I don’t even know where to start when the ...Haters<br /> I don’t even know where to start when the subject of illegal immigrants comes up. Hearing about all the horrible stuff that our country does to what they believe are illegal immigrants, is mind boggling. I didn’t realize we had such a problem, in the U.S, with immigrants coming in and out of our country and let alone how we are going to deal with these people. Killing isn’t the way to solve problems. Our country should have figured that out after the civil war. Also, people need to realize that not everything is going to be perfect and if you’re a legal alien awesome, if you’re not become one or stop causing problems. The U.S is still young and is going to be an even better country someday, but for now can’t we just follow the laws even though they may not be fair.Spachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229613456433875924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693000669302917676.post-66726577673057850282011-01-11T01:11:24.522-08:002011-01-11T01:11:24.522-08:00The World is Shrinking and Our Egos Are Growing
T...The World is Shrinking and Our Egos Are Growing<br /><br />The egos of the “freedom loving patriots” of this country are astounding. Here I thought that the Andrew Jackson's and General George Wright's of this world were a dying breed, and then I see social morons like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin cropping up under every slimy rock. Somehow the citizens of this country are confusing apartheid with “protecting our borders”. Our borders, for which we stole land, killed children, and enslaved indigenous peoples to preserve. But when has the disenfranchisement whole populations of peoples ever given us pause in the past? When will these socially blind and politically confused citizens see that we are truly one people with many cultures and languages, each more vibrant and intricate than one could possibly imagine. <br /><br />As the population of this planet explodes, we are becoming a world community. At least we should be. We can no longer afford to look at our finite living space in terms of borders and battlegrounds. The world is shrinking fast, and truthfully, I think that we have more important things to worry about.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406946939597409910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693000669302917676.post-90464115836533203512011-01-10T20:00:57.935-08:002011-01-10T20:00:57.935-08:00Immigrants
&qu...Immigrants<br /> <br />"Give me your tired, your poor,<br />Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,<br />The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. <br /><br /> Emma Lazarus<br /><br /><br /> <br />The Statue of Liberty represents many things, among them friendship between nations and freedom from oppression. <br />So why is it that it is so hard for us to share the opportunities and stop all the hate? There are so many mixed emotions I have on this subject. If you were born here then thank your lucky stars. If people migrate here then chances are you appreciate every opportunity that comes. But for some, freedom is taken for granted. A sense of entitlement. What most people do not think about is the fact that chances are your ancestors came here by boat.<br />Back then the issues were not as tough to deal with. Values and morals were at a way higher standard. Work hard and you will have life full of prosperity or at least better chance of living a decent life. Today times are tough and the almighty dollar is harder to come by. Immigration is a sore subject with most people. Here is the deal if you work pay<br />taxes. Don't milk our country and expect free handouts. It is not supposed to work that way. Every nationality in this country is guilty of taking advantage of the system. It should not matter what race, religion, or sexual orientation you are nobody deserves a free ride. If your not legal then get legal or go home. Stop making excuses and make it happen. Furthermore, If you don't like our government don't shoot at us or burn our flag get the hell out of our country and go find find one that suits your needs! Stop killing our people.shellbeesbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13082905621275937772noreply@blogger.com
