ready for this

LIES...

My mother till last year was not a US Citizen, she was legally residing here, but her original country of origin is Mexico.. She crossed them illegal perimeters many many a time during my youth...

Once, during them crossings, they got her, some border patrol guys, her and a couple friends.. They did not *detain* them at some building, no, no, no
they gave my mom and her friends special accomidations in the middle of some desert in Arizona..

*I* am a fucking 40 year walking reminder of that time for my mom. (mom is catholic does not do abortion)

So. with that tid bit out there....

I want to share something with you...

If you put down a people long enough can call them roaches, garbage, a burden to this country you will learn to just be quiet and avoid anything that has to do with any kind of law enforcement. (including voting) My mother is a strong ass woman, but lemme tell you nothing breaks her down like the sight of a cop, we talked a bit on her birthday about the AZ thing, I can hear it in her voice the terror.. I am so glad she does not live anywhere near that state..

When I was 15 my mother bumped a car with hers at church, in the parking lot, my dad was out of town on TDY, Arabia I believe don't remember why.

We hid, I shit you not my mother panicked, cause she thought the cops would take her we hid out at stores, and I finally talked her into going home. So you see it is easy to scare people, it's easy to make someone feel unwanted and unwelcomed, and it's easy to terrorize a people..

*I* personally, hate being pulled over, cops are right up there with clowns and spiders, they set off panic in me...

So your thoughts that people are being detained in pretty prison cells is not always true.....

What this woman has done, is put a target on people who are not *white*. So who are they gonna pull over?

Native Americans they have dark skin

Persians they too have dark skins

Chicanos they tooooooo have dark skin

when does it end? So what I see is unless you white.... You can safely drive around the state.. Hasn't it always been like this though?

It's a fucked up law Dean Robert....

How you don't see that is beyond me.......
Thank you so much for posting this Snow! I know it is very personal and difficult to talk about.

It tells the truth about how one family has interacted with the border guards and with the people who are supposed to protect us and why many people do not trust the police.

Until we all remember that we are speaking of people just like us who did not take leaving their families and homes lightly to come to the USA. Just like so many of our ancestors did to be hated just like they were. We have no more right to this land than anyone else does. We are a nation or immigrants. Read about what people said about the Irish, the Italians, the Polish when they arrived here...same exact stuff.

My heart breaks for the 1000's who year who don't make it, who die trying to get here to make a better life for themselves and their families.

This governor says she is on a mission from God to fix things, to stop illegal immigration, to stop partner benefits. I hope this will be a huge wake up call to the rest of the country that this is not acceptable, and that the Federal Government needs to step in. I am very sad that she was next in line to follow the former governor.

Love your fellow human, know that we are all One and that we all deserve dignity and respect.

This law is racist at it's core and need to to be struck down.
