So what on Earth makes you say that it’s only Mexicans crossing the border????
As far as I know the U.S. has gotten, still gets, and probably will keep getting
immigrants from all over the world. Are you trying to tell me that just because
these immigrants come through the southern border it automatically makes them Mexican?
I just don't understand why people fall for this dribble that is just painfully a divide and
conquer tactic. Immigrants have forever been targeted in an attempt to keep the population
in a constant bickering state. And it’s not something that only happens with the American
government either, it happens in nearly all governing bodies. Why can't people just begin to
realize that we are all stuck on this rock, and that will be stuck in this same pattern of
unnecessary violence and sectarianism if we keep letting fears like that run our lives. Oh
and by the way targeting immigrants is just one of the tactics used to keep the public
separated, there’s also other things like the war on drugs, or the war on terrorism, or the
prejudice of skin color. It all falls in the same bag, fear.
I admire how much patriotism some people have, but at the same time this same patriotism
can be too much. Especially when it leads to people getting hurt or being discriminated for
stupid reasons like “you have different accent” or “your skin not the same color as mine.”
Why can’t people be patriots for humanity, or for Earth? How is it that people can be so patriotic,
that it allows them to turn on their own kind?? And look I realize that there are some bad people
that may be coming through as well, but come on, that is always such a small percentage.
And this small percentage is represented in all social groups; we all have that group of bad apples
that screws it all up for the rest of us. Why can’t we all realize that we are all just humans trying
to figure out how each one of us fits into the bigger picture. People are just too selfish nowadays.
It makes me very sad to think about it.
Hey INWT, you can't be serious about having to "learn Spanish to read road signs" are you? Do you even
realize how illogical that is? Can you imagine how much money would have to be spent just to
retrofit U.S. road sign system. That’s just preposterous, specially when you remember that Bush
and his lackeys need that money to keep the ball rolling for this war on terrorism, drugs, the American Public, etc, etc, etc.
