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 happy.gif My teachers are also not going to school either. Oh and im not sure if this topic should belong here or not. So if it doesn't belong, feel free to move (:

For goodness sake! This isn't about booting immigrants, it's about making them LEGAL. The sense I get from the news is that the majority of people haven't even read the friggin bill. mad.gif

By all means, correct me if I'm wrong.

The whole thing is just really stupid. Nobody knows why they are protesting or what the bill even says. I read the bill, not just the summary of the bill but the actual bill. It's not called HR 4437 - Anti-Immigration Bill. Its called HR 4437 Anti-Terrorism & Illegal Smuggling Bill. It was never to hinder or stop immigration to America. It was to stop terrorism and smuggling narcotics and contraband. They're also cracking down on illegal immigrants that have criminal records. Thats why most hispanics that actually saw the bill are mad. But they are mad for the wrong reason.
