Do you have comprehension problems, Rontimcoe?

The video clearly states Quiqones EARNED his American citizenship while attending Harvard Medical School.

Perhaps you should check out the many other Internet Sites which have in-depth information about this remarkable man. It's easy. Just google "Alfredo Quiqones-Hinojosa."

Perhaps you should also check the requirements of your own community college. Most allow entrance if the applicant can pass the appropriate academic exams. High School graduation is not required. However, Quiqones came to this country AFTER he had graduated from a Mexican college and was employed as a teacher.

He worked as a farm laborer, a tractor driver and a welder -- and worked full time while attending junior college. He went to the University of California, Berkeley on private scholarships NOT your tax dollars. He graduated with highest honors.

I'm sure Dr. Quiqones will be happy to send you a check for YOUR contribution to his education after HE pays off the many, many, tens of thousands of dollars of PERSONAL LOANS that enabled him to achieve the education that will save the lives of countless AMERICANS.

I find it interesting that those who know the LEAST are the ones who are most vocal with their condemning, vehement, unfounded bigotry.

Where did he get the papers to prove that he had a high school education before he attended community college ??
Oh, I know, from Jose on the street corner.

By the way, who said that he became a citizen ??

Dr. Q is an inspiration for us all. He's not the norm of the illegals coming into this country today. I hope his success proves an inspiration for others though.

He may have come in illegally, but he took the steps necessary to become legal and he should be commended for that.

ramos937...

This Doctor is the exception to the rule. Yes, he did jump the border, but he became a citizen of the USA and he is a "PRODUCTIVE" citizen. He learned to speak English. He said he wants to give back what he can to a country that allowed him to have his dream.
The point you are missing is that with 99% of the border jumpers, this is not the case! They want a free ride and they want us to pay for it.
All we Americans want is for all Illegal Aliens to come into this country LEGALLY. Why do you suggest that they should be allowed to jump our borders which is the first crime they committ against the USA when they get here, and then move on to many other crimes after they are here? I don't want that it my country.

Oh, and something else, I never jaywalk!!!!

The energy and drive of some of these illegal immigrants is enlightening, but I have to ask why some of that enegry isn't used on the country these immigrants are leaving. Work to better the conditions in your country.

To alfinver - Folks like you will never accept the truth. Many of these "illegal immigrants" contribute to the American economy, culture and every day life of every one of us. You continuously fight this.

You never acknowledge the other positive side of the issue. I would also point out that if the application processing mess was cured, the problem would be cut by almost 80%. Many cannot wait the 5 to 7 years it takes to process an application. They want a good life for their kids and one civil law will not stop them.

BTW, from the time you (and I) get up on Monday morning to late Friday PM, you would have violated any number of civil laws. You cannot help it, they are so many of them such as jaywalking, etc.
