I'm just wondering, did anyone on cB hear about this? Cause i just heard of this like yesterday. And im just curious of what you guys think of it, and if you support the protesters or the government kinda people.. America would be like nothing without immigrants, and i think this is wrong. As for me, i'm not going to school on Monday ![]() |

I agree, the US would be nothing without immigrants. My grandmother came over here in the 1950's after escaping from East Germany at the end of the war.
But, I have a problem with all of the illegal immigrants, which are mostly Mexicans. (I'm not racist, btw.) Here in Florida, they mostly work in the fields picking fruit and produce. Some of them work for landscape companies and construction companies. Around here, where I live, almost all of the illegal immigrants dont speak english, and live in run down houses or trailers, because they send all of their money back home (but they get food stamps and assistance). And, they send their children to our public schools... most of them cant even speak english. I have no probelms with the ones that are here legally, but I dont think the ones that broke the law and entered the U.S. illegally should be rewarded with citizenship. |
