You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good bye.

Teach your children well,
Their father’s hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picked, the one you’ll know by.

Don’t you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

And you, of tender years,
Can’t know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.

Can you hear and do you care and
Cant you see we must be free to
Teach your children what you believe in.
Make a world that we can live in.

Teach your parents well,
Their children’s hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picked, the one you’ll know by.

Don’t you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

when did it become acceptable to confine people en mass as a solution … when it became financially profitable and, especially so easy to do so? well it’s okay because if one does this they get that because; cough, gag, excuse me…it’s the law?. written and executed by, as kai said, “gringos themselves as the “…legal immigrants” celebrated by gringos who write the laws and draw lines in the ground with bayonets”. sounds like the makings of fascism to me. that’s fucked up. why is this not obvious? too much fox news? too much lou dobbs, etc?

nothing like a “good librul” fascist to kill a good thread.

buh bye pie eyed, i’ll pray for you.

peace, one love, and pass it one.

piedtype you can stop emailing me, cuz we’re done talking. You dont’ need to convince me you are a Good Librul Who Only Detests the Illegulz. you can feel good about yourself on your own. my mind is not gonna change on this issue, this feeling that human rights belong to everyone, and those who actively oppose true due process and human rights for all immigrants are losers and haters and very often racists, even liberal racists.

Again, no distinction here between anti-immigrant and anti-illegal-immigrant sentiment.

At first I thought this was simply a bot-like automatic spew irrelevant to anything we’re discussing in this thread. But then I realized that PiedType actually thinks this thread is about her, so the top priority, the center and foreground, is elaborating a clear distinction between her contemptible anti-immigrant conservative political rivals and her own reasonable liberal principled nuanced anti-illegal-immigrant view. That is what this discussion is supposed to be about: white liberal goodness. Because it’s always about them.

PiedType, trust me, we in the pro-migrant sphere understand the nuanced philosophical, political, moral, and legislative distinctions better than you do. But that’s not the subject of this post. Buh-bye.

Not workin’.

Arguably, all Americans are immigrants.

This kinda boils down a fundamental problem with the way many gringos view immigration, doesn’t it? They don’t recognize that America was populated with numerous peoples, nations, and civilizations before Europeans began arriving. So they don’t realize that most of the folks crossing the southern border are descendants of people who have lived on this continent for thousands of years.

Sorry, I should have said “immigrants built this country,” not “legal immigrants.” Arguably, all Americans are immigrants.

Oh? So why dont we go back to your original statement then and the words to which you initially retorted to my post.

Again, no distinction here between anti-immigrant and anti-illegal-immigrant sentiment. Legal immigrants helped build this country and we “gringos” celebrate that. Illegal immigrants, on the other hand, are breaking our laws by being here.

You admit to a fact that destroys your thesis and then go on as if you are right anyway with a short “Sorry.” You are incoherent in this argument. And you need education on the matter at hand.

Peace.
