Refection Blog

There are people who exaggerate too much in this country, that immigrants are becoming a problem. That they need to be back were they came from and that the white people are the first to be in this land, but really belonged to Mexico. Even back then hatred existed and the whites kicked out the Indians and Mexicans of our land saying to us that it was there right to do so that it was "Manifest Destiny".

There is question going around that is "Do Illegal Immgrants have diseases that come to the United States?, Are Immigrants Literally Making you Sick?. These question can make a mexican very mad because you are saying just because we are mexican we are contagious. Dr. Douglass estimated that are at least 8 new diseases that mexicans brought to the United States. Some of those diseases are HIV, polio, and malaria. First of all HIV already existed here, Second how do we know that is not made up. How do we know that this doctor has a problem with illegal immigrants and talks bad about us.

My opinion on this topic is that chicanos have a little bit of more rights than illegal immigrants, but still get treated the same. But there is that amount of chicanos that are giving mexicans a bad name with all the gang violence and that tough guy reputation. Therefore chicano or immigrant you are still a bad person to some people that think that way. My other opinion is that the United States is known as the big superpower, because of it's economy, military technology, and type of government it has, but this country is big with a large population that need food, shelter, and water. By all these people getting these necessities, there needs to be people to work the fields, to be hard labor work to build.

The people who do all this is are chicanos and immigrants, but mostly immigrants. So with out these people doing hard labor work the United States will get a great impact on it. What I'm saying is that chicano or immigrant we should get some credit for what we do for this country.
