Seriously!!

So i was reading this morning an article on the newest law passed by a county close to of all places Washington DC and realized ... seriously do we always have to realize something when it comes to problems with race, immigration and naturalization? NO! What I've experienced is that many times people don't express their true sentiments about undocumented immigration and create a xenophobic sentiment that keeps growing and growing. Through conservative media outlets like Fox people really help the problem grow exponentially...without really checking the truth under every piece of information available. Here's an example. I mean first of all no one anywhere in this world should be treated as an ILLEGAL person. Yes many of these folks came to this country illegally but so did many Jews throughout the Holocaust, so did many others during the great depression and what wouldn't we just call the pilgrims illegal since the lands belonged to the Indians? I'm not a politically correct person and don't live my life that way either, actually i tend to irritate many people just by opening my mouth; but i do recognize the difference in semantics and words. Nobody is ILLEGAL... you could be UNDOCUMENTED and in this country everyone is an immigrant: whether you're a redneck, a Jew, a Latino, black... everyone came from someone that came from somewhere!!! WTF!
