In the early 1980s, moving to the U.S. meant that I could speak freely. As a journalist in Mexico, I was censored. Moreover, the U.S. provided me with a job and economic opportunities that I couldn’t have found anywhere else. With boundless generosity, America protected me and granted me the same rights as any other citizen, even though I was an immigrant. I work here. I vote here. My children were born here.
All I want is for new immigrants to enjoy the same opportunities that I—and millions of others throughout American history—have received. But for the moment, Trump is making that impossible.
quote:
A couple of days after the president signed an executive order announcing that a wall would be built along the Mexican border, he issued a directive that radically changes deportation priorities in this country. Now, anyone who “committed acts that constitute a chargeable criminal offense” may be deported, even if they were never convicted. Also, immigrants who have committed “fraud … before a government agency” are to be deported as well — which presumably applies to any noncitizen who has ever used a fake driver’s license or made up a Social Security number in order to work.
quote:
I came to the U.S. in 1983. If Reagan had crafted an arbitrary ban similar to Trump’s and included Mexico, I wouldn’t be here, all on account of an unjust decision. People from those seven countries are being arbitrarily punished, along with refugees from the rest of the world. They are being discriminated against merely because they were born in the wrong country.
As the old saying goes, powerful nations are judged not by how they treat the rich and influential, but by their solidarity with the weak and vulnerable. The U.S. had a rich and storied history of accepting and supporting immigrants with open arms—until Trump arrived.

In their minds, it is perfectly acceptable for those illegally here to forge these documents.
Hopefully it bites these morons in the arse.

He can take his arse back to Mexico if he doesn't like it.

Ramos isn't a journalist he's an activist. His opinions don't matter.

This is laughable. Everyone in the world does not have a right to come to the US and become a citizen.

Not really, dipshit, since it is a ban as to SEVEN countries.

Even Reagan made mistakes.

I wonder if the founders would recognize it
Or even the likes of Calvin Coolidge or Eisenhower

The problem is powerful nations don't stay powerful when they give the weak too much power.

So it's a bad thing that we expect immigrants not to break laws? Crazy thing is that we expect that of our legal citizens too.

Ugh. Reading this makes my head hurt. You mean Trump is actually requiring immigrants to become legal citizens?

..And the problem is???
Here's the deal with Trump.....if you are a legal citizen or become a legal citizen you have nothing to worry about. If you have no intention on becoming a legal American citizen, then you run the risk of being deported. AND THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE.

I am so tired of people acting like this isn't a big deal. I keep hearing leftists say this over and over again, like making fake documents or stealing a SSN is perfectly fine.
