Voice of Art - Migration Is Beautiful, Pt. 1

Meet powerhouse artist/activist Favianna Rodgriguez -- a leading voice in the movement of artists raising awareness about U.S. immigration issues. Favianna is a co-founder of both Presente.org and Culture Strike, two groups pushing back against the wave of anti-immigrant rhetoric and legislation that has recently swept the nation. Pulitzer Prize winning author Jose Antonio Vargas explains the ironies of anti-immigration hysteria in a country founded by immigrants. Favianna participates in a visual campaign using the Monarch Butterfly as a symbol of the beauty and dignity of migrants.

Congratulations to all the racists out there for just proving my theory of how all of you are so ignorant. Read a damn book and educate yourselves before you whine about how we are all just coming in illegally and getting handouts. I'm sure your IMMIGRANT ancestors filled out all the paper work and didn't break a single law..right...

Rich people are destroying and the immigrants are building this country. The bankers, the politicians are responsible.

Wow great piece.

[Chris Ayeni]

Immigration is beautiful. Committing crimes by ILLEGALLY crossing the border is not. And for those whining over the founding fathers, back then it wasn't a crime to immigrate to the New World without papers and that happened over a century ago GET OVER IT and stop using it as an excuse to support crime.

Immigration is not that simple. There must be some rules for immigration.
