Viva What?

Ok, so here is a tough blog, and it is more to get opinions than anything else but DAMN if there weren't a lot of damn kids in the streets these past 2 days. So here is the issue. There are ramblings in the government that state that it will be a felony to be an illegal immigrant. I myself think that is a bit extreme, we have enough felons as it is, why make more. So Thousands upon thousands of kids, poured into the streets the other day because of the issue. Kids walking through the middle of the streets (bad start in my opinion) chanting various things. My personal experience was that they were chanting VIVA MEXICO, and was backed up by all of the news stations showing the same. They all wanted to make a political statement and blah blah blah. I am all for protest, BUT:

1) These kids aren't even old enough to vote. (Can't vote, no political clout, duh)
2) They are all citizens probably, at least the majority if not like 95% are.(though I get their parents may not be)
3) Though the protests were legal and semi-tame, it looked like chaos to me.
4) Swimming in the city hall fountains has no political purpose
5) If you want rights and clout in AMERICA, perhaps the main slogan that is chanted so loud I could hear it on the 9th floor behind glass windows, shouldn't be VIVA MEXICO.
6) I bet 1 out of 1000 of those kids had even ever been to Mexico because it they had, they would'nt blindly chant Viva Mexico. I have nothing against Mexico but the people who jump the border aren't leaving the posh parts, they are leaving the ghettos.
7) Where were the adults, who this issue should be important to?
8) The whole issue of Illegal Immigrants is just that , they are Illegal, so find a way to make them Legal, duh.
9) Some people, Not me, will say, "Well we pay for them to have health care and schools and stuff." Well yes we do, but our economy will crash without them. Give them a special tax so they pay part of their own way. When will we all protest people on welfare, don't work, and others who live off of our dime as well?
10) They are our damn Laws, so help make these people Legal, in a simple way, set it up so they pay taxes, and help them learn English. Simple as that.

There is another side, the scary side. Who know what to make of this, but it just goes to show, when you boil it down people just hate people, and its kind of sad. Every Race, just like every religion has groups within it that think they are superior.

Anyway, I think these kiddy protests are crap, kids don't have political beliefs, they just run around and act like they care about an issue that they don't think about the day after(SHEEP). I know the value of these immigrants who do jobs no one wants to do. I am sorry that we live in a society where there is a class based economy and citizens who my become legal may still be treated as second class. But You come cry to me after my wedding day when I can walk the streets of my town holding hands with the one I love without fear of being jumped or killed.

So that's it, do you want to be American Citizens, or Mexican Citizens. Shouldn't all of us in this country be Americans? We don't have to deny where we come from, or where our roots stretch to, but enough with the labels and being BLANK-American. Just be.

Now I don't want any one to take this the wrong way, I appreciate people no matter where they come from, and people who know me, know that. This whole race thing . . .It's just tired.
