famous quote. A dream defered

" I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and little white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers" __by Martin Luther King J.r





This quote is like the main idea of the speech " i have a dream" that Martin Luther King J.r gave when African Americans were discriminated and considered as the lowest humans ever. This quote graved my attention allot because it was Martin Luther kings dream back then and still that dream hasn't come true. There are still people that are very races towards any race, for example people still criticise couples of different color skin, we supposed to be considered the same and people til this day get amazed when they see different skin color couples. Votes for a new president is around the corner and people are basing there votes in the race of the candidate.





Back then many African American people looked up to Martin because he had that great courage to stand up for freedom. All the people liked this quote because they also had the same dream. They wanted to be treated equal and wanted to have peace with the white people and be together like brothers and sisters. I think that allot of people also have this dream too.








What happens to a dream diferred?



Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore, and then run?
Does it stink like rottn meat?
Or crust and sugar over like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?








What happens to a dream on file?

What happens to a dream on file?
Does it melt like ice in the summmer?

or does it bun like paper,

Does it smell like dirty clothes?

or is it crispy and sweet like cereal?

May be it just rots like fruit.
or does it swimm away??

DREAMING

Interviewing my mom and asking her questions about her American dream was not easy because she was cooking and hardly payed attention in what she was doing, but this is her American Dream...

Me: when you were in Mexico what made you take the decision to come to the U.S?
MOM: I Imagined that the U.S was a place were people get allot of money in any type of job you get, i also imagined Chicago as a very nice City. Since i didn't see kids having good futures in Mexico i decided to move to the U.S with you.

ME: Where you satisfied or disappointed with your life in the U.S?
MOM:I was disappointed in the beginning because i dint get a job where i was well payed but as years went by me and you father bought a house by little village. So that when my kids grow up yous don't have to be paying house payments or renting. And it is amazing how me and your dad don't get payed well, but we do have money to pay the house!

ME: What did you wanted to accomplish when you came to the U.S?
MOM: i really didn't imagine buying a house it seemed impassible for me back then, but i just came here so you and your brother can have a better future, me having a better job, and when I had only 3 months in the U.S i started to learn how to read and write English

ME: Did learning English help?
MOM: OH YES! it did help me allot, i was able to help my kids in there school work, and when i went to the doctor i understood most of what the doctors were saying. Everything i went to apply for a job the people spoke English but i already knew a couple of English so i understood everything i needed to know and got my way threw.

ME: Which dream you think is the most important to you?
MOM: Since i couldn't do much of my self to become a successful person, i know what it is like not to have a good job, and i don't want my kids to go threw all that pain like i did and i want them to graduate from College and have a Carrier.

ME: you just told me about your American dream until this point, but is it going to be the same 10 years from now? or will it change?
MOM: Dreams change as we grow older. I came to the U.S with one purpose only, and it was to make my kids life easier. But when my kids have a Carrier and they know there way threw life i think that my job is over and i want to have enough money to go back to Mexico where i grew up.

ME: Has your dreams came true?
MOM: No not yet only the one in buying a house, but my kids still need to graduate from collage. But i have hops that my kids end up with a carrier.

I look up to my mom alot and i always take examples from her, and iam proud of her because she never let go of a dream and she is astrong lady that has taught me alot, and iam sure that all her dreams will come tru.

Theres NO Harm!

Is heart breaking when a person destroys your dream is in it? Dreams are being destroyed when the government separates families. Each immigrant comes with a dream it might be to get a better job, a better education or some of them come to the United Stated to look for fame, just like Celia Cruz, a famous Cuban salsa singer that came with a dream of becoming a singer, and with a lot of effort she realized her dream. I believe that nobody has the right to destroy dreams so easily because it requires a lot of hard work, sacrifices, and time to accomplish a dream. Hard work for many years will be absolutely worthless because a cold hearted group of people just choose to separate you from your family and destroy dreams. Imagine that it took you 15 years to finally your dream and you also have plans in the future how would you feel if somebody just takes you apart from your family and send you to a country were you have to start dream goals over again.? I bet that if the situation was the other way around, when the legal citizens are the ones being separated by families and being discriminated will go insane and will have the need to speak up to the unfair treatment, just likeimmigrants do now.

There is a huge stereotype of Latinos and other races that immigrate to the united states, they are known as criminals, that is an incorrect stereotype. Me as a Latina I comprehend that there are about eight to ten Latinos, African, Chinese people that are involved in gangs and criminal acts. Many legal citizens always put this out to make it clear that we are the ones making the streets unsafe, but people are people and people make mistakes all the time that does not mean that documented people are perfect. There are many documented people that are worst than criminals and the gang members put together, that’s a point that I don’t understand, many U.S citizens that have documents and obviously have a better chance in getting a good job, but some off them don’t take advantage of that when there are immigrant families that are waiting to be documented. There are many U.S citizens that are out begging for money, while most of the immigrants always look for different ways to earn honest money, they are the best sales men in my eyes, they sell home made food, or sale things that they don’t need instead of begging for money. Immigrants should stay in U.S because they are no more different than documented people. Everyone makes mistakes regardless of there race.

Immigrants make a huge difference in the united states, regardless of the jobs they do that others wont, they have also made there cultures in U.S very popular such as the China Town, Mexican food, Italian food, and don't forget the variety of dances that Latinos have, and many white people enjoy other cultures and if it wasn't for the immigrants U.S wouldn't be known as a multicultural country. It is very true that not any people will work in the jobs that the immigrants work in, it takes only very humble people to do the dirty work that others don't want to do, but there are other people that earn their money in a different way that does require allot of work in the sense of the mind, and those are the people that work to pay the immigrants and the way that i see immigration, u.s would collapse with out them. but just like the U.S needs the immigrants, the immigrants need them to, like to get jobs, to get payed. Altogether we make a community with out each other we wont be as successful as we want to.

Glenn Beck's History of Illegal Immigration

My toughts relate to my mentality of immigrants. What would thhis country be without us.? i like a quote in the video that says. "agricultural workforce make up a central porpotion and without them the industry will collapse." i stongly agree with that quote, and most of the agricultural work is done by immigrants. therefore they should stay.






This video was great when i saw it... it has a tiny bit of humor, and it tells you about the basic immigratin issues. This video made it clearer about how the immigration started in the U.S, and how some presidents had an impact in immigration changes threw the years. Just becarefull the guy talkin (Glen Beck) talks to fast so try to capture the message.
