'American' isn't the way a person looks...


They say history repeats itself... well look at us! Making history once again. When will "those in charge" (and those who feel some kind of superiority because they are American realize that they aren't God?

And let me remind every natural born citizen that you got lucky (and I use that term loosely) to be born here. You could have been any one of these people trying to make a better life for themselves. And that's all it is, making a better life--that's everyone's right no matter where you are from.

Most of all, what really get's my blood boiling is how these INS agents get away with treating immigrants. Uh, last time I checked, whether they are American or not, you are still American, therefore you abide by the American laws which honor the right of the human being! Once our rights as humans interfere with the human rights and well being of others, we are in the wrong. I believe abusing these people like animals falls into that category.

I'm just completely disgusted with the level of barbarism being displayed on the west and south coast right now. It's just not right...

Not just the superiority and barbarism you talked about, but it's superiority again! yes again ... the superiority of profiling each immigrant image according to his/her race! and the superiority of defining their destiny according to the ''american'' standard.
