    How can a church say premarital sex is temptation and lust and sin, but it's cool if you're LGBT? Likewise, how can a church say we used to have rules, but now these parts no longer apply because secular politics have changed?

    @leonuy3944 Před 9 dny

    This Jose Antonio Vargas and his family had the opportunity to legalize their status in early 2001 through then President Clinton's Immigration Law 245i. They were already adults then. However, they ignored it. I was here without papers too (though I came here legally as a tourist) but I did grabbed the advantage given by President Clinton right away. I looked for an employer who was willing to sponsor me to work as a caregiver in her geriatric nursing homes because that was the job that was available for aliens. My employer followed the legal process. She had to prove to the US Department of Labor that no American citizen wants my job which is a very important work to our society. I humbly accepted the job responsibilities of an aide working in long hours shifts despite my two college degrees in my mother country plus years of graduate school. I was not allowed to change employment while being petitioned. I got my work permit, then eventually my green card and now I am an American citizen doing the job I really love. I think Mr. Vargas now wants blanket amnesty for himself. He and his family continued to break US immigration laws so why should he demand to become a US citizen?

    So fvcking sad to see so many Latinos here being intolerant and prejudiced against a gay Latino who just happens to be a Cholo. They are making all Latinos look bad by doing this and proving the racists right when they say Latinos are uneducated, ignorant, and stupid. Gay people exist in ALL groups, colors and races. If Latinos can't stand together as one, they will fall divided. Get educated.

When are they going to pay reparations? BTW When will Palestinians have equals rights?

    In all likelihood the US will likely become like Brazil. Immigration will likely greatly diminish at some point and then people will just define their ethnic group as American sometime by the 22nd or 23rd century.
