Immigration reform is an issue that has been feeling closer and closer to home with what's been happening in Arizona and other states trying to follow in their rascist footsteps such as Colorado, Nebraska and even places like Costa Mesa here in Southern California. I'm a first generation born here from immigrated parents who came to the States from Mexico. People like my parents and others who immigrated like them, have given themselves opportunities that they couldn't fathom before coming here and creating brand new lives in the U.S. I have aunts, uncles, cousins and all types of relatives that have all taken advantage of the opportunities available to them here. To me, what SB 1070 represents is a rascist law that has been created by a group of people who wish people like my aunts and uncles, or even my parents, all seeking the possiblity of a better life for themselves, would never have had that chance to begin with. This is why The Sound Strike is important.
