now to get a lil more serious
this country is and was always built on immigration.... call me a wetback all you want but remember we didnt cross an ocean (talk about a wetback!) on 3 boats and think this bitch was india.....how would you guys like the Native Americans being able to say OK all you that came in boat get tha fuck out if you dying and need aide dont ask for help because i can go to jail if i help you....

well what about someone like me who has an illegal immigrant using my SS#
I had to go through shit just to "try" to get it cleared up, which you can't, and I've lost job opurtunities
this isn't about being racist or relevant to race itself, I don't think people who are explaining the problems of this situation on this forum even really care which races are involved when it comes down to it
to me it has nothing to do with whatever race you are, it's just the principle of how things work
And even if those people are nice just trying to make a living, I understand that, but it really creates problems when stuff is done illegally in that manner
yeah people bring up the good of illegal immigrants taking bad jobs, etc. but overall I think it creates more problems than it does good, obviously if it didn't create problems, we wouldn't be talking about this

But that's a Latino thing that we have to deal with ourselves, and not have whites and the US interfer. But legal, naturalized, or born here, most every Latino does not have a problem with illegal immigration, because somewhere our family has an immigrant history.

The biggest gripe is the fact that most American Born Latinos don't speak Spanish, but that's really the only shit you ever hear. The Gang shit, well that's another story that is bigger than Immigrant vs. American Born. It's in their home countries now.

i wrote something last night on the subject on myspace, here is what i wrote:
(pretty much sums up what i think about everything)
First off, many protested peacefully, and many protested with a good agenda and a good knowledge of whats going on and why they are leaving school and protesting, i applaud that, but a majority were protesting basically just to ditch school and act like dumbasses, seriously making yourselfs look like fools. On my way home in azusa i saw some dumbass throw a water bottle at a cop....why? that is not going to solve anything and it definetly is not going to help the cause at all.
Another thing i saw a lot of on television, waving mexican flags and yelling "Viva Mexico" - naw fool, "Viva USA" - the whole point of the protests are to have illegal immigrants STAY HERE!!! I understand pride for ones country and i respect it, i am a proud mexican american myself, but it makes no sense cheering for a place you do not want people to be taken to. Your in this country and you should be respectful to the fact that this county even gives u a right to be a dumbass, seriously.
People saying "Fuck Bush" - why? I know Mr. Bush is the evilest of evils, but in this case HE IS YOUR BIGGEST SUPPORTER! George Bush wants immigrants working in the US, hes not a dumb ass, he knows how much money he will save having immigrants work here, so he supports it, but people are yelling Fuck Bush, ignorant to the fact that he is a big supporter.
Ditching school, another issue - Me, i pay to go to school, so i am not missing school, high school students ditching school for what? all it is going to cost is a financial burden on your schools and later on when you want better classrooms, better computers, etc. guess what? YOUR SCHOOL IS NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY MONEY TO GET ALL THOSE THINGS BECAUSE YOU DITCHED SCHOOL FOR A WEEK!!!
All In All I wanted to say to all the kids reading this, Get Educated, dont be a dumbass, seriously, dont make mexican americans look dumb, there are better ways of protesting this, and if u do decide to ditch and protest that way, use your better judgement and watch what you say/where/wave/ actions you do.
