Why Nativists Don't Bother Me In The Least
It’s the same reason that homophobes really don’t bother me.
Nothing anyone says or does can take away any of my achievements. I know I am meant and destined for much greater things than worrying about what inconsequential people say, think or feel about me.
Homophobes currently don’t bother me because majority of them are fighting against the tide of gay marriage, something...

While it’s always easy to see in hindsight, this disastrous decade could have turned out differently were it not for 10 horrible decisions that took place from 2000 to 2009.

When your mom starts arguing about the price of grapes at the store cashier even with a long line behind her. After the cashier finally agrees to a refund, she returns the grapes because it was 50 cents more and gets her refund from customer service. She then drives 2.5 miles more to another store for grapes that are cheaper.

Ten Reforms On An Undocumented Immigrant Wish-List http://bit.ly/6NY7RN #immigration #ri4a #p2 #topprog #dreamact
I challenge our ‘immigrant rights’ groups to take on some of these real reforms.
No, they are just in it for the money. Trust me, the immigration reform non-profit complex is a multi-million dollar business.

Avatars of Immigrant Rights
I wish I had some real skills with graphic designing for it would come in handy right about now.
I saw Avatar in 3D yesterday, and I am still disturbed about the colonial discourse of the movie because I can see a lot of it in my own life as a young crusader fighting for immigrant rights.
In our colony of unrequited dreams, we have the frankly boring old white guys in suits who pose as leaders...
I wonder if I should go all the way and write about the Avatars of the ‘immigrant rights’ movement (…) Maybe when I am safely in Canada
