The United States of... Mexico??
For starters, I am not a racist. Not even close. I have many friends of many different ethnical backgrounds. And being from California, I've grown up and been friends with quite a few Mexican people.
Now, onto the posting...
This whole immigration thing has got me fired up. I'm not even in the States right now, but just watching it and reading it on the news has got me irrate! "Thousands" of illegal immigrants and supporters of illegal immigrants are marching on our nation's soil. Illegal immigrants are just that, illegal immigrants. They do not share the same rights and freedoms as we do. But yet, they're allowed to march on our soil, protest on our soil, and even BURN OUR FLAG on our soil.
Some of the most upsetting things I've seen or heard about this so far: A Mexican, on national television, burning the US Flag. I guess they want to live in our country, but fly their flag. Then an American, just happened to be a white guy, held a Mexican flag and a lighter, and before he could even strike up the lighter, about 12 police officers dog piled on this man... an American. A man with the right and freedom of expression, given to him by our own government. That's telling me that illegal immigrants, not bound by our laws or Constitution, have more rights than we do! Another story... A school in California informed its students that they are not to have ANYTHING portraying the US flag. When one boy wore a T-shirt with a US flag on it, he was suspended. So much for patriotism. This same school still allowed it's Mexican students to carry mini Mexican flags. Wear the Mexican colors. Why didn't they just lower the US flag and raise the Mexican flag on the flag pole? Heck, why not have the school band trump up the Mexican national anthem?! And yet another story... Ted Kennedy, giving a speech on our nation's soil, at our nation's capital, in a FOREIGN language. So now we can't even speak our own language in our country, because that wouldn't be fair to the illegals. I am thoroughly pissed off and disappointed in the US government.
I have nothing against foreigners from any country coming into this country, as long as they do it the right way.. the legal way. But these people are crossing our border, and flooding our education systems, our medical institutions, and ruining our economy. Then they want to step up and ask us to give them our rights and our freedoms. What about the rights and freedoms that they're taking away from the CITIZENS of this country. This is a joke and it needs to end now. Our government won't even step up to the plate and stop this. Why? Because by catering to them, they'll gain more votes. That's right, the government is selling out the American people, and the American way of life all for a few more votes. It's not just the Democrats, it's also the Republicans... the ones initiating the bill to make it a felony to enter this country illegally. What hypocracy!
Maybe my next post should be in Spanish...
