revolucion es el remedio

so there have been huge protests in la this week in response to the immigration bill hr4437 that is up. these are pictures from the la march (1-2 million) on march 25 from la imc, but there were also student walk outs- hs and ms (26,000) on 27 march.

it really bothers me when people give mexicans a hard time about being in the us, especially because a gigantic chunk of mexico was basically stolen from the mexicans in similar fashion to the lands of the native americans. as can be learned from most great world conflicts, people have attachment to land that they've had for a long time and will come back! i guess its not true for all of the united states, but at least where i'm from, mexico is a very strong referencial basis for most aspects of daily life.
for instance, i lived on hermosa ave. you would take that to colorado, and then take figueroa to school. i think we took a school trip to sacramento once and learned all about how cortes came to california in the 16th c. or something. after school i would eat a delicious mango with lemon and salt on it. yum!
"americans" hate mexicans becuase they are racist, and they like to think they're better than people that have less money than themselves. it really makes me mad when people think that mexicans are lazy because most mexican immigrants have probably worked far harder in their life than anyone who went to college and got a fancy job.
the new immigration policy is laughably horrid, and i really hope that people other than mexicans can protest about it too, because laws like this will affect everything about this country. if this law had existed when my grandmother had tried to come to this country, i would not be here.
hopefully people will get really pissed about their mexican friends and fellow nationals being treated so badly and targeted with such racist furvor and protest all over the united states. (sigh, but probably not) in any case, it makes me proud to see so many people united in protest in this lame country where people are too embarrassed to let their political identities show.
