[QUOTE]The hosts of Fox & Friends on Wednesday [B]were shocked to learn that emergency responders were “forced” to serve non-English speakers in life-threatening situations[/B] even if the callers were suspected of entering the country illegally.
[B]“They stumbled across the border illegally and now they need your help!”[/B] Fox News host Steve Doocy complained, pointing to a 911 call in Brooks County, Texas where a man who could only speak Spanish asked for a helicopter rescue because his cousin was “turning purple.”
“A small Texas town forced to answer 911 from stranded illegals in Spanish!” Doocy exclaimed.
[B]“Not only are they understaffed and lacking resources, now they’ve got to deal with illegal immigrants who have no business being here,”[/B] co-host Brian Kilmeade opined.
Brooks County Chief Deputy Urbino “Benny” Martinez pointed out to Kilmeade that his department had a duty to respond to all 911 calls.
“So, those calls you have to respond to, even though for the most part when you get there, you realize, they’re not an American citizen?” the Fox News host pressed.
“That’s correct, but they’re on U.S. soil, and due process comes into play, and that’s the way we’re taking them as,” Martinez explained.
The chief deputy added that he wanted Republicans and Democrats to drop partisan ideology and have a “sincere dialog” because his department was running out of funds.[/QUOTE]
Republicans know the source of the healthcare problem. So do tourists get 9-11 support?
[QUOTE=Fort83;45481620]Like you mentioned OP, by that logic tourists shouldn't get emergency support if they aren't American citizens.
Fox News is full of idiots.[/QUOTE]
yes but tourists aren't brown
Well tourists aren't illegal like the ones in the OP though.

Mostly Fox & Friends though.
[QUOTE=Noss;45481630]yes but tourists aren't brown[/QUOTE]
Jesus wasn't brown either btw.
its 9-1-fucking-1
they are meant to save lives aren't they
who gives a shit what they are or how they got here in the first place, the bottom line is that people are DYING
i wouldn't want to leave anyone to die if i have the chance to at least TRY to help
The last thing you want to hear on the other end of the phone when you call 911 is "Papers, please."
But it's the endgame of what these idiots are asking for.
I saw "9-11" in the title and thought, "Why are they talking about illegal immigrants that were helped 13 years ago."
"Where's the eleven button on my phone?!"
Yeah I've never seen anyone call the emergency number 9-11, it's pretty much always pronounced nine one one
911 is for anyone and everyone to use. I dont care what the color of your skin is, where you came from, income, or residency status. If you need help. You will get help.

Negative two. Gotcha.

Man what do you know Code3Response?
Aren't folks that deal with 9-11 calls under oath of some sort, sorta like the Hippocratic Oath?
So 911 operators should...let non-English speakers die? Is that what they're getting at?
Fox is retarded in general, but Fox and Friends literally don't have 100 IQ points between them.

oh shit man... I guess I never had an experience with 9-11. Is that the new white-only paid subscription model of 911?
Fucking xenophobic assholes. They talk about how illegal immigrants are ruining America when really its their ignorance that pulls our country down.
Don't you people realize that if we could only refuse to respond to 911 calls from illegals that the budget of this country can finally be balanced? Cities are going bankrupt because of 911 calls for Christ's sake!
And yet every year we have a holiday celebrating the Native Americans helping the pilgrims when they immigrated to North America.

Funny thing though is America isn't "Set in stone" as an English speaking nation

That won't happen, you'll be in the same boat as the rest of us, screwed over by the political pursuits of leaders who don't give a fuck.

[quote="Steve Doocy"]A small Texas town forced to answer 911 from stranded illegals in Spanish![/quote]
Seriously? The fact that they had to answer in Spanish, which is almost certainly the second-most spoken language in the US, and the official language of pretty much the entire [I]continent[/I] that borders it?
[quote="Wikipedia"][B]Recognised regional languages[/B]
English
[B]Spanish[/B]
Hawaiian
Samoan
Chamorro
Carolinian[/quote]
I like how the fact that they answered in Spanish means they know Spanish anyway so it couldn't have even been that huge of an issue
I also like how the dude obviously only showed up to plead for more money when conservatives are more likely to be the ones trying to give him less

1. The pilgrims were colonists, not immigrants, who settled in an area which the English had already been surveying and colonizing for years.
2. The Wampanog Indians were not helping them out of the kindness of their hearts. They had been just prior attacked and brutally ravaged by the Mi'kmaqs and were having to deal with the Pequot peoples encroaching on their territory. They saw the Europeans first and foremost as a means to destroying these enemies of theirs, and had little interest or reason to help them beyond gaining their trust enough to make an alliance for their own defense.
Apologies for rambling; it just really irks me when people claim this stuff, and they're doing it quite frequently these days.

I did read somewhere that Fox and Friends is disliked by a lot of the more serious reporters and anchors
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses, yearning to breath free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.
Either remove the inscription from the Statue of Liberty, or shut the fuck up.
