My wife and I came to the States 10 years ago (april 20/1996) under a tourist visa. We were really tourists on vacation at that time, and Marsha (my wife) was 3 months pregnant. First thing we noticed different when we left the airport was the cleanness of the streets, and people walking safelly on the streets untill 1, 2 am... very different of our country (Brazil, by the way) where criminallity, corruption, and a whole lot of bad things happen eadch and every day. Thanks :wink: [/b]
Firstly, I am struck by how disingenuous your letter is. You try to give the impression that you came here without any intention of staying here. I doubt many readers find this plausible. You talk of corruption and violence in your country. Do you have any idea what a violent place Long Island has become because of people coming here from Latin America?! The newspapers are full of stories every day of gang violence-Salvadoran, Honduran and others- of gang-rape initiations, drug-dealing etc, etc.
Yes, you are a human being, and your children deserve the best life you can give them in your own country. That is YOUR responsibility, not ours. We are not responsible for the fact that you Latin Americans fouled your own nests-politically, economically, culturally, environmentally. Most of your countries are run by corrupt dictators, but is that our problem? That does not in any way excuse your coming here illegally.You most certainly are an invader and furthermore, your attitude of entitlement is obnoxious. I was once liberal about immigration, but too many of you feel free to come to my home and setup housekeeping here. I resent it and if I could force you to return to your own country I would do it in a heartbeat. We already have hordes of uneducated and unskilled people in the US. Let's put a stop now to any kind of visit visas for Latin Americans. How would you feel if your towns and villages were suddenly populated by gringos? How would you feel if your school districts, your hospitals were bankrupted by foreigners who avail themselves of every social program and scream about their rights in English, not Portuguese or Spanish? How would you feel if the children of those foreigners competed with your own children for limited funds and grants for higher education? Your letter is arrogant and thoughtless. A few years ago I sponsored a European immigrant the legal way- it took about a year, it cost some money, but it was done the right way. You, on the other hand, have broken into my home, and I condemn your act. We don't need you to work construction here for some scumbag who doesn't even check your papers.

Apparently not too welcome. Posts deleted faster round these parts than at FR it seems. And all for telling the truth. I guess our founders weren't heroes after all?

Don't feel alone - I've have posts edited. The sad, but true, thing is that we can't allow anything here that can be used against us. So, words should be chosen carefully to tell the truth. Read other posts - you'll see that people can express themselves without getting edited.
