Howdy Howdy all!

Today is a national day of action in favor of immigration reform, which I am currently participating  in!  I am at the university library typing this between speeches.

here is a link for more information

I have some issues with the Frist Bill and I dont particularly LOVE the McCain/Kennedy bill but it is more conducive to citizenship as a nation (In my humble opinion). I don't like this backdoor policy we end up with when we criminalize illegal immigrants. If they are criminalized and then deported they can never hope to be citizens the legal way. I think that assigning a FELONY charge on someone because of their citizenship status sounds like dangerous step in the wrong direction.

What will that say about us as a nation really? I dont know but I feel compelled to stand with others and say I disagree with this, because I DISAGREE with this!

Like I said earlier in this post I agree that there is room for reform but increasing sniper activity and erecting a wall?  I am not on board with those options either  because it ignores what is happening to illegal citizens IN the US now, it only addresses those who have not arrived yet.

Anyway I wll post some highlights and photos later tonight until then.......

how about a little poetry...here goes

I Ask The Impossible

I ask the impossible: love me forever.
Love me when all desire is gone.
Love me with the single mindedness of a monk.
When the world in its entirety,
and all that you hold sacred advise you
against it: love me still more.
When rage fills you and has no name: love me.
When each step from your door to our job tires you--
love me; and from job to home again, love me, love me.
Love me when you're bored--
when every woman you see is more beautiful than the last,
or more pathetic, love me as you always have:
not as admirer or judge, but with
the compassion you save for yourself
in your solitude.
Love me as you relish your loneliness,
the anticipation of your death,
mysteries of the flesh, as it tears and mends.
Love me as your most treasured childhood memory--
and if there is none to recall--
imagine one, place me there with you.
Love me withered as you loved me new.
Love me as if I were forever--
and I, will make the impossible
a simple act,
by loving you, loving you as I do--Ana Castillo
