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 (:

I think that this whole immigration thing is being blown way out of proportion. No sane person is saying all immigration is bad; the political fervor is mostly centered around illegal immigrants.

Uh, hello? I am an immigrant, and you don't see me protesting. In fact, I agreed with agiri's opinion about the whole thing. All immigrants protesting, huh? I hope you see what I mean now about the hype and "people" generalizing legals with illegals. |

Just mentioning why there was a big generalization legals with illegals. I apologize. What I meant to say was the public is generalizing all immigrants because you have these huge protests across the nation makin a big deal about the bill. The spotlight was originally on illegal immigration. But then with people protesting, the public started throwing all immigrants in the same boat. Legal and illegal. Again, Im sorry Spirited Away.
