I'm not angry with my parents. I just know that if I was old enough to understand at the time we moved, I would have made a different choice. Some people here, there were no other available choices, so I understand that. But with me, I could've stayed in my home country until high school then just came here on a student visa, or I could've gotten sponsored by a family member to immigrate to Canada. Those options are unavailable to me now at this time and age, now when I know what being "illegal" really means. But anyway, really, there's no point in playing the blame game, it is what it is. I just don't like it when people blame the U.S.

yeah.... an illegal cuban its sort of an oxymoron, but look at the little havana in Miami, mostly cubans. Walk into a supermarket there and some of you might be terrified. Its like http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/?page_id=9798
all mixed into every supermarket you walk into in Little Havana, with less space to walk through and a ton more people and shopping carts that are not the stores own and most rusting or in really bad condition, and loud, and it smells, ohh the smells, its mostly the ton of onions with all those vegetables and fruits sitting very close to the entrance..

really now, I think a lot of the pictures from the link above seem rather normal and sane compared to what I have seen... Chongas are the most hilarious.

My spanish sucks, I could never write a paper in Spanish nontheless even speak it correctly. Why cant you just let me stay, I work hard, I dont get introuble, yet you let criminals and drop outs stay" FUCK you.

Thats my Rage.


Sometimes i just sit in my room wondering why we are all in this situation, were all good kids. Yet were in a country were we DID NOT pick to come, and are told that we dont belong even though we lived here our whole life. I now see why every other country talks so bad about America.
I agree and can relate completely 100%. We deserve to stay. I can't even imagine going back to Mejico. We definitely have the stronger argument here because we have fairness and equality on our side. The opposition only has nothing but hate and stupidity. I don't call racism, because then I'll be lying, and we do not need to lie like the opposition does to gain support.

Stay positive

most cubans I've known look down on illegals,,,sad but true
