Victories

The misguided beliefs some people have with Illegal Immigrants.

One of the most common reasons people have against illegal immigrants is that they feel they are all criminals because they broke the laws that dictates who may come into the United States. Therefore, these types of immigrants are "criminals" and we do not want those kind of people in "OUR" country! Such condemnation discombobulates what is legal with what is moral. The history of the United States is crammed with people who disobeyed unjust laws and were morally justified in doing so. Take for example the American Revolution, it was fought by brave patroits (men and women) who violated Englands laws of King George III. If they were caught the punishment would have been death by hanging for treason. So if commiting a crime makes you a criminal all our Founding Fathers are criminals, which makes us a nation of criminals. But, alas no one believes this misguided belief today. Take another example of Dred Scott a runaway slave. He violated the "Fugitive Slave Act" by running away from the Southern slave masters in the beginning to mid 1800's. Slaves that were found were given back to their masters and even people found helping or harboring slaves were prosecuted. Now many people that were tried had their case nullified by juries declaring the law was unjust. Juries usually rejected prosecuting anyone having dealings with the "Underground Railroad". I doubt the majority of Americans today would call a runaway slave a "criminal". And in the 1930's the SS St. Louis which carried hundreds of Jews to the U.S. were coercively refused under the pretense of immigration quotas, the majority of them were murdered in Hitler's concentration camps. But what if these immigrants violated U.S. law and entered our country illegally. Would we still call them "criminals"? I would hope not!

Las creencias equivocadas que algunas personas tienen con los inmigrantes ilegales.

Una de las razones más comunes tienen contra los inmigrantes ilegales es que se sienten todos ellos son criminales porque violaron las leyes que dicta que puedan entrar en los Estados Unidos. Por lo tanto, estos tipos de inmigrantes son "criminales" y no queremos ese tipo de personas en "nuestro" país! Tal condena discombobulates lo que es legal con lo que es moral. La historia de los Estados Unidos está repleto de personas que desobedecieron las leyes injustas y fueron la justificación moral de hacerlo. Tomemos por ejemplo la Revolución Americana, que fue librada por patroits valiente (hombres y mujeres) que violaron las leyes Englands del rey George III. Si ellos fueron capturados el castigo habría sido la muerte en la horca por traición. Así que si la comisión de un delito convierte en criminal a todos nuestros Padres Fundadores son criminales, que nos hace una nación de criminales. Pero, por desgracia nadie cree que esta creencia errónea de hoy. Tomemos otro ejemplo de Dred Scott un esclavo fugitivo. Se violó la "Ley de Esclavos Fugitivos" por huir de los amos esclavistas del Sur, en el inicio y mediados de 1800. Los esclavos que se encontraron fueron devueltos a sus dueños e incluso las personas encuentran ayuda o protección a los esclavos fueron procesados. Ahora muchas personas que habían tratado su caso anulado por los jurados que se declara la ley era injusta. Los jurados suelen rechazar enjuiciar a cualquier persona que tiene tratos con el "Underground Railroad". Dudo que la mayoría de los estadounidenses hoy en día llamar a un esclavo fugitivo un "criminal". Y en la década de 1930 la SS St. Louis que llevó a cientos de Judios a los EE.UU. eran coercitivamente negó bajo el pretexto de las cuotas de inmigración, la mayoría de ellos fueron asesinados en campos de concentración de Hitler. Pero lo que si estos inmigrantes violaron la ley EE.UU. y entró ilegalmente a nuestro país. Que las que seguimos llamando "delincuentes"? Espero que no!
