I am a Mexican, born and raised here, but coming for a family of immigrants, this is what I understand.

You live in Mexico, things are shitty, you're dark, and poor, and hungry, and you have 5 kids, and they are hungry. As a man, you can't let your family starve, but there is no where around to get a good paying job to feed your kids. You have to make a decision, you stay there, struggle, and your kids go uneducated, and repeat the cycle of being hungry and poor, or you cross this fence, and on the other side you have a country which, even though you may struggle and you have a hard time getting alone, your kids will have and chance of a lifetime to make it, and succeed in life. As a parent, there is no thinking about it, you get your ass to the U.S., you work, and you get your kids to school.

Walking out of school is huge, LA schools first off are shitty, so you ain't missing much. It's got a 50% graduation rate, no matter the race, so lets get that out the way. Second, there is money gained each day from kids going to school. When you don't get an excused absent, the state keeps the money that was going to you being educated for the day. Since these kids walked out, the school lost money, therefore the economical effects are huge. The biggest way to the American systems attention is through their wallet.

Punish the business for hiring illegals, not the undocumented for trying to feed their families. As a man Real American, if you were Mexican, and you didn't cross that border, then you would be a chicken shit sorry piece of excuse of a man.

^^ yeah but one thing is, it's a good idea to avoid having 5 kids so you have to work your fuckin ass off day and night to feed em and buy em clothes etc... even for regular everyday whatever race people, having 1 or 2 kids is a fuckin hassle

yeah... I've seen the same with Mexicans that only have 1 or 2. The 5 was an example because for the most part, we do have about 3-5. But 1-2 is the same, and family is hella important, so it's rare you have a couple not want kids. That's unheard of. I know people will preach responsibility, but at the same time that's coming from the US, were it's taken for granted. We judge, and we don't think of others.

You know what M Dogg, you are probably right. If I was a poor, uneducated Mexican who had a family to feed, I probably would try to sneak across the border for a better way of life. But I am not a poor Mexican, I am an American. And we also have our own interests to look out for. Massive immigration from third world countries as well as chaotic borders has real consequences for our country that we have to acknowledge.
