Most politicians and other people that see the immigrant communities as nothing other than crime infested barrios that they may cross or go by when going to work or hear about in the news, never would have imagen that these communities could come together, unite, and express their concerns in a none violent way. For us, latinos or hispanos, it gives us hope that we can come together as a force to be recond with. Off course, it is understandable that some backlash may come out of the marcha as the San Bernadino county proposed laws against the immigrants have arisen. These actions show that they are scare of the potential that Latinos, regradless of legal status, pose to their racist interests that are only founded on racism and ignorance- nothing else. "Now we march, tommorrow we vote!" All I could say is that if you look at at the local elections in Southern Califorinia, especially today election day, the number of candidates with Latinos last names tells the story. It is very likely that each and everyone of the candidates has or has had a relative that was once a immigrant or that is an immigrant.The other non-Latinos can not do much about the candidates so they attack the ones that seem the most vulnerable and helpless- the immigrants. The only thing they did not anticipate is that the immigrants are not alone in their plight for justice. United we stand!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
