Welcome back to another episode of Slightly Offensive.
We're here at the DSA March for the caravan at the southern border and we are covering what it is that's going on and what it is that we're fighting for.
Excuse me, sir.
Do you mind if I ask you a little bit about what your sign says and what it is you're here to march for?
Alright Louise, so what is it particularly that we want to primarily accomplish here in this march?
unidentified
We want the people who are in the caravan to give them a chance to come to this country and find any type of economic help that they can because they're sacrificing their lives to come here.
One report from BBC was sort of suggesting, including NBC, that a lot of these were men who were not coming here for asylum but for economic rights.
Do you think that we should allow immigrants in for other reasons than asylum in this caravan or what should we do with those that are not seeking asylum or proven otherwise?
unidentified
Well I think they need to go through the due process, however that works.
From the due process, so in the caravan, if the courts basically show that they're not seeking asylum, what do we do?
unidentified
Oh, I think that these people, I feel like the people who are coming to the caravan are in a crisis and they really, and the people who are doing that, the due process, you know, the legal process to go there, they should really, I think should, whatever it is, should be inclusive for all.
And I think that these people should have more attention to them, to the people who are actually applying, because most people who apply tend to be middle class.
So I would say that these people who are coming are mostly like in property and they don't have that type of help to get a lawyer and try to apply to legally come here.
These people are really in a crisis trying to come here as a way to seek opportunity because that's the only thing they can do.
Alright, so basically, if you guys want to know, we might not get any interviews for the rest of the day because the speaker before us just announced that anybody who's here giving interviews is a fascist.
Now, what's interesting is, is in order to proclaim fascism, they've shut down all the press and the media at this event, which is a brilliant way to show that you're not a fascist.
And by the way, this is put on by the DSA, the Democratic Socialists of America.
So we all know what would happen if they got into power.
You would not be able to get interviews from anybody who disagrees with them because it might show what they actually believe.
That's what they're trying to prevent.
That's what we're here not just to do, but we're here to speak the truth.
Can I give you my phone so you can go back over there with that footage on my Instagram?
Do you have it?
Do you have a phone?
Do you have an extra phone?
Do you have a phone?
unidentified
Do you have a phone?
countries to brutally talking about it is definitely and like having the respect to talk to a person that is the complete opposite of you is also part of it But I think activisms like this is also effective too.
And I want to thank you very much for actually having a conversation, by the way, because most people won't talk because we are right-leaning, but I appreciate that.
Thank you.
unidentified
You lied to me.
What?
You're turning, you're twisting everybody's words around.
It was shocking to me that they talk about white Europeans coming over here 500 years ago and basically killing all of them and taking this country from them.
But then they want to let more people into this country who aren't legally here.
Which just seems kind of counterproductive to me.
You know what I mean?
Like, it doesn't make much sense that people came over, they didn't like that, but then they want to let more people in.
