Immigration - September 2007

The states are failing to educate these immigrants and many are dropping out of school. As a People, apart from the government, how can we help integrate the undocumented immigrants in to our collective society? We have a lot to learn from undocumented immigrants and they will be a great boon to our collective society.

Did I get the right information? The funding has been denied from our Senators? It seems real funny to me that until yesterday Hillary and Osama didn't even breath an opinion on the subject. Now they realize how p*ssed the Americans were and all of a sudden they are against it. I see it as a saftey issue and they see it as political gain... What's your opinion?

Most of my Latino and black people who are struggling to get food, clothes and shelter in the hood are so concerned with that, that philosophising about freedom and socialist democracy is usually unfortunately beyond their rationale. They don't realize that America can't exist without separating them from their identity, because if we had some sense of who we really are, there's no way in hell we'd allow this country to push it's genocidal consensus on our homelands. This ignorance exists, but it can be destroyed.

***** talk about change and working within the system to achieve that. The problem with always being a conformist is that when you try to change the system from within, it's not you who changes the system; it's the system that will eventually change you. There is usually nothing wrong with compromise in a situation, but compromising yourself in a situation is another story completely, and I have seen this happen long enough in the few years that I've been alive to know that it's a serious problem. Latino America is a huge colony of countries whose presidents are cowards in the face of economic imperialism. You see, third world countries are rich places, abundant in resources, and many of these countries have the capacity to feed their starving people and the children we always see digging for food in trash on commercials. But plutocracies, in other words a government run by the rich such as this one and traditionally oppressive European states, force the third world into buying overpriced, unnecessary goods while exporting huge portions of their natural resources.

I'm quite sure that people will look upon my attitude and sentiments and look for hypocrisy and hatred in my words. My revolution is born out of love for my people, not hatred for others.

You see, most of Latinos are here because of the great inflation that was caused by American companies in Latin America. Aside from that, many are seeking a life away from the puppet democracies that were funded by the United States; places like El Salvador, Guatemala, Peru, Columbia, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Republica Dominicana, and not just Spanish-speaking countries either, but Haiti and Jamaica as well.

As different as we have been taught to look at each other by colonial society, we are in the same struggle and until we realize that, we'll be fighting for scraps from the table of a system that has kept us subservient instead of being self-determined. And that's why we have no control over when the embargo will stop in Cuba, or when the bombs will stop dropping in Vieques.

But you see, here in America the attitude that is fed to us is that outside of America there live lesser people. "**** them, let them fend for themselves." No, **** you, they are you. No matter how much you want to dye your hair blonde and put fake eyes in, or follow an anorexic standard of beauty, or no matter how many diamonds you buy from people who exploit your own brutally to get them, no matter what kind of car you drive or what kind of fancy clothes you put on, you will never be them. They're always gonna look at you as nothing but a little monkey. I'd rather be proud of what I am, rather than desperately trying to be something I'm really not, just to fit in. And whether we want to accept it or not, that's what this culture or lack of culture is feeding us.

I want a better life for my family and for my children, but it doesn't have to be at the expense of millions of lives in my homeland. We're given the idea that if we didn't have these people to exploit then America wouldn't be rich enough to let us have these little petty material things in our lives and basic standards of living. No, that's wrong. It's the business giants and the government officials who make all the real money. We have whatever they kick down to us. My enemy is not the average white man, it's not the kid down the block or the kids I see on the street; my enemy is the white man I don't see: the people in the white house, the corporate monopoly owners, fake liberal politicians those are my enemies. The generals of the armies that are mostly conservatives those are the real Mother-******* that I need to bring it to, not the poor, broke country-*** soldier that's too stupid to know **** about the way things are set up.

In fact, I have more in common with most working and middle-class white people than I do with most rich black and Latino people. As much as racism bleeds America, we need to understand that classism is the real issue. Many of us are in the same boat and it's sinking, while these bougie Mother-******* ride on a luxury liner, and as long as we keep fighting over kicking people out of the little boat we're all in, we're gonna miss an opportunity to gain a better standard of living as a whole.

In other words, I don't want to escape the plantation I want to come back, free all my people, hang the Mother-****** that kept me there and burn the house to the god damn ground. I want to take over the encomienda and give it back to the people who work the land.

You cannot change the past but you can make the future, and anyone who tells you different is a ******* lethargic devil. I don't look at a few token Latinos and black people in the public eye as some type of achievement for my people as a whole. Most of those successful individuals are sell-outs and house ******.

But, I don't consider brothers a sell-out if they move out of the ghetto. Poverty has nothing to do with our people. It's not in our culture to be poor. That's only been the last 500 years of our history; look at the last 2000 years of our existence and what we brought to the world in terms of science, mathematics, agriculture and forms of government. You know the idea of a confederation of provinces where one federal government controls the states? The Europeans who came to this country stole that idea from the Iroquois lead. The idea of impeaching a ruler comes from an Aztec tradition. That's why Montezuma was stoned to death by his own people 'cause he represented the agenda of white Spaniards once he was captured, not the Aztec people who would become Mexicans.

So in conclusion, I'm not gonna vote for anybody just 'cause they black or Latino they have to truly represent the community and represent what's good for all of us proletariat.

Porque sino entonces te mando por el carajo cabron gusano hijo de puta, seramos libre pronto, viva la revolucion, VIVA LA REVOLUCION!

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate voted on Tuesday to block funding for a Bush administration test program to let Mexican long-haul trucks operate in the United States under 1994's North American Free Trade Agreement.

ADVERTISEMENT

One day after a fiery truck accident killed dozens in Mexico, the Senate approved an amendment to a transportation spending bill that would cut off funding for the test, which the administration authorized last week to run for one year.

The House of Representatives has passed a similar measure.

The White House on Tuesday threatened to veto the broad transportation bill because it would spend more money than President George W. Bush requested. It said the administration opposes any restrictions on the cross-border trucking program."

An 8-year-old boy whose illegal immigrant mother lived in a Chicago church for a year is on a speaking tour pleading for an end to deportations and raids.Elvira Arellano (el-VEE'-ruh ah-ray-AH'-noh) was arrested in Los Angeles last month and deported to Mexico.

Her son Saul (sah-OOL') is a U.S. citizen and was speaking at a rally in Cleveland yesterday. He will speak in several cities on his mother's behalf.

Supporters of Arellano have said Saul will stay in the U.S. and Elvira Arellano will continue fighting in Mexico for the cause of illegal immigrant parents with U.S. citizen children.

Saul Arellano told the crowd to ask President Bush to end deportations so his mother and other families in the same situation can stay in the U.S.

Isn't it reasonable to assume that there is so much poverty in Mexico, because the Mexican government is corrupt and the Mexican elite are greedy?
And if that is true, aren't we simply perpetuating the root cause of the poverty in Mexico when we take in their poor and relieve the pressure, that should be on the Mexican government, to do something about poverty?

My friends and I can't seem to see any counter justification for not enforcing the Mexcan border (i.e. illegal immigrants and allowing trucks that can't be tracked or don't follow US standard safety policies).

On a legal standpoint, illegal immigrants are not legal, and technically don't have the rights that a citizen does. An illegal immigrant that steals a SSN is performing forgery, which is a crime (i.e. if I stole someone's SSN, I would be busted and face jail time).

If you argue that the US needs to have compassion, then why not start paying them more? In my hometown, Mexican migrants were picking berries for $1.00 a bucket. Why not pay illegal immigrants minimum wage and legalize them by reporting their employment (i.e. taxes), which is the humane wage we give to our own citizens (It's not that Americans don't want the jobs, they can't compete with the low wage + taxes)?

I would like to know other perspectives out there so that I can see other points of view.
