Yes, I'm the first to admit that I am an adamant supporter of immigration reform, making it possible for people to come to the US to work their butts off and follow the American Dream, and giving those already in this country who have lived by the rules a path to citizenship. But I also realize others have different views and I try to repsect that.
The political debates are good, but there is something else happening in this country - HATE! No, not the kind used when I say I hated Dubya or my friend Marc tells me how he hates Obama. I mean the kind that causes anger and resentment to build and ultimately manifests itself in people being able to condone pure evil. Sounds like Islamic terrorists - doesn't it?
But it's happening right here by supposed "Patriots" against US citizens.
We must fight this!

Posted by Kevin at February 15, 2011 04:39 PMI so worry about the prevalence of hate in our culture today, esp. around immigrants. In the city next door to us, the police dept is under federal investigation because they have allegedly been harrassing people who appear Latino (eg pulling them over when driving, without real cause). It makes me afraid and furious to think my son will have to deal with such things.
Posted by: sjbj at February 17, 2011 12:22 PMI too worry about this issue and I believe I too live next too the same city at the previous post. I have stopped doing any business in that city for fear.
