Last year you’ll remember that there were protests of over 10,000 people expressing their request for illegal immigration to not be punished. Well, this year has drawn measly hundreds.

My take on the issue - it’s called illegal immigration for a reason. When it’s legal, let everyone in. Until then, abide by the rules and come through legally. The U.S. is not discriminatory to immigrants; the country was founded on such principles to promote the opportunity of diversity in nationalities. We can’t let everybody in though, because that would cause problems - and it IS. Imagine if millions of Americans began illegally entering Mexico to live there. The sentiment would be different from these protesters, eh?

Approximately 100 immigrant advocates were somewhat organized in downtown today, protesting raids of local Houston workplaces. They’re angry that they are getting caught breaking immigration laws. Be smarter about it or don’t do it at all and there won’t be as many problems, right? Maybe I’m just crazy…

Anyways, on the downtown street corners today, the crime advocates could be heard chanting “Vamos a ganar.” “We are going to win.” I have a strong feeling, they will not.
