Latest / Sid & Friends In The Morning / Jose Santamaria | Spanish Banker on His Home Being Invaded by Illegal Immigrants
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: My good friend Jose Santa Maria, a good friend, a
- 0:04Speaker 1: native of Spain, worked for the banks in Spain and
- 0:09Speaker 1: his home originally in Spain and lives in New York.
- 0:12Speaker 1: He's an investment banker. Well, Jose, how do you feel
- 0:17Speaker 1: about your country, your homeland being invaded?
- 0:22Speaker 2: John and devastated. The numbers we talked about yesterday forty
- 0:27Speaker 2: thousand keep on growing. We're talking sixty thousand people going
- 0:31Speaker 2: into the country. It's terrible. They got some dress yesterday,
- 0:36Speaker 2: but today they need to eat, they need to get dressed.
- 0:39Speaker 2: So we're seeing already assaults into the supermarkets, into the shops.
- 0:44Speaker 2: It's terrible. It's thematic.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Now they're breaking into people's homes too. I heard that,
- 0:48Speaker 1: and you know they're stealing cars. What are they doing?
- 0:52Speaker 2: Well, they meet housing, they need to sleep, some words,
- 0:55Speaker 2: sixty thousand people and they just need to get along
- 0:59Speaker 2: with their lives wherever they are in the country. So
- 1:02Speaker 2: there are now, obviously with no money and no support
- 1:05Speaker 2: from anyone, they're starting to commit crimes. It's a very
- 1:08Speaker 2: dramatic situation. Spain has handled immigration very well. There's millions
- 1:13Speaker 2: of Equatorials, Venezuela and Argentinians be to from everywhere, but
- 1:18Speaker 2: in these numbers and undocumented is a real crisis.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Hey, is anybody protecting if I had a home in
- 1:25Speaker 1: Spain in that area, how do I protect my home?
- 1:29Speaker 1: Is there? Is there a police department, is there a military?
- 1:32Speaker 1: Is there anything?
- 1:33Speaker 2: Well? Remember the Socialist government allows for people that get
- 1:39Speaker 2: into an apartment or house to stay there, and the
- 1:43Speaker 2: additional process is very long. It's a year or maybe two.
- 1:46Speaker 2: So that is something that Spain needs to improve right now.
- 1:50Speaker 2: If you get someone to walk into your house and
- 1:52Speaker 2: you're not there, you're not going to get them out
- 1:55Speaker 2: external Wow.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is a real problem.
- 1:58Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:59Speaker 3: The New York Post Act actually just reported onto this
- 2:02Speaker 3: that not only are they overrunning the towns and so on,
- 2:05Speaker 3: but they're actually using the streets as open toilets and
- 2:10Speaker 3: they're bathing in the fountains. The beautiful fountains of Spain
- 2:14Speaker 3: are now being used as bath as baths and showers.
- 2:19Speaker 2: I want to remind you of the World Health Organization
- 2:22Speaker 2: when you look at the health conditions of these countries. Unfortunately,
- 2:28Speaker 2: Northern Africa is one or two, not just below, which
- 2:31Speaker 2: basically means people come on average with more HIV more
- 2:36Speaker 2: pure closes more hepatitis. That's a problem.
- 2:42Speaker 1: It's like, I mean, nobody has checked these people coming
- 2:45Speaker 1: in for if they have diseases. Nobody has checked them
- 2:48Speaker 1: for anything, if they're out of prison, et cetera. I mean,
- 2:52Speaker 1: in the United States when we had Ellis Island, we
- 2:55Speaker 1: have checks and balances. You know, you have to pass
- 2:57Speaker 1: the Elis Island test to make sure you come in.
- 3:02Speaker 1: I mean, ose, this is a mess.
- 3:05Speaker 2: It is a mess, and I want to emphasize how
- 3:09Speaker 2: important it is to prioritize the security agenda. To me,
- 3:14Speaker 2: there's a clear triangle of security which should have been
- 3:18Speaker 2: coordination between Spain, Israel and Morocco. That's a big triangle
- 3:22Speaker 2: that requires very professional security and that is not happening
- 3:28Speaker 2: unfortunately with this a Spanish government.
- 3:30Speaker 3: But you have a real big problem because it's actually
- 3:33Speaker 3: your government that created this problem. It's interesting that they're
- 3:38Speaker 3: now looking for say foreign countries or more foreign countries
- 3:42Speaker 3: are involved in trying to deal with this overrunning of
- 3:46Speaker 3: SUTA as opposed to your own government itself. What are
- 3:51Speaker 3: they waiting for?
- 3:53Speaker 2: Well, remember how these prime minister won the presidency of
- 3:58Speaker 2: the Socialist Party and he won also the presidency of
- 4:03Speaker 2: the country. It was not because the majority of people
- 4:06Speaker 2: voted him. It was because of all the minorities with
- 4:10Speaker 2: their conflicts of interest, I mean the Catalans on one side,
- 4:14Speaker 2: the beasts on the other, all the separaties, people that
- 4:17Speaker 2: have a vested interest in accomplishing their personal goals. They
- 4:22Speaker 2: voted for him to become prime minister. He never had
- 4:25Speaker 2: the majority of the Spaniers Spain, and most of these
- 4:28Speaker 2: countries are actually leaning towards the conservative side. It is
- 4:32Speaker 2: always in a conservative country. But this prime minister has
- 4:37Speaker 2: made decisions on his own that don't represent at all
- 4:41Speaker 2: the Spaniards.
- 4:41Speaker 3: And maybe it doesn't represent the Spaniards, but unfortunately the
- 4:45Speaker 3: Spaniards now have to live with this repercussion.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Well. Not only that he is trying to naturalize millions
- 4:53Speaker 2: of people on the on the promise and on the
- 4:57Speaker 2: on the commitment that they would't vote for him, because
- 4:59Speaker 2: he that have the votes from people in Spain, so
- 5:02Speaker 2: he's trying to get all these migrants to basically vote
- 5:06Speaker 2: for him as soon as possible. Europe has now finally
- 5:10Speaker 2: realized and they're even discussed in closing the Shanngen space
- 5:14Speaker 2: to Spain, so that at least they can limit and
- 5:18Speaker 2: strict this movement which is absolutely out of control.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Well, well, what a mess this is. Well, Jose, thank
- 5:25Speaker 1: you so much for keeping us informed. Anything else you
- 5:27Speaker 1: want to tell the American people.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Spain is a good country, that the politicians are terrible.
- 5:35Speaker 2: So it's important to be what we were.
- 5:38Speaker 1: What percentage of Spain was a Christian country? What percentage
- 5:42Speaker 1: of Spain is now a Christian country? And what else
- 5:46Speaker 1: is it?
- 5:48Speaker 2: Spain is mostly Christian Catholic as a matter of fact,
- 5:51Speaker 2: it's probably about the seventies seventy five percent. It's been
- 5:56Speaker 2: very open minded. But the problem is these young people
- 6:02Speaker 2: time with ideas and time with objectives, which are creating
- 6:07Speaker 2: an amount of tension similar to the one that you see,
- 6:11Speaker 2: for example in South France or in the du K
- 6:15Speaker 2: where they haven't been able to absorb this migration. They
- 6:19Speaker 2: never naturalize people by doing the right due diligence and
- 6:23Speaker 2: the investigations. They never did that. So right now Spain
- 6:27Speaker 2: has a massive amount of people which are going to
- 6:29Speaker 2: be very upset. Of course, they need to use toilets,
- 6:31Speaker 2: they need to eat, they need to drink. That's terrible.
- 6:34Speaker 2: There's no way to handle this well.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Thank you, Santa Maria, thank you for coming on, keep
- 6:40Speaker 1: us informed, keep on New York as all Americans informed,
- 6:44Speaker 1: and we'll catch up with you again.
