yeowch! Yeah, folks gotta be careful with what they write on the internet or at least with what they put out publicly. If not, they just gotta be ready to face consequences. X3 yesh, f-locking/private-ing is good. X3

Although, ya also gotta really really trust your friends too. Some people love to gossip. ~_~

lol, to be honest, I haven't talked directly about the immigration reform bill on my livejournal. I have written about it in other people's journals on Deviantart and on livejournal. But basically, it's a silly bill. Very unrealistic. There have been two almost opposite revised versions of the bill. One which favors the immigrants, and one that really doesn't. XD;

Either way, I'm just really insulted that the House of Rep. passed the first bill. It's so insulting to everybody's intelligence that I can't help but wonder if these guys were high when they voted on it.

The bill has several things, but the ones that have scandalized a lot of pro-immigration folks are three things: Making illegal entry a felony (right now it's a misdemeanor) and thus criminalizing immigrants who all come here to work and provide for their families. (Dude! Do they know how much that would burden our criminal justice system?!)

The second thing is it would force any person who aids an illegal immigrant (from giving them shelter to riding in a car with them, no joke) to go through the criminal process (ie. go to jail or pay heavy fines).

The third thing is building a huge wall on the US/Mexico border. This is just retarded. A physical wall isn't going to help keep illegals or terrorists out. It's just gonna make people distrust eachother more.

I dunno, right now there is a rather anti-immigrant sentiment going through the nation. Some of it's cuz of 9-11 and some of it's cuz of the economy.

*accidently posted before finishing*

In conclusion, it has been decided that illegal immigrants will play the role of scapegoats in this year's politics.

*shrugs* oh well, what can ya do against the misinformed or prejudist? X3
