Hispanish?

So, as you all know or may not know, I'm Hispanic. Go figure, right? Well, I'm Honduran and have lived in America since I've been adopted, about 10 years ago. Anyways, I have a family that is different. My mother is mixed, African American and Caucasian. My uncle is from Trinidad and Tobago. My biological father is Honduran. Anyways, I have a variety of cultures living around me. I love it. I get to know more about the way life is in other countries. Most importantly, I get to embrace other people.
Now, I can't seem to see how come there's an immigration law being made to find the "aliens" living in Arizona. It's like they're pushing human beings away and making them feel like they don't belong. So, I've been real annoyed at the fact that people want to make sure "immigration" is taken care of but there's always "their" side. See, I come from both sides of the argument. Yes, I understand that there may "too many people" here not paying bills or living life freely. (Now isn't that what we all want though; to live freely?) Most of the immigrants come to the U.S.A. to begin a new life, to follow their dreams, and to support their families.
Come on, aren't you a family person too? Don't you want the best for your people, your community, yourself? We all do but some of these immigrants are not only supporting themselves when they move here, but they could be supporting their parents, a loved one, brothers and sisters and even other family members. Now here, we have the same thing. So what's the difference? Immigrants, well not all, want to live in this place called America. They want to be able to provide a new life for their families and their loved ones. The laws aren't always set up to help people become a part of this community so they are shunned but they are still human beings. Everyone wants to fit in and be accepted, others have to fight for it. And that's what I'm doing. I am fighting for the rights of my people and the injustice of the world.
I know that there are immigrants who aren't helpful but there are many more who want to be a part of this community and want to improve their society. They can't do it alone. That's why we must stand up and embrace everyone. You never know, you might find your best friend.

So, as you may know this is our new blog for SHP. We have decided to share our thoughts and our opinions or point of views on life. Here we will discuss things from inequality, equality, education, justice, love or just world events and issues. We will let you into our thoughts and allow you to understand where we are coming from. We feel that it is our duty, especially as SuperHeroes to save the world with words. We plan on uplifting, educating, motivating and supporting the people who need that positivity in their life. Now, this is just the beginning. Keep in touch and follow us on here.
Thanks for your time and support.
