    I love your courage. She is so young and still have all her life before her. My advice is that she does everything right to get a legal stay in the USA. Sentiments will not win over the rule of law. Her father made a sacrifice for them by breaking the law, she doesn’t have to do the same. I would want to live in the USA but I can never willingly break the law, so I either figure out a legal way or remain where I am. Luckily my children are born in the USA and can always return.

      And you can fight for those rights in Latin America! The USA doesn’t owe you anything! Take your demands to those 19 Spanish speaking countries. Tell them you deserve those rights ! You have no right to sneak into our country and to violate our sovereignty! You need to change your country we don’t need to change our immigration laws .

    • @iAteUrToast
      @iAteUrToast 5 лет назад +7

      EvilEddy I’m not saying every person that speaks Spanish should come here. That’s not what I’m saying at all. All I’m saying is why is it such a bad thing when we do come here (& the only difference is we speak Spanish) but when an American decides to migrate to another country it’s all fine and dandy. So shouldn’t those Americans be told “go back to your country?”

    • @iAteUrToast
      @iAteUrToast 5 лет назад +6

      EvilEddy you forget that this country not yours to begin with. Colonization is a magical thing. Also, why are you assuming that I want this country to change their immigration laws? All I want is acceptance of immigrants. That’s all I want.

    I see how Mexican Americans discriminate against illegals and recent immigrants. My mom and her family crossed the border and went to Chicago. They were discriminated against by Mexicans who had been there. My grandfather had paid a coyote to take them across. My great-grandfather was a bracero in the 1940s and was given Social Security and to this day my great grandmother gets money from his pension.

      I'm Mexican-American and it's crazy how some of us are discriminating against our own people.. Like?? We are Mexicans too are we not? Every time I see my family talk bad about these Mexicans that aren't from here I can't help but feel so upset because they just want to come here for a better life. Yes, we had the privlige to be born here but can't you put yourself in their shows? Granted, some immigrants are bad people but, most of these immigrants are women and children who are just looking for a better life. It irritates me that some of us are discriminating towards our own just because they're a little different than us by not being born in America, even though we are the same.

It's basically a statement saying "I'm Mexican, and I'm not a criminal, I graduated and am going to college. I'm a Mexican and I never sold drugs, stole, or killed someone, look at me. I'm a FUCKIN MEXICAN and did the opposite of what white people want me to do." That's why.

    So what u dont realize is u can get a better future at ur own country if u try, immigration is a slow poison for the people of the country, for every job an immigrant from(lets say mexico to america) gets, dat is one jobless american, so where is the justice here, i know u guys had hard times but u cant put ur burden on some stranger and at the same time expect from the stranger respect and welcome. Everything that luk goods ain't always good. Immigration is humanitarian and allowing is humane but at the same time the original inhabitants struggle for jobs, lands for home not only with their people but now with immigrants(numbering to idk from the 90's to 2019 how many immigrants)
