Christmas is a lonely time for many Latino migrants

Miguel Perez-Phoenix Civil Rights Examiner
Phoenix Examiner - December 25, 2010

Phoenix resident Maria Moldonado came to the United States three years ago. She was working at a restaurant and got fired after an immigration rade. "I am sick of people telling me that I am illegal," she states. Arizona was a part of Mexico long before White people stole it." Ms. Moldonano, a single mother, has been forced to move herself and her three children into a homeless shelter. "They treat us like crap her. We get cheap government food and are often cold."

Erin Cavallo, an undocument student in the Maricopa Community College District, lives in a storage area just outside of Phoenix. "I live in a box. It's uncomfortable, but I have to do what I need to in order to survive." Ms. Cavallo plans to finish her school work and wants to become a nurse, but is being prevented from doing so because of her immigration status.

2010 was supposed to be the year of immigration reform. "There has been a lot of screaming, but nothing has happened," says David Valdez of Take Back Aztlán. "In 2011, we will protest and do what it takes to stand for our migrant workers." Mr. Valdez admits that with the Repubicans taking over Congress, positive steps towards immigration reform will be difficult.

I'd encourage everyone to leave a comment for the author when you have time. Someone in Phoenix may actually read this garbage.

Unlike you've ever seen before, Mr. Valdez!

"I am sick of people telling me that I am illegal," she states. Arizona was a part of Mexico long before White people stole it."

This says it all in a nutshell. It seems to me more and more they are making it a race war between the Illegal Mexican Community and the Legal White American Community.

Cheap government food? Thats more then any of us probably get from the government? If your cold, I hear Mexico is warmer this time of year.

Then the old whine about "arizona was part of Mexico before".... yah how many years ago was that? She didn't live in mexico since then of course or she'd be a legal citizen.

Needa let her know immigration reform is comming and soon... just not the reform she is hoping for. Maybe she can run home to mexico and cry for reform there.

Our problem is that until the Demos got clobbered because they weren't listening to the anxiety of jobless Americans and Americans fearful of becoming jobless, both parties were working the Open Borders, Come And Get It ploy. Repubs got cheap labor, Demos got undocumented Democrats. To that, add active encouragement by the Mexican government. That government dumps its problems on us and, as a bonus, gets major remittance dollars pumped into its economy.

Since there's apparantly no sense of social justice in Mexico, uneducated illegals probably don't even know that we bought that land. What they do know is that they can get jobs here. Lamar Smith's announced program of increasing E-Verify and worksite enforcement will begin to undermine the sense on entitlement that illegals so obviously carry around with them.

Americans first in this magnificent country

American jobs for American workers

Fair trade, not free trade

"I am sick of people telling me that I am illegal," she states. Arizona was a part of Mexico long before White people stole it."

Americans didn't steal Arizona. Americans settled Arizona, along with several other states, Americans also fought and won a war with Mexico over these territories, and then after signing a treaty with Mexico after winning the war, WE PAID MEXICO for these territories. Americans didn't live in shelters provided by Mexican charity or eat your food your government paid for either. We worked, settled, fought, won and paid for every state of the United States, you ignorant trespasser.

People tell you you're illegal because you're in our country in violation of our laws. Your presence here in violation of our laws, taking up space in our homeless shelters that are there to help Americans who need shelte, eating the food paid for to feed hungry Americans is stealing.

That makes you the whining loser thief, Ms. Moldonado. Neither you nor your 3 children are welcome here, and you will all be going home to live in a Mexican homeless shelter, eat Mexican paid government food and/or work in a Mexican restaurant or some other Mexican establishment. You can either go home the easy way on your own or the hard way under a Deportation.

And you exemplify the reason Americans stood up and fought to defeat the Dream Act. You think we want your 3 children to be put on a pathway to US citizenship? Raised by a whining, prideless, mooching, criminal, ungrateful, ignorant and arrogant mother who violated our laws, stole an American job, mooched off our charities and public assistance and thinks we stole Arizona?! NO FRIGGING WAY.
