I have to state my admiration for OCA...
Try and put yourself in my shoes..
YouÂ’re a latino and you come into a message board and see 95% of the members threatening to shoot you on sight just because you donÂ’t have the right papers to work in the US.
Then you see a greek immigrant that has no ethnic reason to be friendly to you treating your people as human beings.
ItÂ’s really moving!!
Look, I agree with all the major points made here (and although I donÂ’t speak for him, I think OCA agrees too):
The US has every right to exercise control over its borders and expell any illegal aliens.
And no, SE, the US is not responsible for the poor of Mexico.
And I think the US has the right to build any wall between them and Mexico, although I believe the humanitarian concerns expressed by Celine should also be taken into consideration. The purpose of the wall, fence etc should be to prevent illegal immigration not kill poor mexicans and other latinos.
OCA also seems to agree with all these points rejecting at the same time this sky is falling mentality.
IÂ’m gonna create a thread explaining my position on this issue more clearly but now I would like to pay a bilingual homage to OCA:
Spanish: VIVA OCA!!! AMIGO DE LOS LATINOS!!!
Portuguese: VIVA OCA!!! AMIGO DOS LATINOS!!!
Maybe next time IÂ’ll try to say it in Greek, buddy : )
