Hispanic entitlement to participation in the "American" dream

The ambition of "American" greatness displaced ancient tribes of Comanche and put Mexican mestizos into the sevitude of the rancho, ranch (the home of my paternal grandparents). As equality and justice for all seem to be more feesable in the wake of meaningful constitutional and social ammendments, the U.S.A. appears to be place of opportunity, much like the illegal immigration of the Irish through Canada during the tragedy of Ellis Island and the tragedy of instability in Ireland.

Therefore, the Hispanic entitlement to participation in the "American" dream is understood historically as an I O U. Continental America looks north to our economy and wishes to contribute to feed their family and to begin to attain access to the inaccessible education and power of the imperial history of the Americas. And as the right affirms the obligation the U.S. has to the Iraqi people to spend tax dollars in the war, it denies any responsibility it has to use tax monies to develop and implement a just system of reform for the broken immigration policies to the benefit of those displaced by our own vision “from sea to shining sea.”

Compare the deficit growth in the war to the credits and debits of illegal immgration, and the difference is incomparable. If we have any duty to stabilize Iraq, we must acknowlege the need to give stability to those who pick our cabbage. I only end for the sake of you the reader, and this commentary is not comprehensive - I merely hope it serves to offer insight into the dialogue. posted by samrocha at 12:22 PM 23 comments Wednesday, April 12, 2006
