It was question and answer, cat and mouse:
“Do you think it is a brave thing to do what you did?”
“Yes.”
“Do you think it would be a brave thing to go away from your own wife when she needed you?”
“No.”
“Why didn’t you stay down in Mexico?”
“Well, first thing, I could not get my trade there. I had to do any other job.”
“Why didn’t you stay down there, down in that free country, and work with a pick and shovel?”
“I don’t think I did sacrifice to learn a job to go pick and shovel in Mexico.”
“Is it because—is your love for the United States of America commensurate with the amount of money you can get in this country per week?”
