Foreigner wearing the Wrong Shoes

"We are all foreigners of this world, our life is a temporary life here on earth...we strive to survive, we acquire our worldly acomplishments, yet it will all come to past...."

I am now 27 years old, soon to be 28.  For the last 14years or so, I have been a stranger, a foreigner of this land, I am stranger of culture, language, and beliefs. I am that individual like most foreigners of this Great Country - USA, I am just as much of a foreigner as anyone.  However, I have spent most of my life adjusting and although I will never complete the cycle of conformity and be 100% accepted by those "judgementally" folks out there; I continue to strive forward.


Lately there have been series of events taking place of acts of discrimination, haunting looks, vicious words of anger and poisenous stabs towards those of us that regardless of inmigration status, will forever carry that label in our foreheads.  The "Promised Land" to those who cross the border has turned the honey into a bitter tar of death, judment, and a hunt for survival all over again.  The Land founded by inmigrants even those who traveled by the Mayflower and landed in this Northern territory were as we are today, inmigrants.  They came and took the land of the true American Natives...all those wars, the deaths, the tears shed....yet it is beginning to repeat itself. 


I know most will not jump into agreement, neither am I looking to have anyone agree in any way shape or form.  We are the land of Christianity, we are those who call ourselves true followers, yet when one sheep falls short, I see no one running out to try and help this sheep out.  We are always trying to be so politically correct that we forget the true meaning of Following our Father. 


It is very ironic how a native of an inmigrant signs into Law a law that is designed to potentially corral all undocumented workers out of the fields, out of the construction sites, out of the dirty labors that no one else wants to do.  There is a HIKE of unemployemnt, however, no one is running out to get the jobs that those foreigners are willing to do...Sure, agriculture giants are at fault for hiring low wage workers. 


Let's just say, I am highly disappointed that because I am different in every way than a tradicional "North American" I am now facing racial profiling.  Regardless of my education, my "status," my apparance will be sufficient in order for an officer of the law to question me.


I am disappointed that no matter what we do, how much contribution we give our goverment, we are still at the lowest of the pit.  Mind you, I know nothing about politics, but enough to have a common sense that we are driving our economy down, we are not getting our money back because of all the drug lords in Mexico, central, and South America are pulling the money down....


This life is a temporary life, our life is barrowed for us to show our hearts for others, to reach out and help the helpless...to provide comfort, shelter, feed those less fortunate than us.  We condem those who "reproduce" regardless if they have the means to provide for their families or not, we condem those and take the frustration as an obligation to do something about it...we also condem those who actually work hard in order to sustain those in their family.  We sit back and talk about ways that "those" people should follow, that they should have more education, we sit back and talk....yet we don't take initiative to take a step forward and say, I will be that difference, I will help this community out and give them a piece of my knowledge....we simply sit back, relax, and let other's put their grain of sand and hope that it counts for all.


********


I apologize if anyone disagrees, feels offended, or simply thinks I have no idea of what I am talking about.  Take the time to ask me and I will share. I have lived through it all.  And yet, I sit here and continue to experience every bit of that in a different time, culture, and from those whom I would've never thought I would receive such treatment.


I mean no harm, and I am simply speaking out my disapointed heart.  I had been meaning to finish this draft, however, I know I will not get any further. SO here is what I have so far....I might return and talk abit more, however, I have no energy nor time to complete this.


God bless everyone, God Bless this Country for we need it....we are the GIANTS of this world, yet we are falling...
