I have a plan!

Comment from reply to "Lou Dobbs to quit CNN"


[This only proves the power we immigrants have. People started organizing to bring Dobbs down and we did it!

Imagine if we start pushing for the reform!

The USA is made out of Immigrants (from all countries). Contrary to what many will say, chances are very high that they have friends or even family who live here in the need of the reform and to prove it one just needs to look at their backgrounds to know what part of the world their roots came from.

So if we start pushing for it we can make it happen a lot faster than waiting I am sure!.

I came to USA when I was 14 and turned 15 two weeks after being here, I am now 24 and in 6 months I will be 25. I can't afford to wait so much to be able to study. In the end I want to make the USA better, but I can't help to realize how shady reality is.

The USA needs immigrants because or else it will doom itself beyond belief. Major city skylines have been built by immigrants including NYC where WOP's (without papers) Italians worked in construction building sites such as the Empire State Building or the former Twin Towers.

It is very disrespectful to me that some people turn a blind eye to us when they definitely know better.

The answer to end the economic problems of the USA is in alternative energy and ending the dependency in foreign energy. By doing that a constant work force will be created that no-one will be able to outsource, unless we let them!.

Now, I am 24. I've always dreamed of becoming a president or someone that could help the system because that interests me a lot and fulfills me as a person, but I cant help to think that I am 24 and getting older.

I love the USA because it is the "melting pot" of the world. So many people from different walks of life walk these streets and have stories to share that would enhance everyones life to know them.

The USA has gained it's reputation (the good one) from people who made it here and contribute to help the world at large. I feel so abandoned and uncared for. I want to be a part of it, I want to be heard, I want to study and help people but I can't because those who have the power to help me seem to have forgotten me, the kid who is dying for a chance to shine.

Therefor my idea is that we start organizing better and campaign our own agenda like we did with Dobbs and demand that we be taking into account.

After all Multinational companies do not have borders when they pay people low incomes in other parts of the world and sell them here for very high profit, so why should we have barriers when there is a free market being even enforced against will in other nations?

If the USA wants to stay a good nation they should accept us all and give us room to contribute, millions of dollars are being stolen from the IRS by employers who instead of doing the right thing and paying the tax they take from ur stub (even when ur status is not perfect) they kep it for themselves and the system suffers.

I will be bluntly honest with all of you and say that I do not wish to become an ignorant person in the USA and have kids here who will be asked to fight (war) for a country that turned their eyes to the other side when I desperately needed them to give me a chance. I will not stand for it.

Corporate laws are very corrupted right now and hence the problems that we are in as a country. The USA needs ME and YOU to become experts in law and people of good will who will help shape the future, so the nation will be better off than today.

Can we star campaigning for immigration reform like we did against the racist remarks of Lou Dobbs? It can make a world of difference to let people in power know that we mean business and that;

1) WE DO NOT WANT TO SLEEP AND LIVE OFF CHARITY.

2) WE WANT TO BECOME A WORKING RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE PART OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

3) THE USA WILL BENEFIT GREATLY FROM OUR HELP AND INFLUENCE IN OUR RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES OF ORIGIN. (Not that too many don't know this already.)]

well thought out! I absolutely agree. We need to REALLY MOBILIZE ourselves and educate people about the Dream Act. You know, there have been a lot of threads and talk on the DA portal about coming together, sending letters to the Hill on a certain date next year, call representatives and senators, BUT we really need someone to ORGANIZE all of us as a cohesive group.

We need something where we can all communicate with each other easier and again, keep us organize and responsive to attacks from people against the Dream Act.

We need to take the streets of Washington DC next summer

We need to focus on getting acquainted with potential senator sponsors... networking anyone?
