Crisis at United States-Mexican Border

Greetings Everyone,

Wow, some people tend to forget. The American citizens who were and still are holding up signs protesting and shouting and telling the buses to turn around and go back have failed to realize that their ancestors used to be refugees, coming to America, only they were on a ship. While some Americans are saying "No, they can't stay. They can't stay!", ask yourself this question: Did the Native Americans (who were in America first) say "No, they can't stay!", when your ancestors were trying to find "refuge" from their country that they were trying escape from? Simply because your ancestors wanted to choose their religion or have some kind of say in their way of life? American citizens, I think somewhere this country and the people that lived and died here has lost their humanity, and succeeding in being wrapped around their ignorance. As I watched the news, I noticed all the racism the U.S. citizens were displaying with their signs at the Mexican-USA border. I mean, really? The negative attitudes of American citizens' about the crisis at the Mexican-USA border are a disgrace and embarrassment throughout the entire world because of this terrible, negative message is being sent. These refugees who are risking everything by escaping from their own country are human beings. As I said about human beings before, they inhale and exhale through their lungs, bleed the same blood, have the same body organs that function the same way, have voices and talk when they open their mouths. These human beings are trying to escape the horrors of what is going on in their country. Human beings can't go through life being afraid. It isn't healthy going through life in anxiety and fear. These precious human beings want to live, they don't want to die. Freedom is a priceless gift and they have a lot to live for. They need to feel safe in their lives. This crisis at Mexican-USA Border is human obligation. Humans on this earth are obligated to rescue and save other human beings. As human beings, we CAN'T tell the buses filled with refugees to turn around and go home. We can't make the refugees go back to a place that is plagued with violence everywhere they turn their heads, wondering whether will live or die. It will be like throwing and pushing them inside a dark room full of poisonous and deadly snakes while they are reaching for your hand to help them out. These refugees from our neighboring countries need help. There's going to be a time when we as the United States of America will need help from our allies soon. The United States of America alone doesn't have everything regarding resources that are necessary for survival. That is why we have to maintain trading relationships with other countries in order to maintain stability on this earth. The relationships that we as a (United States) country have with our allies (other counties) are bridges that we can't afford to burn.

United States Citizens Taking Second Amendment Too Far

Greetings Everyone,

I read in USA Today that a restaurant called Shooter's Grill in Colorado allows their waitresses to carry their guns around their waist. People, this is beyond crazy. Some American Citizens are taking this Second Amendment in the United States Constitution entirely too far. Sometimes, when people have rights, power and privileges, they have the tendency to abuse them and hurt other people. The love of guns is a sick obsession that has dangerous consequences along the way. Caring a gun on the side of you to a restaurant  or any kind of place intended for family enjoyment would be jeopardizing the safety of other people. Please keep mind that real guns are not toys! Guns hurt, injure, and kill. Guns are so dangerous, they can easily go off because of someone's clumsiness of accidentally being dropped on the floor or the ground from someone's just holding it in their hands. Everyone's human balance isn't stable nor perfect. People have the tendency to drop many objects such as pens, pencils, a stack of paper, or even some keys (even if the keys have been in your hand for a long period of time). When a gun goes off that bullet can go anywhere to an unknown destination, whether it's toward a ceiling or to a wall or to a human being, adult or child, at the same speed of a lightning strike. I, too believe in the right to bare arms, but in reality, there is a limit. In my belief of the Second Amendment of the Constitution, it means protection from crime and danger. I believe in keeping a gun for protection for my place of residence and putting it up in a safe place to keep out of reach of other people, because, after all, a gun can fall into the wrong hands.

Who Do You Think You Are? Open Letter to Pamela Geller

Dear Pamela,

As an Christian American, I too believe in the first amendment of the Constitution. But after I seen that sign on the subway, you went too far Pamela. Pamela who do you think you are? Who are you on this earth to even say or even have the thought in your head about who is more civilized than the other? Do you realize they said the same thing about your parents during the Hitler era?  It is very ignorant as well as arrogant of you to say that someone is better than the other. You as a human on this earth don't have the right to decide or even say who is superior or inferior or who is fit to live on this earth, Pamela. You as a human don't have the right to decide which religion is better than the other, Pamela.  Stop the ignorance Pamela. Your negative attitude won't accomplish anything. Throughout history, the word, "savage" was about people who were different from the Europeans and it was used repeatedly by the European explorers who went to other countries and came across people who didn't look like other Europeans. No one has the right to call anyone on this earth an offensive name simply because they are different from you or you don't understand them. The word, "savage" was used for purposes of racism and it is a word that I despise and hate. When you call someone a savage, you are saying that person is "untaught", "inhuman", and "barbaric". Not everyone's method of teaching is the same, it is different. Not everyone's arrangement of living is the same, it is different. We are all human, we are not wild animals. Whether we are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Islamists, Hindu, White, African American, Native American, Asian, Pacific Islander, Latino, Hispanic, Caribbean, we all bleed the same blood and have the same body organs. We all communicate with our voices. We as people in this world are all children of GOD. GOD made all of us. We as human beings around the world are all unique and that what makes the world fascinating!
