Can I say Something?
I get very upset when when I hear illegals saying "aqui estamos y no nos vamos" (We're here and we're not living) as the law in this country is something they don't care about.
There's a long list of issues that are telling that, as a latino, i have to STRONGLY OPPOSE the presence of such people in this wonderful country where my daughters were born, that I have to do anything in my power to avoid that such retrogressive culture replace the american culture and take over this country that I love as my own.
Can You please call your representatives and ask them to say NO to this infamous bill?
Answer:
God bless you my friend!! I have always maintained that these people are giving the truly good, honest, hard working Latinos, and Mexico in general, a bad name. I truly can't understand the mentality that says that it's okay to go to someone else's home and make demands and thumb your nose at the people who you're demanding help from. I love the Mexican culture and it does bring something special to the U.S. but this radical, subversive mindset that so many seem to have will ruin it for all of us eventually.
About time people stand up for what is right !.
I am also and Immigrant (there is no illegal immigrant - only criminals) and sick and tired watching people take advantage of this country. I am sick and tired of seeing my tax dollars being spend on illegals who have not contributed anything to this country. I am sick and tired of watching people demanding their criminal activities legalized!
Well put! I've already contacted my representatives.
I already have, but you also need to remember you are an American first with Latino heritage.
Something's wrong when our own government allows these illegals do this. Unfortunantly, I don't think there's anything we can do to stop it. It sucks, but it's the sad reality.
I have done so and thank you for immigrating legally. You are an American.
Thank you!
Thanks,good to hear a latino speak up for the USA.I can understand the shame you may be feeling.I have known and worked with many latino's who feel the same way that you do.
honestly, there needs to be more people such as yourself. You should right a book, form a group, or some other act that gets you public attention. The people who should be most offended at the illegal immigration issue are people like you because (assuming) you came here legally and properly.
I agree. Anyone who comes into this country illegally should not be allowed to stay. If they come here legally, they should be required to learn the language of this country and live according to it's laws. If they can't do that, then they should be deported.
I have written my reps., congressmen, senators and told them how I feel. Not one of them will get my vote again if I find out the voted to pass this bill.
Well said. :)
I wanted to help you with the translation of "aqui estamos y no nos vamos." It means "we are here and we are not leaving" or "we are here and we are not going" ("living" is viviendo). :)
Welcome to the US and thank you! :)
Thank you. I am glad you are in this country. It is good to see that you at least understand what is going on. I was all for the illegal plight until they started making demands. I think they are their own worst enemy. Once again thank you, and I am so honored to have you as a citizen.
I already have...
I think the real issue here is NOT immigration (this country is about immigration) or even the "threat" of latino culture replacing American culture... (there is nothing wrong with latino culture) the issue is DO WE HAVE AN IMMIGRATION POLICY OR NOT? DO WE HAVE BORDER CONTROL OR NOT? DO WE ENFORCE OUR LAWS OR NOT?
I recently watched a local parade. One gentleman who stood next to me stood and saluted when the American Flag passed. I saluted with him. We were the only two.
We talked. He is a Korean veteran. Our conversation, because of the number of Mexican flags displayed in the parade, touched on the appalling influx of illegal aliens. Our conversation included many of the thoughts you present so eloquently.
That gentleman is of Mexican descent. Too bad the politicians only seem to be able to hear the roar of the ignorant, and the criminal, and not the wishes of the people who belong in this country.
Thank you.
Good for you!
Thank you for posting this. My best friend is a 2nd generation Hispanic and she feels the same way you do!! Thank you!!
For the record I totally agree with you and your English and grammar are great!!!!!!!!!... :)
Or saying americans is feo.Why? Some say that about me.feo mexican.I am legal Mexican/American born in Texas.Why do I have to keep apologizing to my countrymen for being Mexican?Why do I have to prove I am citizen.Why do people tell me to go home to Mexico?I am proud of my ancestors aren't you?I love America it is my home. No I won't call until I know this isn't just to get rid of Mexicans legal or illegal.
we all wanted to live in peace here but they make it so hard for it to happen so all we can do is have ralleys
you should be ashamed of yourself and don't call yourself a latino! I wonder how your mother felt when you told her this.
Thats great to hear, and know about your view point. What a lot of people forget is that mexicans arent the only immigrants. People are retarded and think its only them, but it can be anyone. If people remember back in the day, we had the same problems with europeans, and asians.
God bless you and your beautiful family.
I email my senators daily on this issue, and besides the reasons you have stated, I have a reason of my own that I don not want his bill passed:
An illegal alien broke into my friend's home, surprised her in the shower, and made her give him all the money and jewelry in the house. After that, he tied her up, raped, and tortured her. then strangled her before he left. He used her cell phone to brag to his friends that he raped and killed a white woman. He used the money to buy drugs.
The cops caught him, he was put on trial and found guilty & sentanced to 15 years in prison.
His actual punishment? DEPORTATION!
I can't imagine what her husband went through telling their 7 year old daughter that the bad man wasn't going to jail.
Nicely put,well stated!
