I know that the Left Wing blames the "Right Wing" for bigotry, xenophobia, racism and other things. My self and my family being an immigrant family actually have an opinion. If you read it and disagree, its OK, the purpose of this blog is for you to doubt me and hopefully to doubt every other opinion so that you can form your own. If you disagree dont just stop reading this blog because at that moment you become that biggot who refuses to accept others and their opinions. You want to march and be heard? now hear me.
I really get upset when I see ilegal immigrants being taken advantage of by big companies that in my opinion are abomination to how the Capitalist system is supposed to work. From my own experience I can tell you that employers know when they hire an immigrant and take advantage of this employee by not offering benefits and by paying minimum wages. What this actually does is create cheap labor and when legal residents apply for this positions they do not take them because they expect more pay and some benefits. How do put an end to this? Amnesty you say? Do you think that amnesty would stop the following trends among Hispanics?
1. Hispanics have the highest teen pregnancy rate in the Nation.
2. More than 50% of Hispanics drop out of High School.
3. Hispanics have a lower percentage High School completion rate than
any other minority.
4. 45% of Hispanics that use the emergency rooms, use fake names and
never pay their bills.
We criticise other minorities about their livestyle but at least they have adapted and try to assimiliate this culture. Us, well some of us do not want to learn English. One of my sisters friend insisted that Americans had to be able to communicate with iligalmmigrants so that the immigrants would not be outcasted. This does more harm then good because if ilegal immigrants dont learn English they can never advance in their jobs... I now a great deal of people in California who never bothered to learn English and after years and years of working at the same place they make 9-10 dollars and hour.
Yes I know that ilegal immigratns pay taxes...let me give you a scenario and please be hones in you response which I hope you do send me. Lets pretend that you live in a home where there is plenty space to live, if you are hungry you will never not find food because it is abundant. You never have to suffer heat nor cold because you home is well insulated. People who live in that home, for the most part stick to their own business and respect the house rules. Now pretend that in order to live in this home you've had to have been born within its soil. This alone entitles you to everything in it. Now, I walk by your home and realize that my home is not as great as yours. In fact if I criticize my home I may be kicked out of even locked in my room. I desire to live in you home but I cant walk in unless I ask for permission (Right?). I dont need your permission so I sneak in and pretend to be part of this home. I also demand to get everything that you have because I deserve to be treated equally as you are treated. without a doubt we both have the same rights but because I am in your home and i am your guest I cannot demand but i can ask and you as my host can decide what i have a right to. Remember that I have a God given right to live and be happy and that is about it. What I get within this home is up to you.
It is a simple anology because the US is our home and Mexico (for me) is where I did not want to be. In these protest, Mexicans are showing incredible patriotism. I'm sorry to say that i do not share it because Mexico has forced my family to this country. If you are so patriatic why leave Mexico? Perhaps we should let the Mexican government take over the southwest and run it likes its running Mexico today. What do think would happen?
What we have to do is leave our useless Mexican and brown pride aside and take pride in our families and ourselves. This of course will make sure that families stay together and take responsibity for their own actions and mistakes. I am proud of the culture that I came from. My people have conquered and ruled the mesoamerican world. Sadly today my culture is corrupt and my country cannot rule itself, this is why I live in America. We cannot demand those rights that are given to American citizens by the United States Constitution, but we can ask for those rights. Tengamos respeto, educacion y sentido comun.
