Chinese Illegal immigrant Ju Hung interrupted Obama's speech and basically demanded Obama to make a changes so that he's family can be together. Ii think that one no matter your objective that it's rude to heckler anyone. I can honestly say no matter the president current or past that is still living I would love to in in the audience of any of their speeches. to this day I would love to take pictures and shake hands with the Any of the Bush's or Obama. I understand that this guy in particular was not trying to be disrespectful but he was. In the comments I noticed a lot of people felt like as an ILLEGAL and I REPEAT ILLEGAL immigrant that he has no room to demand anything and that his family should come over here the "right" way. So how do you feel on the subject of ILLEGAL immigrants coming over then making demands or holding rallies for change.

I think that as an undocumented resident of the United States, this issue affects him in a direct way that not many of us can relate to or understand. The urgency and anxiety surrounding the issue for their family is something we all need to be sensitive to. We're all human beings, after all.
ReplyDeleteMaybe his family was fleeing political persecution by the Chinese government. Maybe his family was fleeing religious persecution as Christians by the Chinese government. We cannot harden our hearts to the very real and honest plight of so many people around the world. Remember, it was only by total chance that I was born in the United States. I could have very easily been born in North Korea or Cuba, and I can tell you that I would risk my own life to flee from that sort of persecution and find refuge in a place like the United States.
We hold ourselves up as the leader of the free world, and a symbol of freedom for the entire world. We simply can't say to people fleeing from dire situations in Central/South America, the Pacific, Africa, Europe, etc. that, "You're not welcomed here, no matter what sort of situation you were enduring in your home country." That's not what America is about, in my opinion. We were built upon the idea of, "Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free." We need to live up to that legacy.
