It kills me, when I hear people talking about how undocumented immigrants are taking jobs, not paying taxes, taking from the system, etc. I have news for those people. Most undocumented immigrants pay taxes, they are doing work that American or documented immigrants will not do, and they cannot take anything from the system. I believe there is a double standard because while we waste a lot of money in one border, we are ignoring the Canadian border. There are limits as to how many people can come from certain countries. Yet most Europeans countries have no limits. I want to make it clear that I am not prejudice. It is just that I see so much unfairness that it hurts my heart. We are all human beings and should all have the same rights. I for one hate labels. You know those labels regarding your race have to go. My parents came from one of the Island, Dominican Republic therefore, I have all kinds of mixes in me. My grandmother is from Spain, my grandfather is and Islander looks like an Indian, that is on my father side of the family. My grandmother is a Mexican, my grandfather is a mixed Islander, that is on my mother side. In the world of labels I am Latino/Hispanic/White. LOL, see what I mean about labels? My question is now, who is an American? If you live in this country, this is the only home you know, you love this country, you are an American to me. The “DREAMERS” are all Americans to me. There has to be a way to fix our BROKEN immigration system. It is time for everyone to be able to come out of hiding. I know I am jumping from one subject to another but there are so many things to discuss. For instance “ICE” is making a lot of mistakes taking in documented immigrants and sometimes American citizens because of profiling. My respect to all of and apologies for writing so much.

These is one of the biggest problems we have, the system does not work for us the same as for the rest of the country. We are guilty until proven innocent. Being Latino makes you guilty, therefore, what the prosecutor does is scare our people into taking a plead. Unfortunately, a lot of time, they end up with Legal Aid Attorneys who do not represent them but convince them to take a plead.

By the way, Joe Aarpio needs to go. The way he has violated immigrants civil rights, should have been under investigation by the FBI all this time.
