My whole opinion on Illegal Immigration is a bit fuzzy to say the least. I've always felt that people shouldn't break the law to live a better life. That really isn't the case anymore, I've changed my mind. Illegal Immigration is something that happens because there isn't a better way to make a better life for yourself other than to break the law. You have to admit we as American citizens have it pretty easy here, we have cell phones, cable TV, video games, and a bunch of stuff we don't need to make life a lot easier. We don't have to worry about having to feed our children as much as people in different countries have to, we get a lot of help here from various organizations. Aside from that we can choose to take almost any job we want because we have opportunity thrown at us since grade school all we have to do is reach out and take it. Illegal Immigrants don't have that, they have to fight for any scrap they can get just to have a slightly better day. What's my point? My point is that on top of all that Arizona passes a stupid law to make life more difficult for these hardworking people.
Sure they may be breaking the law and some might say they are a problem. But the truth is, Illegal Immigration wouldn't be such a big problem if people born here didn't feel like they were too good to work "shitty" jobs. What jobs do most Immigrants have? Line cooks, dishwashers, landscapers, fruit harvesters, farm work, ditch diggers, any hard physical labor. Work that most privileged people look down on because "book smarts" aren't necessary. But these people will work circles around you and ten of your friends! This law makes it so police can stop anyone that "looks illegal" and have them prove their legality. Sounds like something straight out of Nazi Germany! That's NOT what America is about, and this has me very ashamed to be an American. This law has opened my eyes to the injustice and hate that lives in this country and I will not let this happen. I support the boycott of Arizona based companies like Petsmart, Cold Stone Creamery, Discount Tires, U-Haul, etc. People will say "If you boycott them the local economy suffers too!", My answer is: TOO FUCKING BAD! You know how many people there are out there who suffer from not having enough money and working 3 jobs just to barely make ends meet for a family of 6? Some of you will NEVER know what that is like, but many of you know someone who is an illegal and in a shitty situation. I've heard things from American born citizens who say "Hey! We had it pretty rough growing up! Both my parents had to work and raise us on hand-me-downs!" If you are from here and you have to struggle to live and you aren't trying to better your situation: YOU OR YOUR PARENTS MADE SHITTY LIFE CHOICES AND DID NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES THIS COUNTRY OFFERS! If illegal aliens swoop in and take your jobs then you aren't working hard enough!
This country was built on the backs of immigrants, the state of Arizona has forgotten that. I bet you the Lawmakers there have a horde of illegals working their lawns and caring for their children. We who are the children or grandchildren of immigrants need to rise up and help. It took years of working with honest hard-working guys in the kitchen at Bakers Square to teach me that these people work hard. I feel embarrassed that I used to think differently and was for laws that hunted down illegals. But this law woke me up. We need to step up and back up this boycott! We need to let this country know that we are the sleeping giant, We need to keep Obama in the White House because he's the son of a immigrant too! We need to show the world that: Si se puede.
THE MATTER HERE IS THAT THE STATES HAVE BEEN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ALL NATURAL (AND HUMAN) RESOURCES. SO THEY ARE COMPLAINING NOW FOR THE DISASTER THEY MADE IN OUR COUNTRIES. THEY NOT ONLY MADE OUR PEOPLE POOR AND MISERABLE BUT CHANGED OUR BEHAVIOUR AND BELIEF. WHAT THEY CALL "A PROBLEM" IS GOING TO CHANGE THE DAY THEY LIVE US ALONE, IN THE OTHER HAND IS UP TO OUR PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR ALTERNATIVE POLITICIANS, SOMETIMES I FEEL LATIN AMERICA,DESERVES ITS SITUATION WHEN SPOIL AND GIVE ALMOST FOR FREE ITS RICHNESS.
ReplyDeleteQUERIA COMPARTIRTE ESTO QUE ESCRIBI EN UN MOMENTO DE INSPIRACION, ES EL INICIO DE ALGO QUE ME GUSTARIA TRABAJAR MAS ADELANTE AHORA ES SOLO UN BOCETO. POR AHORA LO LLAME 'SOBRE EL MIEDO':
ReplyDelete"Si bien se ha tratado de explicar el por que de la dificultad de los paises latinoamericanos para conseguir un avance económico a travez de teorias que consisten, sobretodo, en como factores externos han aprovechado y explotado materialmente los territorios, seria conveniente prestar atencion, además, como posiblemente estos factores o actores externos han modificado los modos de pensar y con esto las actitudes cotidianas.
Podriamos definirlo como como se han visto afectadas la mentalidades y como a partir de este hacho se actua. Esta es una mentalidad enfocada hacia el fracazo que nos impide si quiera tomar impulso para cumplir nuestros objetivos. Diria que pertenecemos a una sociedad que nace con las alas cortadas, generacion tras generación aprendemos a tener miedo, miedo a lo que esta mas adelante por mas bueno que sea, antiguamente miedo a la condena eterna o a la condena del hambre y al no ser nadie en su version posmoderna.
Es asi que nuestros pueblos conviven en un extrano proceso unico e inesperado resultado de las contaminadas aguas y los campos desiertos luego de la explotacion, vivimos en varias epocas a la vez, quien creeria que la maquina del tiempo se iba a ser presente en tan pauperrimos territorios. Es asi que mientras nuestras ciudades ponen toda su maquinaria, sus esfuerzo y dinero para forzar nustras economias hacia la integracion y competencia mundial, globalizando y tecno logizando para entrar forzadamente al siglo XIX, a tal vez una o dos horas de viaje de la cuidad nos encontramos de nuevo en la edad media, alli sus habitantes siguen siendo lacayos de un gran terrateniente que el es dueno de miles de pequenas parcelas de la que el campesino solo puede comer, nunca la posee ni podra tener una vida diga con ella, aunque se lo merezca y sea su derecho."
I'm getting tired of the Nazi Germany comparison. This shit is just good old fashion American Racism. The institution that this country was started on and continues to this day.
ReplyDelete@Silvestre your right it is racism... I just love comparing shit to Nazi Germany!
