Latinos who got here first should sympathize with others
Posted on: February 22nd, 2007“When your mail is filled with hatred and vicious remarks from xenophobic native-born Americans who are inexplicably offended by your calls for compassion for illegal immigrants, somehow you get used to it. You accept the fact that intolerance is prevalent in this nation of immigrants.
But when those remarks come from foreign-born Americans, immigrants who want to deny other immigrants the opportunities they had when they came to this country, you cant help it — you get indigestion.”
