Gezinha 121 Posted February 4, 2013 Great, but she forgets that no one is asking for it, all we want is the chance to be able to get out loans and pay for them. If you have no SSN, how in the world do you apply for a loan for college? I just despise people who make judgement without being in the situation. And if people in CA have the opportunity, it is not because they begged for it. How many Americans quit school everyday and don't even care for a better future? And here we are, practiacally begging to pay taxes, to have a SSN, to contribute to the country, and the judging does not stop. And "fairness" is just ridiculous, we are not asking to step in front of everyone else, we are just asking for a chance, as a great majority of us came to this country through no fault of our own, and this is all we know. And then, there is that little thing there...hm, her father came here? Great, so, you wouldn't be born here if your dad didn't come here in the first place? How decent of your father to give you a better life, or you should probably give up your citizenship and go back to your country of origin, because really, you are an immigrant, kind of, right?. Oh, no? Ok then! 4 Gandalf, erika020, amor and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erika020 87 Posted February 5, 2013 ugh!! couldn't keep on reading!!! .... "not fair"? well it's not like it was our fault ( I'm not saying my parents did wrong by bringing me here) but they are making it seem like it's our fault that the economy in CA is getting worse because of us!! we also work hard and many of us take the jobs that they DON'T want! what would it be of this country if we weren't here to work those jobs that they don't want...here in California (at least in the region i live) i see a lot of young people(DREAMers) working out in the fields working under really hot temperatures and for long hours just to get enough money to support their families and pay for school and I see a sign that says "the citrus capital of the world" and all I think is "the citrus capital of the world"? and thanks to who?? ... and to be honest I don't see any "white" people working at these type of jobs!! I know it's a bit out of topic (the article's topic) but it just gets me mad and saddens to see all those prideful people who want compassion from others but aren't willing to be compassionate towards others! and just complaining about us being the ones harming the economy :/ ... sorry I had to let it out 1 Gezinha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gezinha 121 Posted February 5, 2013 Very well said Erica, Thank you for saying that. I unfortunately, have never been to CA or AZ, and but I can only imagine how hard it is for all the immigrants to work a low wage in the hot scorching sun, while the Cali beaches are filled with 15-19 year olds sit on the beach drinking and surfing. God forbid, if you ask them where a lemon, or a strawberry comes from, they wouldn't even know they grow outta the ground. Now, this girl in the article, for God's sake, no comments, a complete airhead. lol 1 erika020 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
