Advocacy groups with Attitude!

It has been alleged that those who have strong opinions most likely have strong biases based on their causes. We have found this particularly true when reading, speaking with, or even reasoning with members of “Immigration Reform” advocacy groups. Clearly what has come to us is the amount of hatred against anyone who disagrees with their agenda. Today we share with you some of what we’ve witnessed.

First please consider the article before this one entitled Bipartisan ‘Common Sense’ which clearly illustrates that collective minds working toward a common goal will indeed prevail. The following is from one such advocacy group, Change.org

“In the long decade that I have spent here, I have realized that American politics resembles a bad game of American football. We can put Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi at the left to put the ball into play with the Majority Leaders as running backs. She passes the football to the President, who is the quarterback, for leadership on immigration reform, while the President fudges a throw to a running back or wide receiver (in this case, Senator Schumer) who catches the ball but refuses to run, insisting on drafting new rules for the game in consultation with the defense. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus tries to act like referees, even though no one in Congress is really paying attention to them. Immigration reform is a bipartisan issue but that need not mean a watered-down bill that criminalizes immigrants, makes us all carry national ID cards while funneling millions into private contracts to erect a wall all across the Southern border of the United States. Goddess forbid, if a natural or more likely human-induced disaster ever hit the United States and Canada, and people needed to flee to the next neighboring country. Besides, "Tear down this Wall!" would just fall on deaf ears coming from the President of Mexico. Next, Schumer will be meeting with Sheriff Joe Arpaio to continue talks on immigration reform in the interest of bipartisanship. Senator Schumer, lay off the bipartisan measures and do something for immigrant rights in the interest of the United States of America.

Just a comment or two and then we will continue tomorrow with a deeper analysis from several other special interest and advocacy groups. But first…the opening line in the table states “In the long decade…” does anyone feel attitude? In the same paragraph with the football reference and Sen. Chuck Schumer, notice how he doesn’t run, instead wanting to draft new RULES for proper reform? Two more and we’ll be done; Our people here at Education, Immigration, and Pop Culture fought in not only the Revolutionary War but just about every major war the USA has been involved in – as Americans we find no difficulty with carrying a national ID card, so what’s the problem? Finally anyone feel the hate spewing regarding the “Tear down this Wall!” comment?

More to come...
