My intention here was not to attack AMF, but rather to inform as to the nature of why I have a unique perspective in this particular kind of case, and how best to learn about the programs if he were truly interested.

There are many such programs, and I honestly didn't see the need to list them in response to what appeared to be nothing more than a personal challenge of my opinions and statements. Listing the programs here, simply to prove to an individual they exist, seemed pointless to me. If he was that dedicated to finding out what they were it's an easy thing to do so. It just didn't seeme to me that was the case, and even less so as there are no plans to do anything with it.

In doing what I do I run across many people who'll challenge that illegal immigrants have such opportunities, without taking the time themselves to actually find out if this is true or not personally. Many of these people want websites, or literature, or other such proof - not to learn from it but rather to challenge it's existance. These same defenders/challengers rarely volunteer their own time and efforts though.

I'll readily admit I tend to get frustrated by many liberal points of view saying that these people are not being treated fairly or given the same opportunities and the rest of us.

And I'll tell you this - they're right.

More opportunity is given than to the average citizen. And unfortunately, more advantaged is taken also.


I'm not angry at anyone, not by a longshot, and I was not implying anyone's opinion was less valid, only possibly less informed or sincere. And the only character aspersions I care to cast are the same ones I'd cast on everyone everywhere - If you're unhappy with society or feel people aren't getting treated the way they should, DO more about it and GRIPE or CHALLENGE less. Talk is easy, cheap, and in the end meaningless. I've said this to everyone of my friends, family, coworkers, and aquaintences. I'm no activist, I'm just involved where I can be to make a difference or help.
