Comments on: Immigration, Reformation http://travisthornton.net/2007/06/09/immigration-reformation/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=immigration-reformation Documenting history as it happens. Thu, 12 Jan 2012 04:56:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Robert http://travisthornton.net/2007/06/09/immigration-reformation/comment-page-1/#comment-213 Robert Fri, 06 Jun 2008 15:03:50 +0000 http://travisthornton.net/?p=11#comment-213 That was possibly the most off-topic and delayed responses to one of your posts. I don't really think that he had an understanding of the topic if that was his response. The topic clearly addresses the fact that immigration should be reformed not ended totally. I also happen to know that our family have had close relationships with Hispanic friends in high school. I will forever be "Roberto" to Roni, Paco, Tortean, Juan, Otra Juan, y todos mis amigos from the soccer team. I will also remain the only gringo to ever score a goal for LHS soccer. I am married to a Hispanic woman. The comment just hits a raw nerve with me because of our family history of being so close to the Hispanic community.

I, in fact, love the Mexican people, as my Mexican friends were highly influential during my formative years in high school. I drove an extra twenty minutes every morning to pick two of my Mexican friends up for cross country practice before school. I don't even think English should be required for entry into this country. I only wish for a closer controlled border during this time of multiple global wars, and call for massive reformation of the INS, among other federal bureacracies, without the possibility of deportation. Clearly, this position puts me on the other side of the conservative platform, and is the major reason why I am a social libertarian, and not a social conservative.</p> Even a layman’s approach to this post should have left you with the impression that I am not opposed to legal immigration at all, and do not “hate the Mexican people.” I, in fact, love the Mexican people, as my Mexican friends were highly influential during my formative years in high school.
