My parents are from Mexico and they came here illegaly (based on US law I guess). I was born here, and that means I've been thru typical American schooling, employment, experiences, travel, etc. Anyway, it seems immigrant-bashing on this site seems to target Mexicans. Here's my thoughts:
1. If so many Americans are against immigration, why do they continue to employ immigrants?
2. Why persecute immigrants who take jobs that many natives in this country won't?
3. Are all origins of immigration wrong, regardless of what immigrants or their children accomplish? Atty Gen Alberto Gonzales' parents were immigrants, and he holds one of the highest offices in the US. Is his presence in the US just as wrong as that dude who cooks up your food at your fav restaurant?
4. If you're an imm-basher, what's your take on the opinions of some Mexicans who feel the US invaded/acquired the Southwest unjustly?
5. Go back a few generations & lemme know if you're a pure-blooded American.
Thanks!
