Notes on: This Illegal American Life

This Illegal American Life on Current. Worth watching. You may feel it's sympathetic to the illegals but they ones shown are all employed by American companies. Our agricultural infrastructure is based on these people.

You know, I used to watch Current all the time and this is why.

Watching this documentary; I would fund these kids to go to college because they're not taking the American Dream for granted. I actually think someone should start a movement to sponsor all these kids to become citizens; to create a network of Americans who will take on the responsibility of making these kids, who grew up here their whole lives and are de facto citizens, if not on paper, into true American citizens.

When you learn the kind of shit that people endure to come here - to WORK! - I think it's a testament to the character of these people. The idea that any woman crossing illegally can expect to be raped; that children walk through a desert for five or six days: what did you have to endure to work in America? What did it cost you to become a citizen? Perhaps we are all Paris Hiltons of citizenship: rich, gifted and spoiled with the wealth of a society we were lucky to be born into.
