Immigration

I could really give a fuck.

Maybe I'm bitter. Maybe I'm too lazy to fight for any cause.

Or maybe, I could just really give a fuck.

Why should I care about people, most of which simply overstayed their bloody visas (i.e. didn't flee oppression on a couple of PVC tubes slung together), when I am here trying to do things the LEGAL way and getting screwed every which way I turn. And I ain't alone.

Oh cry me a motherfucking river. You think you got rights? Rights my behind. You knew the rules, the laws, when you got here. That's why you're "illegal" - Oh wait, you don't speak English.

If they send your ass back, tough shit, your gamble just didn't pay off, but don't go protesting and bellyachin' like the US government owes you something.

Hell at this rate my chances would've been better if I just said piss off after school and started working with no papers. Then I'd fall into the "more than 2 years" category and be golden.

It really irks me to see bills batted around the senate based largely on "making nice" because a whole lot of people will be pissed off otherwise. True, no matter how you cut it somebody's going to pissed. They're just doing what they do, trying to piss off the least amount as possible. And so be it, that's the name of the game. But it doesn't mean I can't be immensely annoyed that the people in my position are in the silent minority - as evidenced by the level of profanity in this post.

Bah.
