"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these — the homeless, tempest-tossed — to me;
I lift my lamp beside the Golden Door."

This statement is now a blatant lie & needs to be made true as soon as possible.

The French made the statue of liberty and
put those words on it before they gave it
to the U.S It is not the official immigration
policy of this country. The words should be
removed from the statue.

For one, the land lost after the mexican cession was land that was conquered by the spanish and inherited by the mexicans after the revolution. THe spanish actually took those lands from the indigenous native americans that lived on those lands, which by the way did not include the people of Mesoamerica, an area where prominent peoples including the Aztecs originated from. So how do you figure that mexicans deserve that land? Check your sources.

cari-regardless, Emigrating to the USA...
WORDS ENGRAVED ON the WONDERFUL STATUE OF LIBERTY in NY harbor, USA...

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these — the homeless, tempest-tossed — to me;
I lift my lamp beside the Golden Door."

...This statement is now a blatant lie & needs to be made true as soon as possible.

Your cause is very noble, but unfortunatly outdated and very naive. Perhaps you should look at the facts and consider the future of this great nation and the future of its people and children.

cari-I am looking to the future, & welcome a mostly Latina Usa. With all the room in this country we are oblicated to share it. Up until now, murderous Anglos genocided those originally on this land,& continue raping,torturing,enslaving,kidnapping & worse today. Slave labor & low wages still R making Anglos fithy rich, but they share none of the wealth with workers.Our destruction of land, water, & air in just 200years is hideous.Others civilizations can teach us what we need - How to Respect.

I agree that american history is a very disturbing event. I will not hold my kids or my neighbors kids held accountable of what happened long before i was ever conceived. Mexicans are under represented and we do need reform to protect those that legally live here. But this fantasy that you want is just that...a fantasy. I want my kids to have insurance, an education, a budget for loans and production. I cant have that for them if this country is flooded by illegals. (continued)
carsiotto (November 7, 2008 at 9:34 pm)
(continued) can you please point out what civilizations to learn from? I dont know one type of people that would not fight for their existance. And the US is doing just that. And mexicans should fight in mexico for reform.

If anti-racist immigrant placement programs like the Hebrew Immigrant Aid society have such a deep, anti-racist, abiding love for people of color, then why doesn't Israel open up its gates to third world multiculturalism, and diversity? Why is Israel's immigration policy ethnic Jewish-only? Why does the Palestinian minority have to live in seperate neighborhoods & attend different schools? Why is interracial marriage illegal in Israel? Furthermore, why no black people in Israel, or Hispanics?

Good point. Its because they don't want to be drowned out by non-Jewish people. Apparently, it only applies to Israel though.

The Zionist commitment to racial purity has led to expressions of bigotry at the highest levels of Israeli society that would inspire outrage in respectable circles in the U.S. An Israeli company has required thousands of Chinese workers to sign a contract promising not to have sex with Israelis. A company spokesman said there was nothing illegal about the requirement. Israeli law forbids the marriage of a Jew with a non-Jew. (Associated Press, December 23, 2003)
