Does anyone here honestly think that politicians deserve a break on not doing shit, because they have the "right" to choose to worry about their careers instead? I mean we all know they have the right and it seems like they already practice that right, but should we really give them a break for it? I mean thats the kind of attitude that keeps people suppressed.

Who cares what their motives are. Just focus on what you need to do. Fight for what you want and deserve. |

Granted, most of us did not commit any crime nor are we morally responsible for our undocumented immigration status. Like you, there is a special place in my heart for those who oppress us, call us names, accuse us, and destroy us, for reasons which we had no control over. I feel wronged and pray each day that God will bring swift justice for us and to them. I feel your frustration.
But
My point is that yes we are being served injustice, but even in the midst of all this undeserved BS, we must not lose dignity. Always be civil even during civil disobedience. At the end of this whole fiasco, and I guarantee you that Dream Act will pass sooner or later, we must remain blameless and faultless till the end. Don't give the devil a foothold.
