A day without immigrants
Okay so today was a day without immigrants, and being that my roomate and most of my other close friends are immigrants from latin america I decided to join in and support their cause. They decided to wear all white today, symbolizing purity, peace, and equality. Also deciding that they should remain silent all day made their impact a hundred times greater. They were going to skip classes, but after my recomendation that actually going to class would be more effective they did. I'm really proud of these girls. They are in a small southern school and still stood up for their rights. I wore a white ribbon around my wrist all day, and it's still there, and also got in touch with a major houston latino radio station on their behalf, 3 of these girls are from houston texas hence the houston radio station. It was abit odd being a southern white girl calling this huge radio station but they took me seriously and said that they were really glad to see that I was supporting them, and that i wanted to make public what my friends were doing to contribute to the cause. Not only did we represent Mexico, but also El Salvador, Greece, India, Ukraine, and also a few islanders. I really hope people don't forget this isn't just about hispanics, but immigrants from all over the world. Making it a federal offense to help someone out is selfish, and pathetic. People shouldn't be pissy about the spanish version of the american star spangled banner either, if these people are willing to be patriotic about the united states, we should quit being such jack asses (mainly white folks....) and let them be patriotic. They fight in our army, they pick our food, let these people feed their families, and stop being hypocrites.
K, I think im done ranting now.
