I have some very smart readers...

I was so happy to receive so many interesting comments from my first post! To know that this subject is as important to me as it is to you makes me feel even more passionate about it.
I think immigration can be a very personal and sensitive topic because we're not just talking about percentages and graphs, we're talking about real people. Me, you, your neighbor.
So, I would like to address some of the people to took time to comment on my post.
- Shelbita what you said is exactly on point, so many Latin Americans come to the U.S. only to keep surrounding themselves with Hispanics. I guess in a way I can understand me, it's a way not feel that far away from home, but it's an invitation to an even more deep segregation.
- Green girl: I too want to hear more about immigration in the debates! Why has this topic been ignored so much lately?
- Margaret, sweat shop workers in China reminds of a situation that happened here in the U.S. in the 1850's. Did you know that they allowed Mexican workers to come to the U.S. legally just so they could work in cotton farms? Under terrible conditions and miserable wages, just like sweatshop workers...
- John, it's incredible that media personalities like Bill O'Reilly, that gets his message across so many homes in America, would blame illegal immigrants for crimes that go on in the U.S. This kind of close-minded thinking is the one that keeps prejudice and exclusion alive.
- American Blogger, I'm happy to be in a diverse college as well, I feel that UNC is very welcoming to people from different backgrounds, at least, it has been this way for me since I got here. Although, I'd still like to see diversity grow even more!
