He looks Latino, he should speak Spanish, but he speaks Spanish, sir.
And Spanish?
It's a question.
Oh, okay. The question is, sir, if you could spare a few minutes.
People are asking
who the people are, the people, the Latino community,
how much they pay you for each undocumented immigrant
that you already pray?
This is what people need to understand.
We are not bounty hunters.
We are federal agents who are doing our job.
Don't believe the news, they're lying to you.
saying that they pay you per person.
We are apprehending people who shouldn't be here,
who are criminals, and they tell that to people who aren't criminals.
That's true.
Okay, then one last question, sir.
No, no, hey, the person that they're working,
who don't have criminal records, who haven't done anything,
who simply don't have papers, they're not a problem.
You're not arresting people who don't have a criminal record.
That, that I can't tell you.
No, obviously the people who are here
illegally are here illegally, sir.
Yes, but you go around looking for people with records.
If we're looking for people — people who are going to work in the morning,
you don't have to worry.
That depends, sir.
That depends on who you're with.
Okay, hey, and you as a Latino, aren't you ashamed to arrest your own people?
Don't you feel ashamed as a law enforcement officer?
I'm not ashamed to enforce the law.
Ask that question better.
Okay, let's see, let's see.
Okay, thanks.
Okay, thank you.

Original transcript (Spanish)
Parece latino, tiene que hablar español, pero habla español, señor. Y español? Es una pregunta. Oh, ok. La pregunta es, señor, si pudiera unos minutos. La gente está preguntando
quién es la gente, la gente, la comunidad latina, que cuánto le pagan a ustedes por cada inmigrante indocumentado que usted ya reza? Esto es lo que tiene que entender la gente. Nosotros no somos cazarrecompensas.
Nosotros somos agentes federales que estamos haciendo nuestro trabajo. Eso no le crean las noticias que le están mintiendo, diciendo que lo pagan por persona. Nosotros estamos agarrando a la gente que no tiene que estar aquí, que son criminales y lo dicen a la gente que no es criminal.
Eso es cierto. Ok, entonces una última pregunta, señor. No, no, oye, la persona que están trabajando, que no tienen antecedentes penales, que no han hecho nada, que solamente no tienen papeles, ellos no tienen bronca.
Usted no están arrestando a personas que no tengan récord criminal. Eso, eso no le puedo decir. No, obviamente la gente que está aquí ilegalmente está aquí ilegalmente, señor. Sí, pero ustedes andan buscando personas con antecedentes.
Si estamos buscando a la gente con gente que va a trabajar en la mañana, no se tiene que preocupar. Eso depende, señor. Eso depende con quien ande. Ok, oye, y tú como latino, no te da pena arrestar a tu propia gente?
No te da pena como oficial de la ley? No me da pena hacer hacer la ley. Pregunta esa pregunta mejor. Ok, a ver, a ver. Ok, ya gracias.
Ok, gracias a usted.
