IMHO There are lots of "Americans" that ridiculously play to be Uncle's Sam friends, but forget their roots in Central American countries.
I just saw the other day, some guy that was born near the border with Mexico, that clearly shows that his native tongue was Spanish for the accent when he answered the interview. I couldn't believe what my eyes were watching, since this guy, with spanish accent, and mexican look, was saying that inmigration law should be even more drastic, and that he was one of the men that call themselves "Minuteman", that guard the border on their own, armed with sniper rifles, authorized by the US goverment to protect the border, even at cost of inmigrants lifes.
I was amazed how poeple don't recognize their roots... at some point that guy's family should have crossed the border, or at least were part of the people caught in, when US took over New Mexico and all domain up north of Rio Grande. He once was mexican too, or t least his predecesors were. THAT WAS A MEXICAN IN "GRINGO'S" DISGUISE SHOOTING AT HIS OWN PEOPLE, BUT HE WAS CONVINCED HE WAS A TRUE AMERICAN, ARMED AND PROTECTING THE BORDER.
Putting that issue aside, I believe that US goverment is being hipocrat, since if they could execute (and I´m sure they can) all actions tendent to erradicate illegal's from their grounds, they would be totally ruined. They know that most of the jobs taken by inmigrants, legal o illegal, wouldn't be performed by their own.
So, the only thing inmigration law is intended for, is to be a weapon to gain electoral power in america's mind, because they are entering a phase of unemployement, that hasn't been controlled, and people on the streets are blaming inmigrants for takig jobs that should be for americans... but what they don't think is that inmigrants are so succesfull because they do things that no american would do, and the only thng that would happen if all inmigrants were sent away, is that american economý would collapse, since all those task illegals do, wouldn't be fulfilled by americans, leading to an economical crash that few consider when blaming those who do them.
HOPE MY ENGLISH DOESN'T SUCK THAT MUCH, BUT THIS ISSUE REALLY GETS ME! THNX Desde_La_Usa for bringing it up
