WE LOVE IMMIGRANTS

Today I read an article about how hate groups are increasing membership by focusing on immigration issues....

Let's all grow up, become a little less ignorant and look at the facts and history.


1) unless your family was here pre1776, you're from a long line of immigrants...


2) although politcs and the media like to fan this sort of thing, immigration as it is presented (as a danger) is frankly a nonissue. They are not taking jobs, they are not draining healthcare, and most are here legally, in fact.

3) see point one....honestly, I thought we were over this whole race thing... the lies and baseless fear that stems from this, and the mindless ignorant masses that blindly follow, makes me sick.  Immigration is perhaps one of the most economically and culturally enriching phenomenon....so let's get over it and move along to the many other more important topics that need addressing....


thank you.
