#5: The Fictional Character

I really enjoyed watching the video online called “Rachel Maddow Interviews Lalo Alcaraz On His Satirical Movement: Self-Deportation (VIDEO)”.  The video talked about a fictional character called Daniel D. Portato who wanted people to relocate themselves to the country of origin where they came from.  The character was made up by a man called Lalo Alcaraz back in the year 1994 when the state of California was going thru a proposition called 187.  Proposition 187 was a wonderful idea that was passed to yank illegal people here in the United States from schooling, hospital care, and any type of government assistance programs in California.  It was very unfortunate that The Supreme Court of California dropped it from going in to law.  It would have helped clear out a bunch of illegal people that did not belong here.  Rachel Maddow was the individual who was on the show, and she was the one who did the interview with Mr. Alcaraz stating that people in the government took the characters meaning serious even though it was a complete joke.  Even though the fictional character Portato was supposed to be a joke, I so wish the character was taken serious due to the number of foreign people that do not belong here.  A lot of these people get aid from the government such as housing, medical, and food.  These people do not deserve this because they are not trying to be here the legal way.  The individuals that have children here who were born in this country should be taken back to their country, but the children would be able to stay here because they are citizens, not the illegal parents.  If the parents wanted to come back the legal way, then they would be granted that right.  Another possible idea for illegal people is a euthanizing concept to deter them from coming to this country.  I hate illegal people.
