constant ramblings...

An article I just stumbled upon made me think more about the effects of immigrants, legal or illegal, staying in America. I have mixed feelings regarding this issue. In my opinion I think it’s kind of unfair to U.S. citizens or legal immigrants that illegal aliens are able to work and not have to pay the taxes because they don’t have their papers but then in my mind I’m like if they only had or have a chance of making things right I think almost all of them would fix their papers so they could work legally opening more opportunities for them even though they need to pay taxes it would still make their lives better than working illegally. Another side of me thinks that if the government would make it easy for illegal aliens to work in America then everybody would just migrate here because they think life here is way better than their native country or have the American dream instead of staying in their native country and I am not sure what effect it would bring to America if that happens. I mean I’ll put it this way, people in the Philippines thinks that life here is all that and easy and we would make jokes before that if the U.S. embassy would let Filipinos get visas I think almost everybody in the Philippines would move to America instead. Though the immigration issue is more looking onto the Mexicans or the America Mexico border I don’t think it makes a difference regarding people who came from like the Philippines on a tourist visa and they don’t come back home because for me they all stay here for a reason and that is wider range of opportunities and wanting to make their lives better. I don’t think it’s the right thing for the government to make a law that would make illegal immigrants as criminals but I think they do have to be punished in some way because it is indeed unfair for other people (punished but not treated or called as criminals because they still have done something wrong).

I liked this part though -- "You should send the entire 13 million aliens home, then you take all of the welfare recipients who are taking a free check and make them do those jobs," said Jack Culberson, a retired Army colonel who attended the Pensacola rally. "It's as simple as that." It does have a point. It’s like this the government of America will never know what they have till it’s gone meaning all the immigrants working here still makes up this country buttering each others bread but then for me I don’t know as well what the13 million illegal aliens migrating here would have an effect in this country I mean would it make America a worst place to live in? I don’t know that’s why I really couldn’t make a stand because I myself am not sure about the cause and effects in each others party. I can only give my opinion on it…

On a lighter note, I had fun today because I went out with this person I met and for some odd reason he makes me smile and because of that I am a little bit worried for myself. I just remembered like right now how pessimist I used to be because I would always tell myself before that good things never last but then what if I’m not right? What if good things last and they really happen to people who deserve it?
Just like what I always say I know how it feels to fall deeply in love but I also know how it feels to be left by the same exact person you love maybe that’s why I’m scared and I have always been after my failed relationships. I am still scared of taking risks because I don’t want to make a mistake and stumble and fall again because I might not be able to pick myself up anymore. Right now I’m just enjoying the feeling even though I can’t stop getting all paranoid, I still want to enjoy it…

I am sure I’ll find the right one… I’m not waiting for him because God will give me the person at the right time when I’m ready and willing to open up and love again. If this happened to me before I would be all hyped up and excited but now I’m not anymore coz’ I feel more nervous, tensed and paranoid than all mushy, sweet, sentimental and kilig. I still have no regrets with choices I have made in the past (may it be right or wrong) because I am who I am right now by learning from my mistakes… “Experience is the best teacher” and “What doesn’t kill me only makes me stronger”…

“It is easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song, but the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, and it always comes with years, and the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through the tears.” –Irish Saying
