Lord why are people so quick to judge what they don't comprehend, instead of thinking before they open their mouths? Classifying every man, woman and youth that's in the United States without a Green Card as a terrorist or criminal ... Just isn't cool ...
Have these individuals forgotten that the U.S. is a melting pot full of immigrants from ALL over the world that have gathered here in search of the American Dream, followed by attempting to help their siblings financially in their homelands? We say this because as Pastors, we've had the honor to really get to know alot of them, pray for and even assist them in their search for employment, a place they can call home and in enrolling their children in school too. Did you know that Undocumented teens take pride in furthering their educations?
One more thing, would any of you like to join us in Praying for these men, women and youth that wish to legalize their status in the United States? Before you answer, think to yourself what would Jesus do?
Philippians 2:4 ~ Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

ONE DAY WHEN THE MARCH WAS GOING DOWN IN LOS ANGELES, MY FAMILY AND I DECIDED TO GO HAVE BREAKFAST AT A LOCAL DINER! WELL, LET ME TELL YOU, THE MENU ONE A PRINTED ONE SHEET AND WE WERE SERVED ON A PAPER PLATE! OK, WELL, I ASK WHY AND THE GIRL WHO WAS OUR SERVER SAID THAT THE WORKERS THAT WORKED THERE HAD GONE TO LOS ANGELES FOR THE MARCH! ALL THE MEXICAN WORKERS HAD GONE! SO SHE OPEN HER MOUTH ABOUT THE WHYS AND HOW COMES OF THESE WORKERS, "ALL THESE WORKERS WANT THE SAME FREEDOM AS ANYONE ELSE," I SAID. WELL, SHE SURE SET HERSELF UP FOR THE NEXT THING I SAID, WITHOUT EVEN GIVING A SECOND WIND, " YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!" I WAS VERY UPSET. MY HERITAGE ROOTS ARE FROM MEXICO, AND PEOPLE GOT TO UNDERSTAND THAT EVEN THOUGH CALIFORNIA IS NOT MEXICO, IT USED TO BE AT ONE TIME. THE MEXICO BORDERS INTO CALIFORNIA, WHAT THE HECK DO THESE PEOPLE THINK, WHEN ALL YOU SEE ARE THESE "MEXICANS" WORKING IN THE FIELDS AND OTHER UNDESIRED WORK. WHO ELSE IS GONNA DO IT. MEXICANS ARE HARD WORKERS. AYE, IT JUST REALLY MAKES ME SO MADE HOW THEY ARE REALLY MISTREATED!!! GRRRRR!!!
