There's A War Inside of Me...

Protest at the Civic Center in Santa Ana

The stores and streets were empty as I drove into Santa Ana and before I could see the people I could see the American flags flying high. I took yesterday off in solidarity for immigrant rights. I am not going to rant on and on about immigrant rights on my blog. I have decided that I would rather not go there. But at the protest yesterday I saw the best sign. It said in English and Spanish- "DIGNITY FOR THE WORKING CLASS." And that's exactly it. You may say that people shouldn't be here and that they are breaking the law. But remember this- whatever the government decides, they should know that these immigrants are just that, people. And all people, whether here legally or if they speak English or not, have dignity. We should respect that and treat them as such. As of right now, my country's attitude towards others embarrasses me.
