Blog #3

            I read the article “Oh, You Mean Those Immigrants” written by Kim Antieau. More than an article is her telling her husband’s story. Mario (her husband) is a European, and because he’s second name is Milosevic (the Butcher of the Balkans) he thought that he would not be able to enter to the States; fortunately he did. She narrates how he had to answer some questions, like “Are you planning on overthrowing the government of the United States?” I honestly have to say, what kind of fool would ask that question, and what kind of fool would say “yes” to that question? She then narrates how she have heard people talking bad about Mexican immigrants, but when she says that her husband is also an immigrant, they said “No, not that kind of immigrant”.

            Apparently, some people are not against immigrants after all, they’re against Latin immigrants. They say that “we’re taking their jobs” but they have such a big ego that they won’t accept that they can’t do those dirty jobs because they consider themselves superior. As for the “Are you planning on overthrowing the government of the United States?” question, it was very dumb. A psychopath can be Italian, Mexican, and even American. There can be crazy Americans that are planning to do this, but they won’t noticed because their too busy bothering immigrants. They also have to remember that if they are judging immigrants, they should judge themselves, because the only, TRUE AMERICANS are Native Americans, so those people who judge are also immigrants. Is it really that hard to just share a country like good brothers? IS IT REALLY THAT HARD?

            I enjoyed the article because Kim, who is American, didn’t stayed quiet when people were talking bad about immigrants, she was heard, and even though it did nothing to the issue, she proved that not all Americans are against immigrants.
