Last comments on SB1070
Reading and learning about SB1070 was definently mind opening and discouraging. I've always known this country was racist but to what extent is pretty astounding. I've also come to realize how much hatred people really have torwards one another. I really hope all of this is much gone and dissapears as the years go by. Until then this country that we live in isn't going anywhere other than downhill. Regarding the migrant workers, the feelings I have towards them are most of respect and admiration. Migrant workers have had to tolerate alot throughout the years. Specially living in this country where they have hoped to make it and survive when they couldn't do so in their countries. It's amazing what some people will sacrifice and risk for the love of their families. Before we started learning about SB1070 in our class I stood against it and today I still stand against it, I always will.

Well said, and full of compassion. However, i must admit that in order to soften or slow the hatred, we must look at each other's differences and acknowledge them, start accepting these people as our community, not outsiders who come to plunder your town. But, it is, in the end of the day, complicated, spider-web-like problem that we have to fight every single day.
