What kind of nation destroys its own families? Why undocumented parents and workers in the United States are being imprisoned instead of given a chance to legalize their immigration status? This video has some answers.
There was a rally yesterday in front of the White House for the Children of Deported Parents, which was organized by Casa De Maryland. During this solidarity action, about 500 activists along with parents and their children demanded the Obama administration to stop criminalizing our immigrant communities.
There I met several children whose parents are undocumented in the U.S.
Among these kids, there was a high school student and U.S. citizen who is willing to fight for this country by enrolling in the military, even when his parents are undocumented and are living in fear. "I am an American, I love this country and I want to support undocumented immigrants."
Listen to these amazing stories -- and please forward this video to the White House if you can. I hope president Obama will listen to his constituents, some of whom elected him!
In case you weren't aware. The Obama administration continues criminalizing undocumented immigrants, instead of reforming the current obsolete U.S. Immigration legislation. In 2009, over 400,000 workers were imprisoned and deported.
Currently, the Department of Homeland Security is spreading and implementing two anti-immigrant and racist programs: 287g and Secure Communities, which in some way promote the same racism and xenophobia as Arizona's SB-1070.
Remember, that most of the children whose parents are being deported by the Obama administration will be able to vote soon. That 50,000 Latinos become eligible to vote every month. That families are the backbone of every society, and if we destroy our families we are setting the path for the collapse of this nation.
Finally, remember that most children who grow up without parents tend to be a burden for societies, instead of leaders and productive citizens. These kids deserve to grow with their parents, a chance to reach their American Dream.
These kids will elect the U.S. president soonHere are more photos of the rally yesterday. Feel free to use them.

Greetings, From a White Texan, I commented on one of your videos, You do see the growing tide of anti-Illegal Mexican mindset. Like I said in the Video Its hard for people to feel sorry for a group of people that look like an invading army. Taking down & burning U.S. flags, raising Mexican flags yelling death to America & whites. You do understand America will never return any land to Mexico, And the U.S. will never just open the border and say come on in, take what you want, feel free to do what you want. Its great if Mexicans want to be Americans, work hard, pay taxes, raise a family, But thats not what I see, I see Mexicans That hate the U.S. They want whites to just turn over the US to mexico & leave. That is fantasy, I'm not trying to insult you, or be hateful, I just know many people are going to die if we stay on this road.
ReplyDeleteTHE SO CALLED NEGROS, LATINOS, AND NATIVE AMERICANS ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, YA DIG!!!
ReplyDeleteGood job Carlos. 2:28 good question. How would you like it? Deporter in Chief Obama.
ReplyDeleteI think your focusing on the hatred a minority of Latinos may have towards whites as you say. These of course are the most ignorant and have no idea what they are doing. You do realize most latinos are not like that? like you said we just want to work and pay our taxes. And thats all through out the U.S. We dont want mexican land back, we want an understanding Immigration reform. And most of all we feel americans, i've been singing the pledge of allience since i have memory.
