LOS ANGELES — Francisco Rivera is a legal immigrant who delivered an impassioned speech to the Huntington Park City Council on Monday night, joining other residents in protest against their decision to appoint two illegal aliens to city commissions.
Rivera, who is originally from Jalisco, Mexico, told Breitbart News that he is opposed to honoring those who have broken the laws of the country. “You shouldn’t get special treatment or get rewarded if you break federal laws by coming illegally,” he said in an interview.
I can honestly tell you guys, I’ve been here for 35 years, and I’ve looked at you straight in the eyes, every single meeting. I never even knew these guys existed ’til now! I’ve never seen them in my life! All of a sudden they’re gonna get rewarded by breaking federal laws, ladies and gentlemen?
And if I’m not mistaken, I ask myself–doesn’t the City of Huntington Park receive federal money? But yet, you break federal laws! Or, you reward people that break federal laws.
We are a country, yes. But in this country we have laws and rules and regulations that need to be followed. How can we become—how can we be a great nation when we reward people that come to this country illegally?
I don’t have anything against immigrants. But there’s a difference between “immigrant” and “illegal immigrant.”
(Cheers)

I’ve been waiting for this for about twenty five years.
One voice out of about fifteen million is nothing to write home about, but it’s a start I guess.
Rest of article….Nobody talks about how legals hate illegals…if you know anyone here legally just ask them….
(Cheers, applause)
I mean, even a two-year-old—You know, it’s kind of funny how, I can honestly tell you, If I’m hungry and if I’m starving and if I break into somebody’s house, illegally, I’m gonna go to jail. But if I go and (knocks) knock on somebody’s door and say, “Ma’am, I’m really hungry. Can you do me a favor? Could you please make me a sandwich?” That’s the proper way to ask for something.
You shouldn’t get rewarded by breaking a law and say, “Oh, it’s because I was hungry.” “Oh, OK—so, hey, let’s all go to Huntington Park! Let’s all break doors open there, because they won’t do anything! In fact, they’ll probably reward you [for] breaking federal law.”
And by that, I’m thoroughly disgusted. And it’s very very sad, to be honest with you. And I hope that you guys take that under consideration. That, you know–not every immigrant that is here, is here illegally. And that’s the difference. Theres a right way to do things, and a wrong way. People shouldn’t get rewarded by doing the wrong thing. It’s not fair for guys like me. And it’s not fair for other people as well.
Thank you very much.
(Cheers, applause)
In an interview with Breitbart News Tuesday morning, Rivera reiterated:
You want to become part of this great nation–that’s fine, but you have to come through the right channels and background check. That’s what I see these people are not doing.
I went through all the process. I really appreciate this country and this great nation. A lot of these people, these teenagers, don’t appreciate it.
I have seen with my own very eyes how this country has gone down the drain when these people come into a community. I have heard guys say, “I don’t care about this country.”
I literally remember this one guy, he must have been about 19 years old, bald, holding a Mexican flag. He looked at the sheriff and he literally told the guy, “F- the USA.” I thought, And you want to be a part of this country? Look at what you’re doing, the way you act.”
People don’t have passion and love for this country, but when they are about to be deported they say, “Please don’t deport me!”
They only want to be a part of this nation when they’re threatened with being deported.
I see all the graffiti, the trash–they don’t take any pride in this country, gangs, drugs. If you come to this great nation and work and go to school and obey the laws, but if you’re here to cause problems, go somewhere else. People need to stop getting the handouts. It’s not right in this or any other country.
That’s why I go out for the past seven years and clean up my community. A lot of people think I do it for the city. In reality, I do it as a volunteer. I don’t like to see all this garbage. I’m trying to make a positive image for our community. When you are here and obey the laws, you take pride in your community. When someone comes to this country illegally, they don’t have the same pride in it.
People need to understand that not every immigrant supports immigration reform and I do not approve of it. You don’t cut in front of people in line and expect not to pay the consequences. That’s why we have rules and laws, not just in this country, but many countries. You need to get in line…
I do not approve of immigration reform. A lot of immigrants agree with me. I’ve talked to a lot of legal immigrants and they say, “I’m sorry, I do not approve of it,” and they get called traitors. I obey the laws and rules of this country.
PING
This guy gets it.
Some people DO assimilate.
Many Mexicans really do leave because the corruption of Mexico nauseates them. They seek due process and honesty which America used to be famous for.
But it can’t happen if we let in a sea of lawbreakers who neither understand nor care about such things.
Illegal immigration from a failed society will be the death of America, and the world will suffer greatly for it.
Obviously this guy, Francisco Rivera, is a xenophobic racist who hates Hispanics. Francisco? Rivera? oh wait
He needs to make a commercial for Trump.
So why don’t more speak up?
Never mind, I know. Crab-pot syndrome. Their neighbors will take them out. Just like another minority group I could mention.
A-yup
U Beez da traitor if you act Blanco
“Nobody talks about how legals hate illegals…”
Nobody talks about the real criminals behind all of this.
The criminal scum that hire the wetbacks in the first place.
They are the ones that need to be prosecuted, the ones
that need to go to jail and have everything they own
confiscated as ill gotten gains. Anyone who’s family member
that was killed by a wetback should be able to sue the
wetbacks employer. These employers that have facilitated
the invasion of America by these criminal aliens should
be prosecuted as traitors.
The MSM hates honest men like Francisco Rivera ...
The MSM hate Francisco Rivera because he doesn’t fit the elite dream of a dependent pity party democrat seeking revenge for being ‘dissed’...
Francisco Rivera would be welcomed in every community ... he’s ‘one of us’... an American. Maybe someday he’ll become a Republican...
Liberal elites will always hate him. It’s why the New York Times and Washington Post will NEVER cover this story. They want hispanics to become the ‘new blacks’...
The Breitbart video would not play so I found this meeting on you tube. There are several speakers before him and many of the speakers mentioned Trump more than once.
Some may recall that Huntington Park is the city council that appointed two illegal aliens to the council.
The speaker right after Francisco Rivera calls for a recall of the mayor as well as the rest of the council.

From under the video:
Wow, this is probably most the shocking I thing I have ever seen when someone has walked to the podium. Please make this into a headline story. The foolish mainstream media was there and this story just fell into their lap and they are not going to do anything with it.
I waited 30 years for this to happen in CA......then I left California.
This story was on the CBS evening news
