ok i'm gonna have an opinion and a comparative story from the inside of being an immingrant living in this country , i'm 24 mexican and i moved here when i was 11 , my dad has lived here since he was 17 end came into the country illegaly , he applied for residency back in the late 80's amnesty , and he became a u.s. resident , lived here and traveled back at least twice a yar to see us , my mom and two sisters , my mom is a teacher , my grandparents were higher middle class on my dad's side and lower middle class on my mom's side , I or the were never needy or hungry , we worked our asses of since i could walk , i know how to plant , harvest milk cows , tend animals, do stuff you'd never encounter in the u.s. like cleaning pig stalls...
We moved here legally on a tourist visa , my mom applied for a work visa , we went to school , my dad applied for citizenship and got approved , then he applied for us and we also became u.s. citizens , we all graduated high school , my sister is in japan right now as a member of the navy , i was in the marine corps , college and work with my dad , my youngest sister attends the university of florida , my mom still goes to college and works as a special needs teacher , my dad owns his own business , we all pay taxes , insurance , rent(mortgage) and car pyments by working our asses off ,
My wife is white , she was born in this town her whole famillt was born in miami , she's a single child , her mom raised her by herself , working her ass off as a cook , her brothers worked in the automotive industry for a while , but....they are all drug users , ( not my wife lol) they all smoke pot and do pills , they all live off the government checks , non of them work , her cousin has no job and she was recently shot in her home because they tried to steal the drugs her and her boyfriend were selling ( they later moved out cus it was a bad neighborhod...go figure)
two familes,different races living in the same space both from working backgrounds but both live in the u.s. in a very different manner .
Not everyone is the same , i have family in mexico that is well to do because they went to school and don't need to come to this country.
no one ever thinks about how it would be if they needed to move somewhere else , emphasis on needed , even when it's to a different town you're always going to talk about the good stuff wherever u came from , does that mean you want to go back or even can ? probably not .
have you ever wondered what woukld happen if the u.s. legalized the people that are illegal with no criminal background and a job? a lot of problems would dissapear like no insurance, tax evaders , etc
i'm all for deporting criminals and getting jails emptier ,
a lot of people that are born here waste the opportunities given to them , a lot of them sit home playing video games smoking pot.... and then they complain cus they can't get a job....
one thing that does bother me is how they always pin all the problems on hispanic minorities ok....MEXICANS .... seriously c'mon if you want to sound at all smart and like you have a clue whenever you talk about illegal immigrants leave out the mexican part...at least if you're talking to me.
and you know who are the most racist towards mexicans? ....other hispanics especially mexicans born in the u.s. , some of them call themselves texans...
and i don't care what anyone says about the deportation laws not being about race....they are about race , we are all racist i don't care what you say.
