i guess not everybody can have the same look on things

sometimes i feel like shit when people don’t agree with me. well, mostly always. i’m not a very argumentative person. i give up very easily. i’ll always be the first to say ‘you’re right, i’m wrong.’ sometimes i feel guilty when people don’t agree with me. i feel like i’ve offended someone. i’m a fairly opinionated person, but only to myself. and this blog.

so anyways, i guess what made me feel bad was over this fb status. this girl was complaining because arizona passed another law against illegal immigrants. it was something about children not being considered legal, even if they were born here. i’m not going to say i agree with it, but i don’t necessarily agree with any of it. i think legalization should just be made easier. that way they’ll pay taxes like we do, have an equal opportunity to jobs like we do, and just not have to be worried about being deported like we do. it would make things so much easier. but i mean, it doesn’t work like that, so we’ve got to work with what we’ve got. since illegal immigrants DO have to worry about being deported, i don’t think it’s fair when they have children on US soil so their child can stay when they have to leave. i know they want their child to have a better life, but most foster families/orphanages are not a better life. my grandma works for cps, so i’m pretty skeptical of child care services by default. i think being with your family would be so much better than even chancing a life in a home with 20 other children. you pretty much lose that bond between children and parents, the attention you receive, the caring factor. i mean, you’re really just another head that has to be taken care of. unless you get lucky and are placed into a good home, but still…that’s not a fair chance.

i think it’s better to be deported with your family, so that at least you’re with people who love you. i mean, they had you in the US so that you could have a better life, so obviously they do love you. but if that doesn’t work out, you’re still together. you’re still a family. and you’ll never lose that. you’ll grow up knowing that at least your parents tried to give you a better life. and hey, who knows what the laws could be in the future. maybe they’ll make the legalizing process easier. but for know, you have to work with what you’ve got. and i think sticking together, and keeping that family bond is the best way to be able to cope with things.

blegh. iewjneofklefd. i hope i don’t sound closed minded or something.
