or race traitor! I just wish all the "illegals" would understand what it means to be in compliance with the laws set in regards to entering the United States of America without proper and legal documentation.
I have a couple of friends who don't agree with my viewpoints. They think just because my great grandparents migrated from Mexico, that I should be in agreement with the acceptance of illegals coming over freely and illegally by die hard supporters.
It's unacceptable and it is wrong and most importantly illegal. I like to think of myself as a pretty kind and compassionate person who has a heart for people who are suffering but when there is not even an inkling or motivation to acclimate, it's pretty difficult to remain compassionate. I feel for all the hundreds of thousands of people who did it the right way and who had to wait and study hard to become an American citizen. It is so unfair for them. That whole scenario really bothers me.
I am also bothered that our government turns its head at the problem. Enforcing the law is the only way to solve this mess and it begins with our leaders. I would imagine it is harder to grasp the severity of the problems these illegals cause all across the board and in our communities when you live in wealthier areas and aren't exposed to it. I would so march in a rally against the illegal population. If they showed up in thousands and weren't afraid then why should those who oppose them be?
Why is it so hard for illegals and their supporters to understand that what these people are doing is against the law? I think of even the smallest of laws that law enforcement writes citations for, and yet a huge illegal activity that happens under our noses on a daily basis is simply over-looked. It's so unfair and so disappointing to the point where I really have to keep myself in check so I don't actually start hating these people. Sometimes that isn't easy to do.
I also am not in support of these Chicano groups that subtly spread racism in their beliefs on university campuses. It's one thing to study origin of your ancestors, but it is a whole other thing when you are being taught that this land was yours before anyone else. That mi amigo is about the craziest thing I have ever heard. To those of you who might think I am traitor to the Latino culture, you are so wrong. I love this country! I love what it stands for! I am AMERICAN! My last rant is that you also have to get over the fact that many Latino families did not grow up speaking spanish. It's use was very minimal in our home growing up as it is in many Latino households. I agree with those who believe speaking it in public workplaces is rude, especially in the service industry. That makes my skin crawl.
Why is it so wrong to love your country, and honor it's laws? Why is it so wrong to stand up against illegal activity? Why is it so wrong to oppose rightfully so, the breaking of laws set by America's founding fathers? Illegals do come with the benefits of cheap labor and household services for those who utilize their services. On the other hand think of the billions they send home to their mother land annually while using resources here to care for their families that us tax payers pay for. It's like a person who keeps making a bank deposit only to have someone breaking in and taking it every time a deposit is made. It's wrong guys!! You can't deny that!
