That's not Immigration Day its like Mexican whiner day. They really need to get it that Immigration is not a Mexican thing people form everywhere in the world have and do immigrate here. But no mention of their struggles, or the struggles of all of the legal immigrants from all over not just Mexico. RACISTS!!
Work Harder Millions on Welfare Depend on You!
