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 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 (:

honestly, i think its b*llshit. i resent illegal immigrants, partly because my dad had to work his ass off to come here legally. my mom and dad were separated for 1.5 years because my mom had to wait for her greencard after she was married. what makes all the illegals think they can hop the border and then petition for legality? its b*llshit! there are tons of people who have been waiting for years ahead of you, payed so much more than you, and still been rejected? help the economy? sure, i guess. but do they not think that we would have found other people assume those jobs without them? good f.cking lord. i'm so pissed off about that. i'm also pissed off at the government for providing illegal immigrants w. so many facilities. you know they don't ask for you ss or alien # to be enrolled in school? i agree, that certain circumstances compell a person to come here illegally, but do you think you're the only one? all the immigrants that were here legally were in much the same position as you, worked their f.cking asses off the pay the immigration fees, lived in those conditions till they were accepted, immigrated to a new country w. no connections, and worked their f.cking asses to make it in this county. example? my dad. what makes you so f.cking special. *glare* the immigration laws, imo, need to be stricter. if you think about it, most caucasian and asians don't even have a problem even though they're immigrants. know why? because US accepts most of them as student visa's first. why? because they only accept the smart ones and let them work ONLY AFTER they've completed their education or have choosen to pursue higher education. moral of the story? don't hike your ass here without having means to provide for yourself legally.
