THE UNAPOLOGETIC MEXICAN blog was linked and mentioned yesterday in a Chicago Tribune article. I felt the need to respond to the article.
Excerpt:
What kind of American is this who wants to ride the pile and let others suffocate beneath?What kind of Americans are these that bubble over with corny conforming and empty joy as they hang cheap Walmart flags thinking it marks them as patriotic—all while they spread Fear of Other sentiment, and lies that divide the different peoples in our nation? In what kind of united state do they exist?
Read the full blog here. And as always, I encourage all those dedicated to Human Rights for All to sign up and join our effort while you are there.

thank god you did respond... that Chicago Tribune article was totally pandering to the anti-immigrant crowd. I don't know why we can't have rational discussions of immigration in this country without people being racist or nativist. In fact, why are we letting these people steer the discourse? I know that immigration is a sticky issue and some compromises have to be made, but if we start thinking of immigrants as PEOPLE and not as WORKERS (ie slaves!!, in many cases!!) than real progress can be made.
also, maybe you should let them know that some times those gosh darn illegals go overseas and fight our battles for us :)
