I am a shadow

“Immigrants today, however, have no one to fight for them. Indeed, they are precluded from the fight. With our current attitudes, we complain about them working the high-skilled jobs for which they have been qualified through education and experience, and we sit by silently and allow them to do the jobs that we are unwilling to perform. In the midst of this hypocrisy, we do not even allow them a foothold to secure their rights, in spite of a marked tradition of doing so in the past. This fact constitutes perhaps the most damning aspect against any argument that aliens are not a suspect class…They cannot better their situation and must rely on citizens to take up their causes. They are silenced and shut out of the legal debate.” This was written by Judge Liotti from New York as he thinks it is unconstitutional to deny licenses to immigrants. Fellow blogger Open Border Lobby has more on that, and thanks for the quote by the way.

I believe the quote to be true, going along in the same lines of my earlier post, Silence that kills. It is a killer silence that only immigrants or very close friends of immigrants can understand. It is heartbreaking. I blog in order to break that silence and to allow my voice to be heard. It is the only thing I can do.
