A Father's Sacrifice

This video is related to a March 2010 issue of Sojourners Magazine ( http://su.pr/1lxAXR). In October, 2008, John saw his school friends from his living-room window. He went out to see them. They had stolen a gas can from the back of a pickup truck. The police came. They arrested John, despite his friends protests. Instead of attending high school, John sat in jail.

Posting bail in immigration proceedings is complicated and expensive. The few bail bondsmen who will post an immigration bond require the full amount up front. Johns family struggled to raise the $3,500 needed for bail in addition to lawyer fees. Watch their story.

Fuck you racist bitches. Don't have good shit to say then don't say anything whatsoever. Mexicans aren't criminals. They come here to work & help bring their family forward. Don't say that they come here to steal jobs from Americans, that sure as hell isn't true. When there are jobs open ya'll don't want to work, but when Mexicans go & apply for that job you guys start bitching. How the fuck you gonna do that. If you wanted the job in the first place, you should have applied for it. So if wanna

@incedius420 2012!!! Duh!!!

[incedius420]

@timothyscottgilbert How about a real example of your logic instead of a 2000 year old fairy tail.

[timothyscottgilbert]

@incedius420 By my logic, you would've been throwing the stones at Jesus as he carried the cross, not crying for them to have mercy on him!!!

[incedius420]

@timothyscottgilbert They where third world trash, but they where third world trash that respected the laws of the country they where moving to an entered the country legally. By your logic I should ignore crimes being commitied in the present because of the actions of my country 200 years before i was born. An most of real atrocities towards natives happend well south of the USA.

@incedius420 seems to me, if they really wanted to be americans, they would come to this country on ships and take it away from the NATIVES!!!!!!!! FYI, your ancestors were probably third world trash!!!
