I think the people that I just saw on these videos are a little bit ridiculous. They act like immigrants are animals and only here to make things worse for us. I think these people need to take a step out of their privileged lives and think about someone else for a change. They need to get to know who these people really are and why they’re really here. They are some of the most hard working and loving people I have ever met. I am appalled that someone could actually think that and broadcast it publicly. They have just as much right to a good life as you do!

I have met a ton of undocumented immigrants and not a single one is in the U.S. to be a freeloader or a criminal. They are some of the hardest working people I know and many are more proud to be American than citizens that were born here. We are all immigrants unless we are Native American. I don’t see how people don’t understand that. This country would collapse without the undocumented workforce.

Indeed how quickly “Americans” have forgotten their own history, you know, the bit about how Europeans came over here and invaded a land that was already inhabited by other people. I’ve been telling some of my Latino friends about this fabled “plot” that the media and otherwise have made up where Mexicans are clearly invading the USA so that they can take over what land they lost. My friends are like, “Wow. We NEVER thought of that! That’s a great idea! White people always have the best ideas! HAHA” ;-) Also, as far as assimilation goes, how do these ignorant Americans expect people to assimilate to a culture that continues to tell them they are definitely different and NOT WELCOMED here? Lest we also forget, we wouldn’t have things like hamburgers and hotdogs (both originally from Germany), spaghetti and pizza (from Italy), bagels (from Poland), or any other “American” food if it weren’t for immigrants bringing their food and traditions here. So the next time middle America goes through a McDonald’s or Taco Bell drive thru, perhaps they ought to think about where these “American” restaurants got their influence.

Please, let families and humanity win. Not cruelty and forms and hatred, and prisons, and numbers. Thank you.

We all need to speak up!

When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God. Leviticus 19:33,34 —Wife of a Guatemalan citizen who was deported

Occasionally, I’m reminded that the US doesn’t stand for human rights. The US hypocritically has violated many human rights, and sadly, very much still does. Please let’s change this. Children, families, communities deserve better. Stop the deportations. Stop separating families. Stop degrading human beings.

Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.”

Signed!

Rush L and Ann C sure don’t speak for me. Both are an embarrassment to me. Their dissemination of fear and hate is troglodytic. Dreadful people.

I can’t believe that this is even still an issue. What it comes down to is discrimination by and in the law. If at all possible, each of these people should be willing to provide a home or email address in order to be told what the rest of the (thinking) population feels. After all, if a person believes in his or her convictions enough to share them with the world, he or she should have no problem with opening up his or her home to possible negative outcomes stemming from said sharing. violence begets violence, whether it be a verbal, written, or physical assault; I personally support only the first two, and am willing to write and say what is necessary to keep such small-mindedness from spreading. People, hear me: discrimination of any kind is not in any context right.

Todos son iguales!
