PYONGYANG, North Korea - North Korea on Sunday presented to the media an American man who says he illegally crossed into the country but has not been put into custody and is seeking asylum in Venezuela.

Arturo Pierre Martinez, 29, of El Paso, Texas, said he entered North Korea by crossing the river border with China. Details of how and when he got into the country were not immediately clear.

In his comments to reporters, Martinez strongly criticized the U.S. for alleged human rights violations.

"The illegal war carried out against the nation of Iraq serves as a perfect example of how the U.S. government acts like a Mafia enterprise by criminally plundering entire nations of their resources, strategic reserves and economies ... without a code of ethics," he said, according to USA Today.

Sounds like a Latin American. I always get a kick out of calling these people Americans. Lately they are usually named Abdul Bul Bul al Fazaki. Americans Yeah! /s/

Am I supposed to be upset or insulted because Martinez doesn't like America? He's not alone. There are plenty of others who denounce America; yet, they still live here.

I feel this way: if you don't like America, you can leave at anytime. Go to North Korea, Venezuela or even Cuba if you think life is better there. I guarantee after a few days, weeks or months of food shortages, governmental micromanagement of every aspect of your life and loss of basic freedoms, you'll get begging to come home. Only problem is you might not be allowed to leave.

But frankly, my dear, I don't give a damm what you do or where you go.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a dog gone minute!

Let me get this right...

We have a nutbar Latin-O from Texas who traveled to China in order to illegally cross into NorKland to try and find an asylum in Venezuela in order to criticize the American federal government?!?!?!

He’s definitely a DemoRAT, no doubt about that.

Seeking asylum in Venezuela via North Korea? Has he never seen a map or a globe?

Apparently, sneaking into NK is the latest craze. He goes from Texas to NK in hopes of getting asylum in Venezuela. Color me confused.

Clearly this guy wants to be Elizabeth Warren’s VP running mate in 2016.

He is without a doubt a shining example of a Progressive loon...

Texan? I bet he’s really a Mexican who is ILLEGALLY in the the US and with us Tea Party members fighting against AMNESTY, he decided to leave for a friendlier nation. He felt like us TP ‘racists’ were targeting blacks and illegals.
