In Latina Lista’s blog on September 27,2010 she talks about a poll in four Texas newspapers. This is al due to Arizona’s new immigration law and how people feel. I agree with the polls and it does not surprise me to much. Texas is so close to the Mexican border that it is not surprising. Most of the people in Texas were from Mexico before the Spanish-American War in the late 1800s. I mean if I lived in Texas and had ancestors in Mexico, I would feel the same. Now I am not a supporter of illegal immigration to this country. Back in the days of Ellis Island, our ancestors came across the Atlantic and were properly listed in the United States. For any person who does immigrate legally, I support them. I am a believer in the American dream and support anyone going after it, but please do it the legal way. That’s all I ask. As for the comment in the blog from the three comments in the newspaper article, I believe that if a person watches a liberal news station they should watch Fox or another conservative station. Most of the news is slanted one way or the other, there is no real balance. Therefore to gain the whole perspective mix the news and then form an opinion. I have been in a disagreement between Fox conservatives and ABC liberals and the conclusion is that both sides don’t have the whole picture and need to mix both views to gain the real issues and information. With this maybe some people won’t say such ignorant thing such as in the blog where the comment states that illegal immigrants are “eating better and driving better car than us on our dollar.” This blog did not surprise me. This is America. This is a land of diversity and every person and state is different. I think we all need to mix up our lives and throw political opinions to the side and make desicions for ourselves.
I agree with you that immigrants should be coming across the border legally. It is only fair since the rest of the immigrants that came through Elis Island had to go through so much to get into the country. I do not have a problem with people coming over into the United States because it is a great place to live; there is so much that is offered here that is not available elsewhere. People who hop over the border without going through the proper process are breaking rules and if they if they start breaking rules coming into the country what is to say that they will not continue breaking the rules.
