honestly, i feel that a lot of the people that did protest weren't even 100% sure what exactly it was they were protesting for. if you guys watched the news, the achors were taking the opinions of random people, and a lot of them were totally independent of each other. some even conflicted.
that being said, does it even make sense for them to all be protesting together? most of the 'hype' isn't about immigrants. no one's arguing that america doesn't need immigrants. hell, most of this countries population is here because of immigration. whether it was last generation, or ten before. its the illegal immigrant issue that's causing most of the controversy. the other part comes from squawking idiots that don't even know what they're talking about thereby causing confusion. thanks dumbasses. *rolls eyes* .agiri |

QUOTE(Spirited Away @ May 5 2006, 3:24 PM)  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. Sorry about that. I wasn't clear on what I was trying to say. I wasn't attacking immigrants. 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.
