The writing on the Statue of Liberty says:
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Today marks an incredible event in History. Before our eyes major cities have shut down due to a mainly grassroots movement protesting the Immigration Bill. These are the movements that will change the future! In a society that seems to become more apathetic with every passing of a Congressional bill and running of a new Senate race, a fight has finally emerged. The streets of Chicago are filled with protesters marching and chanting “Si Se Puede” (Yes We Can). This is not just Hispanic involvement, it is also important to remember that there are Irish, Arabs, Chinese, Koreans and many other immigrants marching in cities around the US. Asserting their rights as participants in “the Land of the Free!” Doing jobs that the ever-increasingly educated American population refuses to do and living as important and vital parts of our communities. In becoming a sector of our nation, their children hoping for a better education and life then the ones that have gone before. Who are we to make felons out of our neighbors, our friends, our classmates and our fellow country men and women? They are our brothers and sisters and they deserve a voice!
Check out the bill and see what you think. Make your decision!
I am going to Grant Park to see history in the making!

First, to the one who says: "God never said anyone was illegal"is simply wrong. LEGAL means, having to do with the law. God says: "Everyone who sins,breaks the law;IN FACT sin is lawlessness"1st John 3:4.Even so,keeping the law only makes one not subject to its consequences. Do you understand that? So, obeying all the "rules" garners no favor with God. It only keeps one from His condemnation. The problems we have, have nothing at all to do with the SEPARATION of church and state, but of the two in close proximity. The pure cannot be mixed with the impure and still remain pure. "God is no respecter of men" Acts 10:34-35.We are commanded to love our brothers and sisters (1st John 3:23-24).So the question was asked: who is my brother? and God answered: Mark 3:35. Whoever does His will! White men or Black,Hispanic,or Asian, nationality makes NO difference. ONLY the one who keeps His commandments. NOW, What were you saying about "Illegals"?
