This makes me feel like we aren't even considered human or equal. I have to applaud President Obama for facing this type of obstacle and fighting it head on in his speech to the Joint Session. Can't wait for health care reform to pass and finally CIR to take center stage. This despicable behavior by Rep. Wilson is foreshadowing the upcoming ugly and heated battle on immigration. It is going to be a good one.  |
It's simple, "illegal" immigrants are the modern black people of the 1900-1960's. (don't get me wrong here, I know black people had it a lot worse before the 20th century)
It's very simple to understand the mentality, what's hard is to understand
why someone thinks like that.
What sucks is that I know this whole health reform thing is going to look like a pebble compared to the magnitude of the Immigration debate. If the conservative liars of the country can come up with a hand full of lies that managed to get America fired up about something that's supposed to help
everyone(except undocumented immigrants)... what the helllll are they going to come up with when the debate is about something A LOT of people are already fired up about?
It's gonna be all out war... but if the debate reaches the media (cnn, msnbc, foxnews, etc..) I think we can consider the battle won, well not necessarily won the way we want it to be, but we will definitely win a reform. Why? because I can't recall a time when a president brought up a major plan and it didn't pass one way or the other. Even if they butcher the bills and change everything around, they'll get it through. Look at the Bush administration for example, nobody agreed with 90% of the shit they came up with during his time, but everything they really wanted still managed to go through. The real question now is, does the government really want a immigration reform?
p.s. - I know the Bush's immigration reform is an example of something that failed to pass, but I honestly don't think they wanted it to pass in the first place. Because like I said, when something is important enough they have it all blown up on the media, and they push for it until it passes, no matter what.
