Oops, looks like there’s yet another hole in the fence at the local looney hospital … and they all got away !

Hey, how about videos of the exact contrary : human loving civilized Americans getting out of their way to be nice with each other (including NON Americans) ?

I need some good news to get over all this disgusting hate talk !

So much misinformation. Unbelievable. And even more unbelievable is that other individuals fall for this unbridled racism.

I am horrified that anyone could view another human being as a piece of garbage or a future criminal. We all need to be judged by our own behavior and not by stereotypes of any kind. When people make racist, anti-immigrant comments, what is really going on is that they are so afraid of something that they can’t think straight. The job for these racists is to examine themselves and figure out what is going on that makes them so afraid of people that they attack them and try to destroy them. Sadly this fear is very dangerous to other people. Who is the one really in danger of being hurt? The racist who is so violent or the immigrant who is trying to make his or her way in ordinary life?

People are the most valuable resource of a society. Migrant people offer unique gifts to enhance the lives of everyone. To deny this is ignorant and self-defeating, like refusing an opportunity to learn and grow and experience friendship with other vibrant human beings. It is a shriveled, narrow existence the nativists lead. I don’t envy them. I hope they will each have a revelatory experience of love and kindness that will advance their souls toward something approaching humanness.

They have a right to be here just like everybody else does! Didn’t your parents tell you that when you were kids? Don’t you tell your kids that if you have them?

Rush Limbaugh says he is ashamed of this country because of the

Democrats; well I am ashamed and sick to my stomach about him

and all of his ilk. Shame on the whole lot of them.

Racism is a disease. It kills those who possess it. Help them help themselves, by helping them learn compassion for themselves, and compassion for others. It will save their lives.

We are all immigrants…even the “Indians” who crossed over from Asia 20,000 years ago. The Earth belongs to us all.

Is this what we call the United States of America? Are we united or falling apart?

Sick people indeed.

Human rights are common sense. Sadly, common sense is not common these days.

If there is a good implication in globalization, it should be immigration where humans across the planet are free to choose where to live without strict national boundaries. It seems that this is the farthest from being the case as immigration restrictions not only has denied the historic truth about this nation being nothing but an outcome of immigration, but also that immigration has become a win card to dirty politics. There is so much hatred, abuse, and hypocrisy surrounding the subject of immigration from the bi-partisan politicians. While many capitalist conservative opportunist contractors and small business owners can not hide their interest in hiring low wage and tip workers in restaurants, farms, janitor services, and construction, their liberal counterparts continue to defend immigration for the wrong reasons: abusing demographic electoral power. The subject of immigration must be approached with more dignity and truth about the benefits and expense of immigration. Phobic stereotyping and falsification is not the way to handle the subject. A balance between the two extremes can be reached by serious and decent re-evaluation of our laws and attitudes governing the subject. The starting point is the realization that our great nation is no more than a composition of immigrants and it continues to be.

We are a nation of immigrants. It is specifically our diversity that makes us unique and strong. Furthermore, immigration issues and entitlement reform should be connected in the public debate. America needs immigrants as baby boomers age and birthrates continue to drop. We especially need the type of people who set out against all odds to bring themselves and their families here to be part of the American experiment. The ironic thing is, I don’t want people who wait in line, but the ones who can’t wait and put up with living in the shadows to become a part of who we are. They truly contain the Spirit of America. Any person who cannot separate immigration from issues of drugs, crime and gun violence, don’t sufficiently understand what is happening in our country. They most likely don’t know any immigrants and usually harbor racist, xenophobic fears and violent revenge fantasies. These people must be shouted down and marginalized. They are the ones who should leave. They rail against American birthright laws, yet they seem to forget that they did less to become American than the immigrants they blame for all the ills of society. Send the racists to the moon and open the gates to the dreamers. Our country will be all the better for it.
