00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>This is the seventy seven WABC Mini cast.

2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:15.439
<v Speaker 2>My good friend Jose Santa Maria, a good friend, a

3
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:20.160
<v Speaker 2>native of Spain, worked for the banks in Spain and

4
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.199
<v Speaker 2>his home originally in Spain and lives in New York.

5
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 2>He's an investment banker. Well, Jose, how do you feel

6
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:31.879
<v Speaker 2>about your country, your homeland being invaded?

7
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:38.640
<v Speaker 3>John and devastated. The numbers we talked about yesterday, forty

8
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:42.840
<v Speaker 3>thousand keep on growing. We're talking sixty thousand people moving

9
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.759
<v Speaker 3>into the country. It's terrible. They got some rest yesterday,

10
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 3>but today they need to eat, they need to get dressed.

11
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.960
<v Speaker 3>So we're seeing already assaults into the supermarkets, into the shops.

12
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 3>It's terrible. It's thematic.

13
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 2>Now are they're breaking into people's homes too? I heard that,

14
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.520
<v Speaker 2>you know they're stealing cars. What are they doing?

15
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, they meet housing, They need to sleep, some words,

16
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:10.319
<v Speaker 3>sixty thousand people and they just need to get along

17
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.680
<v Speaker 3>with their lives wherever they are in the country. So

18
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 3>there are now obviously with no money and no support

19
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 3>from anyone, they're starting to commit crimes. It's a very

20
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:24.879
<v Speaker 3>dramatic situation. Spain had handled immigration very well. There's millions

21
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:29.439
<v Speaker 3>of Equatorious, Venezuela and Argentinians. People from everywhere, but in

22
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.319
<v Speaker 3>these numbers and undocumented is a real crisis.

23
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Hey, is anybody protecting if I had a home in

24
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.319
<v Speaker 2>Spain in that area, how do I protect my home?

25
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Is there? Is there a police department, is there a military?

26
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:43.719
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything?

27
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:50.040
<v Speaker 3>Well? Remember the Socialist government allows for people that get

28
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:54.159
<v Speaker 3>into an apartment or house to stay there, and the

29
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:57.079
<v Speaker 3>additional process is very long. It's a year or maybe two.

30
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.079
<v Speaker 3>So that is something that Spain needs to improve right now.

31
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 3>If you get someone to walk into your house and

32
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:05.879
<v Speaker 3>you're not there, you're not going to get them out

33
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:07.719
<v Speaker 3>external Wow.

34
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean this is a real problem.

35
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:10.000
<v Speaker 3>You know.

36
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 1>The New York Post actually just reported onto this that

37
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>not only are they overrunning the towns and so on,

38
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 1>but they're actually using the streets as open toilets and

39
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>they're bathing in the fountains. The beautiful fountains of Spain

40
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.319
<v Speaker 1>are now being used as bad as baths and showers.

41
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 3>I want to remind you of the World Health Organization

42
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 3>when you look at the health conditions of these countries. Unfortunately,

43
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.199
<v Speaker 3>Northern Africa is one or two, not just below, which

44
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 3>basically means people come on average with more HIV, more

45
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 3>pure closes, more hepatitis. That's a problem.

46
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 2>It's like, I mean, nobody has checked these people coming

47
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.360
<v Speaker 2>in for if they have diseases, Nobody has checked them

48
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:03.919
<v Speaker 2>for if they're at of prison, etc. I mean in

49
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 2>the United States when we had alex Island, we have

50
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.719
<v Speaker 2>checks and balances. You know, you have to pass the

51
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:14.759
<v Speaker 2>Alis Island test to make sure you come in. I mean, ose,

52
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:16.000
<v Speaker 2>this is a mess.

53
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 3>It is a mess, and I want to emphasize how

54
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 3>important it is to prioritize the security agenda. To me,

55
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.599
<v Speaker 3>there's a clear triangle of security which should have been

56
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:33.759
<v Speaker 3>coordination between Sain, Israel and Morocco. That's a big triangle

57
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 3>that requires very professional security and that is not happening

58
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.919
<v Speaker 3>unfortunately with this Spanish government.

59
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 1>But you have a real big problem because it's actually

60
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 1>your government that created this problem. It's interesting that they're

61
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 1>now looking for say foreign countries or more foreign countries

62
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.319
<v Speaker 1>are involved in trying to deal with this overrunning of

63
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 1>SUTA as opposed to their own government itself. What are

64
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:03.039
<v Speaker 1>they waiting for?

65
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:08.879
<v Speaker 3>Well, remember how this prime minister won the presidency of

66
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:14.599
<v Speaker 3>the Socialist Party and he also the presidency of the country.

67
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:18.480
<v Speaker 3>It was not because the majority of people voted him.

68
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 3>It was because of all the minorities with their conflicts

69
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.680
<v Speaker 3>of interest, I mean the Catalans on one side, the

70
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.680
<v Speaker 3>best on the other, all the separaties, people that have

71
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 3>a vested interest in accomplishing their personal goals. They voted

72
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 3>for him to become prime minister. He never had the

73
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 3>majority of the Spaniers. Spain and most of these countries

74
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 3>are actually leaning towards the consortative side. It is always

75
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 3>in a concert of this country. But this prime minister

76
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 3>has made decisions on his own that don't represent at

77
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.360
<v Speaker 3>all the Spaniards.

78
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.879
<v Speaker 1>And maybe it doesn't represent the Spaniards, but unfortunately the

79
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Spaniards now have to live with this Repercussion.

80
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.279
<v Speaker 3>Told me that he is trying to naturalize millions of

81
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:08.000
<v Speaker 3>people on the on the promise and on the on

82
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:10.680
<v Speaker 3>the commitment that they will vote for him, because he

83
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.600
<v Speaker 3>doesn't have the votes from people in Spain, so he's

84
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 3>trying to get all these migrants to basically vote for

85
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.680
<v Speaker 3>him as soon as possible. Europe has now finally realized

86
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:25.079
<v Speaker 3>and they're even discussed in closing the Shanngen space to

87
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.600
<v Speaker 3>Spain so that at least they can they can limit

88
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:31.600
<v Speaker 3>and strict this movement which is absolutely out of control.

89
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, well, what a mestus is Well, Jose, thank you

90
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 2>so much for keeping us informed. Anything else you want

91
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 2>to tell the American.

92
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:45.480
<v Speaker 3>People Spain is a good country, that the politicians are terrible,

93
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:47.639
<v Speaker 3>So it's important to be.

94
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Votre were what percentage Spain was a Christian country? What

95
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 2>percentage of Spain is now a Christian country? And what

96
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.800
<v Speaker 2>what else is it?

97
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Spain is mostly Christian Catholic as a matter of fact,

98
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:06.920
<v Speaker 3>it's probably about the seventies seventy five percent. It's been

99
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:12.439
<v Speaker 3>very open minded. But the problem is these young people,

100
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 3>times with ideas and times with objectives, which are creating

101
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:22.079
<v Speaker 3>an amount of tension similar to the one that you see,

102
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 3>for example in South France or in the u K.

103
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.920
<v Speaker 3>Where they haven't been able to absorb this migration. They

104
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.399
<v Speaker 3>never naturalize people by doing the right due diligence and

105
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 3>the investigations. They never did that. So right now Spain

106
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:40.160
<v Speaker 3>has a massive amount of people which are going to

107
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 3>be very upset. Of course, they need to use toilets,

108
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.279
<v Speaker 3>they need to eat, they need to drink. That's terrible.

109
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.079
<v Speaker 3>There's no way to handle this well.

110
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.639
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Santa Maria, Thank you for coming on, keep

111
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.040
<v Speaker 2>us informed, keep on New York as all Americans informed,

112
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:56.519
<v Speaker 2>and we'll catch up with you again.

113
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.680
<v Speaker 3>Wilson I will jump talking to you.

114
00:06:59.720 --> 00:06:59.959
<v Speaker 2>Thank you,
