Social came in the mail today :) now all I have to do is wait until my birthday so I can go to the DMV to get my license which is in about a month and a half.  I’m not sure if I’ll go back to the restaurant I was working at now that I have a real social due to the fact that I want to focus on my school work but on the other hand I really want to be making some type of money to save and hopefully get a car in the near future.

it’s funny how when a white person decides to learn a foreign language and move to another country, he’s lauded for his sense of adventure, multiculturalism, appreciation of diversity and god knows what else

but when a person o,f colour does the same thing it’s all “fucking immigrants stop stealing our jobs go back to ur own country!111!!!”

THIS

YES

Yesterday

I went to the Social Security office to finally apply for my social and it was super simple.  When we got there I didn’t expected it to be so full, I waited about 30 minutes until I was called to the window and then I showed the lady my papers and it took her about 5 minutes to put me in the system and finish.  It was weird leaving tho, I don’t know why but right when I sat back in the car I felt less Colombian.  I guess the fact that I have been undocumented all this time there’s always been this Colombian feel in me and now that I have some sort of United States paper work I feel more American.  I wasn’t expecting to feel something like that but it just randomly happened as we left. I don’t ever want to lose my Colombian roots which is why I want to visit so BAD.  All I want are the rights I know I deserve.

Any one else feel something like this?

sinidentidades:

Illegal being turned into a noun is by far the most ruthlessly effective way to dehumanize and demonize an entire group of people, which is why it is propagated by mass media and politicians to vilify these people as outsiders and aggressors of the state to justify the systematic abuse and exploitation these people are faced with on a daily basis.

Native genocide continues in certain parts of the southern hemisphere, where mining companies and government personal have been known to gun down communities.

While people are out here praising Obama and the Gang of Eight on their shitty CIR, people are still out here getting deported for driving without a license! 

It’s estimated Obama will have deported over 2 million by 2014. Not fucking tell me he’s the lesser of two evils and how amazing he is for the immigrant community. Re-evaluate your priorities and efforts.
