I guess Fox going to have this reality show about the undocumented. When I first saw the L.A. Times television guide, I saw Frank Jorge who goes to SOS rallies and did the Minuteman border watch. He is one racist aggressive person. in Laguna Beach about last year he helped out a neonazi, Robert Floyd put a person down. Robert Floyd has assulted that person with a knife. There is alot more why i dislike this person. Now, he is on t.v. mocking the undocumented. What should i expect from Fox? I guess not a whole lot. Here's a letter Frank Jorge wrote to the Minuteman. and the head person who is doing this reality show is Morgan Spurlock who did supersize me. -jim <http://www.saveourstate.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=14346>http://www.saveourstate.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=14346 Letter From Frank Jorge <http://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/?page_id=1534>http://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/?page_id=1534 Esteemed patriotic Americans, As some of you may know I accepted and have finished working with the Fox Networks Thirty days producers on an episode in which I lived with illegal aliens for thirty days. Before I signed my contract i read it thoroughly and noticed that it actually says that they can defame me and say, or release embarrassing information about me. I took this to mean that they neither have to be truthful or ethical in the treatment of the person under contract .me. I spoke with my wife as to whether I should participate or not and I decided that I should do so for the sake of my country, taking into account that the production might mis-characterize me, defame me or twist facts. As a person who has himself produced and edited videos I know how much damage can be done. Anything taken out of context can in fact appear to represent a point of view completely foreign to the person making the statement. It was, and is, my viewpoint that even if the production twisted the facts, I would still be part of a documentary in which illegal aliens are shown for close to thirty days living in East Los Angeles California without any fear of being deported. The episode could well have been titled, Thirty Days Without Enforcement of Immigration Law. It is an inescapable fact that not only can illegal aliens exist in our country without immigration law being enforced but that they can demonstrate against American citizens, assault them, belittle them, and now .they can be seen on American Television participating in a documentary. All of this speaks volumes as to the status of our Federal, state and city governments, whose unwillingness to enforce immigration laws goes against the wishes of its legal citizens. Two producers for the show came to my home to show my wife and I the finished product. I was told that it still needed a little work but that the network executives liked it and that they had approved it. I really liked it, even the parts that made me look bad in a number of ways, and then came the last five or so minutes. In these last few minutes the editing crew had a field day putting together a sequence that to someone who is as sensitive as myself and my wife over this issue of illegal immigration appeared to twist things to make it appear as if i had changed my mind and am in fact in favor of the illegal immigration family of seven staying here and allowing more in. This travesty begins with the eighteen year old illegal alien girl, Armida, saying I think hes changing his mind. This is followed by another video clip where she asks me, are you still going to the borders? I then answer it would seem strange to do so now. You are not allowed at this point in time to hear the rest of what was said because they edited it out. Allow me to explain. I have been active both on our borders and also in our cities. I have not, however, knocked on politicians doors myself. My experience living for Thirty Days in East Los Angeles California caused a tremendous change in my perceptions of what I should be doing with the problem. I decided thatI need to work on the politicians personally in order to have them in one way or another enforce immigration laws or enact new ones that will make the four cities that are close to where I live uninhabitable to illegal aliens. This change in me was caused by living in a former USA city that is now a Mexican city to the point that as I wandered the streets I asked the illegals if this city reminded them of a Mexican city and they said yes, Guadalajara Mexico. Another shocker was when a following video clip shows me walking down the street saying, Why not be part of the process of bringing them here legally. What you dont get to hear was what preceded it or followed it .if this family of seven goes back to Mexico and applies for legal entry into the USA i promise to sponsor them why not be part of the process of bringing them here legally. What I had done is that I actually made that offer to them. If they accepted they would have had to leave. This of course means that seven Mexicans would have self deported and left the USA and applied for legal entry as they should have done years ago. They refused my offer since it meant that they would have had to get at the back of the legal immigration line and probably wait years before they could come here. I told the producers that they had purposefully twisted the story and they said that I had actually said those things and I replied that they had taken it out of context from the 300 hours of video that they had shot. After going back and forth for the longest time they refused to make any changes. I told them that they could keep it all as is but to allow me to add an audio file that would bring everything back in balance so that Americans might know that I had not changed my point of view. I was told that I had no control over the contents . as if I didnt know. I told the producer, Jonathon, that an army of lawyers and the contract that I had signed would not keep me from addressing this issue. Finally they said they would add in writing, at the end that I was still a Minuteman and that I was working to have our borders secured. I cannot tell you how much i prayed to have God intervene in this affair, that i feel is important because our people deserve the truth, not for my sake, but rather for the morale of our American people. On July twelfth at 1 PM I was invited to a press conference that was held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Pasadena California. A limousine had been sent to pick my wife and i at our modest home in Mojave CA. I sat on a panel with the illegal alien girl and three executives from Fox network and Morgan Spurlock who i met that very day. When the questions started coming from the reporters i told them of the deceit that had been put into play. How millions of Americans would be manipulated into believing something that wasnt true about one of their countrymen. How a fine production at the last moment took a twist so dreadful that its status as a documentary was challenged by the possibility that it had been morphed into a movie, without respect for truth at a time when our people deserve the truth more than ever. All reporters listened intently for the full hour of the conference and the producers showed extreme discomfort. Truth when spoken is powerful. I was given a DVD with the rough cut of the episode as were the reporters. When I was able to see this DVD at home it was completely different from what I was shown earlier. This 2ND rendition of the episode is in keeping with the truth. It is graceful and intellectually engaging. It is a masterpiece without peer. So there are two renditions of the product, one truthful throughout, another, still great and a must see, but in the last few minutes it takes a Hollywood flight from reality. Why then would they take a quality work and degrade it? Was it because ratings would be better? Why was the host, Morgan Spurlock referring to me on the video as an anti-immigrant Minuteman? If you look at the film you will see that even they know that I am an immigrant myself! The Film Crew Producer female, born USA with Colombian parents speaks Spanish, visits Colombia. Age 40. Asst Producer .female, born USA, Colombian parents age twenty six. Fluent in Spanish. Definite loyalty to illegals established. Co-coordinator female, age twenty seven, born in Peru, illegal alien who over stayed her visa. Definite loyalty to illegals established. Cameraman male, USA, believes in one world one people. Definite loyalty to illegals established. Sound man male,born USA, unknown loyalties. Asst Cameraman Mexican illegal alien. Definite loyalty to illegals established. During all the days that we filmed I frequently felt as if I were the only person who believed as I do. It is not an accident that the film took the turn that it did. I never failed to mention my anti-illegal immigration point of view everyday. The crew was aware that upon completing the filming I would fly to Crawford Texas to protest Bush for being soft on illegal aliens. They knew that i was the originator of the event and had paid for everything that we had purchased for it. They had been shown my website for the event. How could they possibly even dare to think that I had changed my mind? Not a chance! Change induced by bonding and isolation is par for the course with some of these reality shows. The problem in my case is that the change that occurred was very subtle, and of a different kind than the crew expected. While i did most definitely bond strongly with the Gonzalez family, i realized that i must work on my local politicians because time is short for my country. I feel that failing to get the type of change expected or desired, they fabricated one. If they wanted to know how I felt after the thirty day period all they had to do was ask they didnt have to. I told them time and time again, secure the borders with regular military troops, fine and imprison the employers of illegal aliens. Arrest illegal aliens in this country and put them to work building a wall on our border with Mexico. Start desert tent detainment centers like Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona has done. Deport all illegal aliens who do not self deport. Impeach Bush for being the traitor that he is and try him for treason. As always we are treated poorly by the media. Rather than run we must stand and fight until they yield to the truth and stop the propagation of lies. As for the illegal alien family, I can tell you that i grew to love them for their warmth and sincerity. It makes it that much more meaningful when you love some of these folks and you still say our laws must be enforced, in their presence. I did. I hope many of you can too. The word from those who have worked in Hollywood for years and whom i consulted with on this issue is that reality shows are not reality driven and that everybody in the industry knows it. The documentary is still excellent and will have an impact on the illegal immigration debate. Fox and Thirty days are to be commended for entering the debate with a beautiful and informative entry. I participated in this documentary in order to fight for the truth on behalf of all patriotic citizens, past present and future, who love, and will love,this glorious nation.
