if I was told that I was wrong, I wouldn't even go look him because I only go and make things worse than what it was. And I say in this country I haven't been one day in jail, knock on the wood, that's my head. In my own country I never remember I ever been in jail, I know if I go to jail I probably feel bad but well it's one of those thing. You don't find very many in no matter, one time or other you go to jail for minor cases or something |
