I see what your saying but look at it like this, if we didnt protest nobody would be hearing anything about whats happening and it wouild be easier for congress to pass the law. Now that everybody saw here in LA how many kids are protesting and all the attention its getting it put pressure on congress.
And guess what, If this law passes we aint gonna have education at all. Atleast in the U.S. So I can take losing money for our schools.
You know why we aint going to have education at all= OUR PARENTS WOULD BE DEPORTED AND ALL THOSE KIDS YOU SEE PROTESTING WOULD BE GONE TOO.

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.

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

Everyone knows about that issue though. It's one the most common points used against illegal immigration. Anything I've broughten up is to disprove some points people are making. Like I said earlier, it's too difficult to paint the perfect scenario.

M Dogg is a pessimist and a bigot. I wouldn't of even gave this topic the time of day, but here are my two cents:
There's nothing wrong with protesting as long as its peaceful so only a bigot & closet racist would be scared because it happens to be a minority group. Latinos immigrants are just as much of citizens to the US as any other citizens, if not more so in some areas. Economically, their contributions are vital to our economy, especially when it comes to agriculture. They also buy houses, pay taxes, etc just like everyone else so I think they are able to exercise their constitutional rights.
They are a hardworking people, they work their asses off to feed their families. CWalker wouldn't know this because the closest he's probably been to a Latino in Ohio was that one time he came across Telemundo while channel surfing. They can go from crossing the boarder and doing odd jobs to starting their own companies. That's a hell of an accomplishment if you as me. Most citizens born in the US can't do shit and end up doing nothing with their lives because they feel that a high salary is their birthright.
Many, I believe 7,000-10,000 latino immigrants are in Iraq fighting. I wouldn't fight for this war and I'm a citizen, so I couldn't even imagine fighting a war for a nation that I'm not even a citizen of.
So since they contribute to the economy and fight for the fucking country, they shoul dbe heard. Just my opinion.
As far as the students go, they should chill that shit out. It's fun as hell walking out on the school, I didnt once in highschool. The faculty was just watching us all leave lol.
