If you don’t like the vibe here, don’t comment or visit the blog. Fact is that you made an ignorant statement at the beginning and pissed people off. Welcome to the Internet. I could have not approved your comments in the first place, but I don’t roll like that. And from one whitey (me, Light-skinned Latino American citizen) to another (you), you might want to do more to control your anger and accept economic realities that without the so-called “illegals,” you wouldn’t have food on your plate. Peace.

Still got my point across. Did I not? Why is it when I have my opinion you don’t like it? I never said I hate Mexicans. I love the Spanish culture. But you have to sympathize with my point of view just for the simple fact if the shoe was on the other foot it would be a different story. If Mexico was a wonderful place to live and the US was like how Mexico is do you think the Mexican government would cater to my needs as they do for you here? Do you think they would introduce English to every call I made or pamphlet I read just because I push for it? Do you think they would allow me to be there illegally and work there? Do you think they would give me benefits if I were there illegally? Answer hell no they would lock me up and ship me back. Why should it be any different here??

I will comment to your foul mouth. When you speak of me as being “whitey” what does that say of you and your integrity? You wonder why your not welcome here? It’s because of your attitude towards “whitey”. Why do you want to live with “whitey”? I never pulled a race issue nor did I speak of your race in a foul way. Guess the Mod on this site likes abusive language from their so called brethren. As for spelling concerns. I don’t give a rats butt what you think. You do not know me or how I was raised on the streets and how I had to fight to just get an education. There is plenty of your race that still does not or pretends not to speak English in an English speaking country. Also to let you in on a little secret, I am Indian.. Dumb arss.

the Latinos on this page have a far better command of English than do you, whitey. Wonder why that is?

“The for-profit prisons in our land are not only for immigrants. One in 100 Americans is in prison and 1 in 9 African-American men is in prison (Latinos are over-represented, but the numbers are not always clear because until recently most states counted them as white.) As the prisons are privatized, profits are added as gains to the Gross Domestic Product, making it appear that our economy is doing well. It seems that the United States has gone from being the land of the free and the home of the brave to being the land of massive incarceration.” Houston Catholic Chronicle

And we are being told by our government that the economy is not that bad, and it is slowly improving. Gee, who’d figure a government would lie. Now just think what they could do with a fence around the entire country. Instead of being used to keep people out, they can use it to keep people in.

If you are someone like Tiscareno-Sato, you see good in all things, including art, thanks to her faith in Jesus.

If you interpret “art” from a racist point of view, well…

Just like art, there are different perspectives from different people. No one perspective is better than the other.

Julito only saw a white family thanking God and not giving thanks to the hard working migrant laborer for providing the food. Well here’s one white person saying THANKS for the sacrifices made by all migrant workers, documented and undocumented, in helping to provide the food so many people enjoy!
