all bullshit aside. the same people that built their companies off the back of people here illegally(or as slaves) are now uncomfortable at the fact that these same people(black/european/asian/hispanic indian etc.) have worked their asses off, gone on and are now living in the same area that the company owners live in. and have established their own thriving businesses.
there are bad seeds in every single group, that has always been the case. some people come legally, some are naturalized citizens(i.e, an immigrant bears a child with a US citizen, making the child a natural citizen by birth). some people come illegally and with no intention of being legal citizens because :
a) they dont want to pay taxes. all the money they make they can keep.
b) healthcare isnt denied in the event of emergency and they dont have to pay it, cause they can't be traced.
c) if crime comes into play. they can pull up and go elsewhere after a quick stay in their home country, if they even have to leave.
(there are actually more concrete reasons, but what was mentioned above are consequenses/perks of illegal status)
now with respect to the hispanic brothas and sistas that i know/have seen come up. i gave them mad props. cause how is it that you can show up in another country, not speak a lick of that official language, work for pennies, and at the end of 5 years. have more to show for it than most mufukkas that were born here?
the latino community(and most other non-american born communuties) work as one unit. they work truly as one unit. some people crack jokes about latino people packing more people in a car than the safe amount, and a large amount of people living under one roof. what most people dont see is that cooperative economics is being used to benefit the whole group sharing that one car, or living in that one bedroom apartment or house.
think about it. if one lone person buys a house for 150k, unless they get married, have a bomb ass job that wont go under or are rich, they alone shoulder the responsibility of that one house. you flip that, get 6 people paying on the mortgage and they all come up. the owner pays less, or pays it off faster. and everyone gets a place to sleep, in addition to a start off point on getting their own home. how many american born people can look past their own self to welcome their family members into their home for the benefit of themselves and their family ?? not many.
hell i cant even get black men together for a meeting about cooperative economics without hearing "i gots to get mine dawg" or "i aint trying to do nothing like that" or some other i'm an individual type shit.
some people hate it. but i gave latino community props on how in the 12years i've been herein atlanta. they went from, for the most part, being people with little power, to owning entire sections of neighborhoods, towns complete with businesses, med centers etc. you got TELEMUNDO and UNIVISION piping in on tv. your own news paper, outreach centers, political members and things like that all over town. and you, or the most part work as a team.
i'm done for now. the bill may be passed. but if it is. no one should get too upset. just do what you have to to get legal.
