"Bush My Mexican Son Died in Iraq"


Immigrant rally
People gather at Union Park for a march to Daley Plaza Friday to protest H.R. 4437, a bill approved in the U.S. House of Representatives that would drastically strengthen immigration enforcement, including the construction of a wall along the Mexican border.

3. Aren't they doing this in other South/Central American countries as well?
As well as Pacific Island U.S. territories...

4. That's bizaare at the very least. Good enough to die in Iraq...
but not good enough to stay otherwise.

¿Nuestro presidente es un cristiano? También lo era Adolf Hitler. ¿Qué podemos decir a nuestros jóvenes, ahora que las personalidades psicopáticas, es decir, personas sin consciencia, sin el sentimiento de lástima o vergüenza, han acopiado todo el dinero de las tesorerías de nuestro gobierno y corporaciones, y lo han hecho todo suyo?

5. The late Roman Empire resorted to this as well.
When the citzenry abdicate their own participative democracy, the void is filled with fascism.

2. See this is where I have a real problem
I wonder if those who are so opposed to the Mexicans stealing their jobs want to join up and stand alongside these brave soldiers as they literally risk their lives to be a citizen of this country.
I wish they would ask themselves if they are so patriotic, why aren't they standing a post in Iraq or Afghanistan next to the immigrants--illegal or otherwise.

8. 2 unrelated issues.. they accepted a job for a reward legally.. they
understood a legal documented arrangement and were willing to take the risk to become paid mercenary's in an illegal and immoral war.

on the other hand ..'undocumented foreign citizens' break the law and want to be rewarded..

if i broke the law here or god forbid in mexico, i wouldn't be able to keep anything acquired in the commission of a crime. and i dont believe that any foreign citizen that crossed the boarder without going through the legal process is actually confused about the legality of what they did.

instead of changing their own corrupt countries problems for themselves and their fellow countrymen they they try to play the system here... our corrupt country is encouraging this because it will flood the nation with desperate people and lower the wages and break the unions.

i really feel for the poverty that mexico is outsourcing to the US, they are pawn in a cruel game between 2 evil Fascist nations. there have been about 26,000,000 american jobs sent to Mexico by NAFTA, that is nearly 10% of the population of mexico and there is nearly another 10% of mexico that has migrated here legal and illegally.. this cant go on for ever.. without serious problems for our disappearing economy and a serious backlash for the migrants.. this is the largest migration of peoples in the history of the world, and they are over simplifying the situation to emotionalize the situation

the situation is being emotionalized to cover up the facts..

Q. Did you serve in Iraq?

A. No! I wanted to serve, but some illegal alien took my spot!
