how many here are of non-european decent ... by that i mean non-white. sorry this is not a racist thing, but i ask solely for the reason that the pro-illegal side seems to think we're made up only of whites. we're not. i know we're not, and we know this too. the problem is that the other side is very fond of playing the racist card. because of what i know I feel it important to disarm them of this false argument at every turn.

before i go on any further i'll explain my ethnicity (not that it is important to us, but only to clarify based on what i've stated). my father is chinese, and my mother is spanish. they met here in the US, and both were here legally. my father was a dishwasher and mom a college student. it was real simple. mom loved chinese food and my dad loved women. they fell in love and married shortly after that. both applied for and gained their citizenship. I will not let the fact that they both worked their asses off to give my sister and I everything only to have someone else cheat them and their efforts.

the purpose of this thread is a call to arms. this is a call to each and every sngle one of us to not only make a differnece here, but within our own communities.

yes, i've pissed off a great many in my communities. then again most of them fell to the facts that i've repeatedly brought to the table and argued in favor of.

ok .. i'm done ranting * steps down from soapbox *
