It really ticks me off when people assume I'm illegal because I'm not a citizen, it's not an if this than that situation so do research and be more informed of your own government policies. And I believe all those who are documented in the U.S. should benefit from the Health Care Reform because we are all paying an equal price for it. Those who are not documented should be given residency which is not citizenship. That way these people can help pay for the Health Care Reform and contribute to the U.S. economy more effectively. People may think that people choose to stay illegal to avoid paying taxes but most of the people I've met are not documented because the government denies them the right and because they don't have the money because they are paid minimum wage by companies who exploit them.

Life isn't fair? If you lived in the U.S. for say eighteen years, illegally, and had your wife, your kids, friends, and family here and you were deported back to your native country, would you just sit at the airport handcuffed to the other illegal immigrant by hand and foot and just say "Life isn't fair, oh well"?NO! You wouldn't. So for you to make this claim is just ridiculous. The situations are very much the same.
If Russia set foot on the U.S. today and said we want to claim your country ours and you can’t live here anymore would it be okay because it happens all the time? What if Russia, England, and France decide that they want to come to America for a better life and start a war against us? There’s no way you can say that the U.S. is too strong and would still defeat them.
How do you know the U.S. would win the war? The U.S. has not won a war starting with the Vietnam War. The U.S. gained independence from England ,which was the superpower back then, so that proves that even a small "colony" per say could be capable of winning a war against a great superpower.
If the United States didn’t exploit other countries and didn’t keep them poor and make it impossible for people to live there, people wouldn’t migrate here. The people that come here are poor and it costs over three-hundred dollars to get a Visa to come to the U.S. legally. When you’re living on two to five dollars a day, it’s impossible to even dream about coming here legally. And how can you just sit there with a grumbling stomach as you watch your child starve to death.
From your tone, it sounds like you’re proud that your forefathers committed genocide in order for you to be standing where you are today. I think it is unfair and that we should at least have some compassion for the people who are trying to make a better life for their family and for themselves. We shouldn’t think “Oh life is not fair,” instead we should try to make a difference somehow. You cannot even begin to understand what an illegal immigrant suffers on their journey here and while living here.
The American “empire” is strong but no empire exists forever. Take a look at the Roman Empire, a great fleet of soldiers and a huge conquered range of land and yet, the still fell. One day, all of the oppressed countries and probably the rest of the world is going to get tired of being “pushed around” and the American Empire will fall too.

I'll admit, I was somewhat uncomfortable and had a hard time deciding what to choose and so I asked one of my floor mates, whose Colombian what she put down and she answered "Hispanic and for race I put down Colombian," so that didn't help. Then one of my other floor mates asked me what I had put down because she wasn't sure what she should put down. It was so stupid, I think. In the end, I chose the other box and put down Mestizo as my race. However, I am not sure if everyone is familiar with the term, it means half Indian and half Spanish.
So not only was the Census form confusing but it was also offensive. I felt singled out when I saw the box that asked if I was Hispanic. I felt like the government is watching me and my people and trying to see how many of us are in the country and I honestly felt like they'd use the information to "control" the Hispanic population. I've noticed this singling out of Hispanics on many other forms though. On recent work applications, on surveys, on whatever form asks one about their race, the box that asks if one is Hispanic is present. I really don't like it and I wondered why it is? Why don't they have something similar for the Whites or Blacks or Asians?
I thought about it some more and I guess it may be because the highest number of immigrants in the U.S. right now is of Hispanic or Latino origin. However, I think, the census should do it based on what country the people are coming from because race is just too confusing, and Hispanics have so many different things they could be. We can’t all just be one type or race.

I can’t understand how the premise of the game came to the creator’s mind though… most games are used to create a form of escape into something “cooler” or whatever, but I can’t see the reason for wanting to go into a world like the one in the rape games. Besides the creator, what kind of person wants to play such games? It’s really a disturbing thought.
