Laura Elizabeth is a sellout to her own race. The bitch just needs to wear a blonde wig and get blue contacts. I bet she wouldn't be where she is today if someone in her family crossed the Rio Grande sometime in the past.

Typical insane Leftist resorting to personal attacks instead of using logic!

[edgein76]

Ok, lets use logic. How many businesspeople and farmers do you hear complaining about "illigal" immigration? None! Lorplaid you benefit more from "illigal" immigration than you will ever know. Immigrants put more into the economy than they pull out. "But they are criminals" That is your response right? Anglos killed Native Americans, enslaved Blacks,and killed anyone who wasn't like them.

[lorplaid]

So we should hold employers accountable for exploiting these people.

@lorplaid Exactly, and stop bitching about a statue.

[aafaking]

@lorplaid oh come on, typical insane leftist. this tactic, personal attacks, is used by everyone....

That statue is a beautiful piece of art, I'm glad it's still there today :-)

Regarding coming here legally, its pretty easy to just say "why dont they just come here legally?". But do you actually have any idea of how hard it is for some of these people to get a passport/VISA from the Mexican government? Its a long process and very few people meet the qualifications required.

Usually the ones that get these passports are university students and the wealthy, in other words the people that arent struggling. They usually just use them to tour the country.

Tiberius, Im one of those people. I came here legally very young, grew up here, and now Im attending UTSA. Guess what though, that wouldnt have been possible if my father hadnt crossed illegally and if it wasnt for the amnesty during the early-mid 90s. Thats the case for alot of Mexican people here in Southern Texas as well, even if we arent illegals we're here directly bc of illegal immigration. So to see someone like this Morales chick advocate against it is just plain hypocritical and stupid.

"Ah, ah,

We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,

Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are young overlords."

@kannibaleinzivil88 She came here legally, like most people did in this country. Not by jumping borders illegally and undocumented like the Mexicans have done in recent history.

[TiberiusFlavian]

@sa78223 Actually, believe it or not, some Latins actually come into this country LEGALLY. I know it's hard for some people to comprehend. My family came here legally and we want something done with our borders. Of course, the illegal aliens from mexico are trying to ruin the party for everyone by coming here in hoardes. C'mon quit making it hard for the other people in the world to get here LEGALLY. We can't let the whole country of mexico in, be reasonable.

[sa78223]

wait is this still there? i know ive seen a statue on campus in that location but i dont know if its the same one never paid much attention to it.

by the way that morales chick is a moron and a disgrace to mexican-americans, she's likely in this country as a result of illegal immigration yet she's over here talking shit about them. most of yall are clueless about it too yall act as if migrating illegally is a choice for these people, usually its that or starve.

I don't think this statue advocates a illegal act. It is simply representing part of the history of South Texas.
