Immigration Debate

Here is a little post on immigration that accidentally came to my mind as I was surfing Youtube and trying to find the O'Reily Factor with Vicente Fox as a guest. I came across a video called Mutha Fuckin Mexican which was a short video of various immigrant pictures mostly of them protesting. Some appeared to be from the HR 4437 protest. But reading through the comments there were continuous debates occurring from those who are 'oppose' Mexican and those who are Mexican. Each of these commenter’s expressed their patriotism. I wanted to post some so we can understand both sides. I am aware that I am posting a comment without permission but I feel since it was posted publicly it is appropriate to reiterate their statement. Once again it is amazing how a site such as youtube can now be a place where internet poltics takes place. I will not post the sceenname of these people due to discretion.

PRO:we did not form all this shit because we are evil ppl these are acts of individuals that they did not because of being hispanic but because it was the thing the gang phenomenon has is and will always be a big deal in the USA. black hispanic asian and even white although white gangs are small and very unorganized have been in this country for years. gangs did not exist in latin america before they were introduced by ppl that had lived here in the usa

PRO:

FEMINISM and MEXICAN migrant worker? Are they alike...

“In Western societies, one can trace the record of critical feminist writing back almost about 500 years ago” (Ritzer 220). Feminists look at world from the eye view of ‘the other’ giving society an alternative insight. They challenge sociological theory and especially the classical statement from early research. Feminist believe that ones socio-demographic characteristics influence how you do sociological research. In translation what gender you are, racial and ethnic background, how and where you grew up will have impact on your viewpoint. Feminist believe that previous research that were performed were influence because of socio-demographics. A strong argument that illustrates this is Marx focus on social inequality and class status. Marx demonstrated oppression of the working class man but never gave the insight of the women. Women for Marx and other early sociological researcher were not even considered. But due to feminist strong devotion for movement their writings are now some of the critical mass in sociology.


What exactly do feminist argue for and against? Feminist believe in the discovering the viewpoint of the unacknowledged. The unacknowledged consist of ‘minorities,’ which is anyone who is oppressed by the White ‘majority’ of men. In today’s society oppression, stigmatizing, and discrimination still exist. Women have come far and have almost created an egalitarian society for women. Now the 2008 and in the past years, ‘the other’ is no longer women but immigrants that migrate to the United States. Unfortunately the majority who migrate are concentrated from Mexico. The US has tried to find methods of controlling this Latino wave. Immigrant, illegal immigrants have come to the US in pursuit of a better life and living standard but instead are antagonized. Illegal Mexicans have been stereotyped as “wetback,” “beaners” and “lazy.” The continuous arguments against illegal immigrants are that they are affecting the economy, taking away jobs, increasing crime rate and population, and taking advantage of health care. We as society are well aware of these statement and ‘facts’ due to media.


Though our daily new, television programs and radio broadcast we are informed of how immigration is taking a toll in the United States. An example of this can be seen in the T.V. hit show the O’Reily Factor. In the episode The Trouble with Mexico O’ Reily interviewed the former President of Mexico Vicente Fox and discussed the issues of illegal immigration. He begins his program by letting the audience be aware of the situation mentioning that “poverty is the root cause of illegal immigration. The average income of a poor Mexican is $4 a day. ” He mentions that poverty is driven by poor education. 60% of Mexican citizens do not graduate from high school as well mentions that17% of Mexican nationals serving time in our federal prisons. Statements like this influence the public’s opinion. Referring this back to feminist theory and using Dorothy Smith standpoint theory we can better understand this situation from a sociological viewpoint. Standpoint theory is knowledge is socially located and biased. Knowledge is always partial and self interest for the fact that nobody looks at world the same way thus everyone looks at the world through self interest and partial views. When Vicente Fox spoke and answered back O’ Reily’s statistics he was presenting the ‘others’ point of view. He stated that it is not true that 60% of Mexicans do not graduate high school, actually 94% do graduate. This an example of viewing the “others” perspective.


If we actually take time and see the others viewpoint then we would have a better understanding and less of a standpoint opinion. According the National Academy of Sciences argue that immigration has an overall positive effect. On average immigrants are found to provide a monetary net benefit as they contributed an estimated $10 billion to the US economy. Therefore we must not always believe the majority ‘white male researcher reporting statistic’ rather generate our own opinion about the issue of immigration


down below is the video I analysed

Democracy

MOST PEOPLE SAY...

that a democracy is the best type of state or national government. Almost everyone believes in its ideal , even if it is not in full practice. According to W. Lawrence Neuman democracy is a "type of collective decision making or a process by which people reach decisions together that will apply to all.

We know that in its simplest form a demoracy is opposed of dictatorship or monarchy, in other word a one person rule system.

"Democracy is not absolute power to the majority; it also protects the rights of the minorities. Tyrany of the majority OCCURS when a nation tries to assimilate everyone in a common culture or present a strong unified front to an external threat"(Neuman 2005, 34). This quote can apply to the two major concerns in the US government. ONE immigration and TWO war against terror.

PaTrIoTiC!

1. Are you a Partiotic citizen?
2. What does it mean to be partriotic?

IS it (a) waving flags and total obedience to the government, or (b) qestioning and defending fundamental political values and rights? (Neuman 2005, 31)

• Patriotism is love of one's country or nation and is closely assoicated with nationalism

1. What is nationalism then?

• Nationalism is a belief system and movement that emphasizes the supremacy of the nation-state. Nationalism has been a basis for both great acheivement and sacrifice that people made for the nation and horrible opression committed in the name of the Nation ?(Neuman 2005 , 32).

Liberating America

Neoconservative: they don’t need international law, it does not matter of not whether or not they like us or not it only matter if they fear us.
What makes the Bush administration so unique ? We have to break it down and see the inside source of it. Bush administration consist of the most conservative foreign policy voices from the Republican party.
· Vice President- Dick Chaney
· Secretary of Defense- Donald Rumsfeld
· US Deputy of Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz
**All these people have served in the Ronald Regan and George H. Bush administration

Paul Wolfowitz was and still is the intellectual force of the radical force of the Neoconservative party. This radical plan, for military attack for the Persian Gulf has been going since George H Bush .

Why do they do want Persian Gulf?
a. For wealth
b. Oil
c. An Unchallenged American empire

“It is better be feared than loved”
-Machiavelli
Little did we know that this expression would fit perfectly the mentality of our nation, they rather be feared as a military empire than loved as a first world leading nation

Who is winning the war?

I was doing research to see how many casualites have there been (from our fellow troops ) and I ran into this website from CNN called US & Coalition Casualties and the list is quite long... It is amazing to think that they were 'fighting' for this nation to 'protect' us and yet we know nothing about them. scrolling through the immense list I noticed that the average age is 20-24...

If you are interested in checking out the website here it is: http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2003/iraq/forces/casualties/

And to give you a feel of the long list I copied and pasted all the current deaths whose last names begin with A or B
