Undocumented Worker. A transglobal personal perspective

[Gina123451000]

Hey, how are things? I like your video, I am actually thinking about playing this one in my class because I am thinking maybe having an american talking about the issue could come up better than me " a non resident alien" speaking about it...plus I love the fact that you always use your personal experiences....thanks for doing this...it is good work!!!

Hello. Glad you're taking these issues into the classroom. No matter what your opinion, folks need spaces to think critically and learn how to listen to disagreement! It's a skill that your students will carry everywhere. Please do share this video, and please share how it all goes.

Also,how did sexual orientation come into the discussion.. that was never mentioned was it? Are you projecting?

[diepiriye]

People tend to project. Hopefully here I've done a pretty good job at making clear that I am sharing my own experience. As for sexuality, please don't get me started. My partner could not join me in America if I needed to go for an extended time, or decided to move home, so yes, I want to know what the fundamentalists say about separating my family, too. Of course, we am educated and have more employment opps than many folks in the whole world, so I do not compare my situation directly.

@YogiToad

Sexual orientation? People who hate rarely distinguish the 'other'.

[jrscandy]

You have helped me to think about things a little deeper. love ya big brother.

[diepiriye]

[YogiToad]

How many millions of sex crimes were perpetrated by adult heterosexual Americans? Many. Should we castrate straight me and kick them out of the system? Seriously, plus straight me are more likely to harass us 'girly' men, emotionally abandon their families, and committee white collar crimes. Where do we draw the lines? or, do we simply adopt a humanitarian approach? And, please do not forget that millions of Americans are hit directly or indirectly be diseases which know no borders.

The F.B.I. quote was not about providing health care,it's about the dangers of having undocumented persons in your country.Health care should be provided for anyone in an emergency,but not generalized health care.This pie in the sky concept of free for all medicine will bankrupt the system.I'm not talking about NOT providing health care for all American CITIZENS I'm speaking about non citizens.You simply cannot provide health care for everyone that wanders across the border,that's ridiculous.

[diepiriye]

Thanks for the encouragement. Keep enjoying, commenting, and talking with others in your daily life.

[YogiToad]

Is this a put off?

[diepiriye]

A put off? Hmm, well, I certainly do appreciate your comments and willingness to engage in dialogue. I also hope that you consider these issues in your daily interactions, and not just in cyberspace. How we choose to respect, or disrespect other people, particularly those who are different from us is ultimately more important than where we start in so far as communicating ideas about one another.

Do you find that people are generally insincere with you?

[YogiToad]

Im the kind of person that can talk about anything.When I say that,it's because I do not consider any subject off limits,and this can put people off.I find myself making the greater effort and people generally misunderstand my intentions when I speak on things as their minds are loaded with pre conceived idealisms. It is hard to find truly objective,rational people to speak with. but, I don't come here looking for logic,however I come here because you are an inwardly rich and beautiful person.

[YogiToad]

You cannot give every illegal alien health care.They don't do that even in the most liberal countries like Norway,where my family is from.You have to budget and that budget must be set in a controllable framework. Also, illegal aliens, not to be tripe,but to put it in perspective how having undocumented persons in your environment puts you at risk,the following stat was put out by the F.B.I.: One million sex crimes were perpetrated by illegal aliens on American Children in the last three years.

It really is weird to hear people complaining about undocumented workers because if those workers were all deported the economy would collapse in a hot minute.

btw giving thanks for your vids. Happy Thanksgiving!

[diepiriye]

Amen!  And thanks!
