Man a lot of people showed up for that! I heard that the US was supposed to shut down that day. But I guess it didn't since everything seemed to be running. I like the sign in the second to last picture. Yeah I won't get all political with my comments now.
i have been with my husband now for 5 years. he is from mexico,and has come to th is country to work, and send money back home to help his mother with her family there. my husband first arrived here when he was 16 years old. i think for a child of 16 years to cross an illegal border,risking being shot is very brave. his goal was to get over here,work his ass off to provide food, clothing,and shelter for his sisters back home. he did not come to fight,or for drugs,or to in any way disgrace his country. we have 3 beautiful-bilingual children who experience both cultures. i believe if people from different countries can make it over here to america,safe...then they should be allowed to stay. it is not their fault that the mexican government, and american government complain about illegal immagants being here,when they are the ones who allow them to come here.
If the mexican government would create a country for all hispanics to be able to support there families, then maybe they would stay there. you think all the young boys like leaving school and their families, to come into a new world,knowing noone here,! no!!! but they do it because they have to. the mexican government has taken jobs away. they have taken even minimum pay away from the hispanics.
they work their buts off just to provide food for their families. then theres clothing,shelter,school costs,books for school, and you cant even see a doctor if your on your death bed,without paying.my husbands mother has had childbirths in her home with only the help of her children and husband, because of no money for a docter, or nurse to even make sure the baby comes out ok. i understand that there are many other countries with less than the hispanics,but why arent we as americans who can make as much as $20-$30-$40 dollars an hour be able to help them???
we brag about how free our countrie is and how well we all are,the money and the things that make us a great countrie,but why are we being thoughtless and greedy??? you throw away left-overs after dinner time,forcing homeless people to feed their hunger through our garbage cans. then you scolde them for touching our things,or being dirty,or nasty,for rummaging through the garbage.
i feel very strongly about helping people in need,and those families over there in mexico are in need. we take the smallest things here for granted, when tose little things to us... are what they look forward to. now im not saying everone over there is like that,but if there werent so many then why do we, as americans, have over 11 million illegal immagrants here? i agree that our country is very over populated,but ask yourself why they are leaving their homes and families to come here!
the question is not 'how do we get them to leave"? the question should be "how do we get them to want to leave"? we want them to want to be in their country,and with their families. i want them to feel sasfe, and comfortable in their lifestyles of the countrie that no matter how cruel it is to them... they still support mexico!!!
all im saying, is that if the government works together from both countries, maybe we can all be "home", where we should be!
