Immigration: A quiet nation will never be heard By Richardalamia
Written by Thomas
No forgiveness or forgetting must have for those who betrayed or opposed to the legalization of undocumented students and even less for those who sabotaged the possibility of comprehensive immigration reform in 2010 and had their hands on the achievement of positive change for country.
After that wonderful and amazing period in the spring of 2006, in which nature and the songs thrived crowded with people clamoring illusio
"if possible", the Colombian artist based in Charlotte, Edwin Gil, painted an oil painting of his distant signature style on the subject.
In the play, mainly dominated by the blue and white, the figures of two young women, the overall perspective gives us a row of people wearing white shirts and the background is an American flag with its stars and stripes.
Edwin donated the painting to MiGente, Charlotte newspaper that I made in that time and which I recently re-ordered.
The paint contains a slogan that must become the point of reflection for the immigrant population and its allies act now, "the silent people will never be heard."
From 2010 we have the bitter taste of failure to achieve the approval of the Dream Act that would potentially benefit about two million young people who may possibly be able to legalize their immigration status.
This year's ungrateful, it dies, it is also in memory on March 21, when more than 200,000 people gathered in the area of Washington DC monuments to remember the promise that President Barack Obama did to the Hispanic community being a candidate in 2008, to achieve comprehensive immigration reform in his first year in office.
Impressive to see how the capital's families, white skin and blue eyes, offered him applause and water to the pilgrims dressed in white walked back to the Stadium Robert F. Kennedy, to take the bus and return to their homes.
I made the journey in the company of television producer Maria Ceballos, a Puerto Rican professional who had traveled from Atlanta, who that day excited expressed optimism that the issue of immigration reform was taken up on Capitol Hill.
Unfortunately, despite the efforts of pro-immigrant sectors, overcame cowardice of legislators and the reform or even tried.
Now that everything is lost, there is no other option but to insist that the executive to halt the deportations and follow the steps of the dreamers who conducted hunger strikes, sit-ins, protests and walks LF for their cause.
These guys used the new technologies, social networks, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, BlackBerry and other mobile phones in pursuit of its objective.
There were quiet, chat, text and have vowed not to remain silent. Have indicated that their struggle continues.
Hopefully in the same way, in 2011, planted the seed of the necessary civil rights movement of immigrants, leading to generate national awareness in support of giving immigration status to the most vulnerable.
They also left the task to organize Hispanic voters for the elections to come, that Latino voters have weight with Democrats and Republicans, and passed the bill on the ballot for the traitorous politicians and bigots.
You have to speak up for the president to remove the hat goblet, like the Magi, a formula that can fulfill the commitment they made and that it failed to accomplish in the first two years of his mandate.
