Stallone Defends Mexicans, Opposes Border Fence
Sylvester Stallone used a promotional trip to Mexico yesterday to blast plans to build a fence along the country’s U.S. border to keep illegal aliens out. Stallone, who visited Mexico City to promote his new film Rocky Balboa, told fans he has always been a fan of the Mexican work ethic.
He even pays tribute to immigrants in his sixth Rocky film – in one scene, his character (Balboa) defends his restaurant’s immigrant cooks and waiters against slanderous comments.
He told his Mexican fans, “I support Mexicans who work in my country.” He went on to criticize US plans to keep Latinos out of America by erecting a 700-mile fence along the border, calling the idea “crazy” and “ridiculous.”

I think that it’s reasonable to have a fence because:
a. People work hard legally to get to America, why can’t those Spanish follow suit?
b. It’s not like we don’t want them, they’re just hogging up the space.
c. It’s called “equality.” We’d build a wall against Europe, but the ocean had already done that.

it costs Americans $3.50 per $1.00 that is paid to an illegal alien from benefits, free college education for children, health insurance, etc.
