Passion to thrive



A kid in an immigration rally speaks about the problem of his school. The school is firing teachers because of budget cuts during this recession. The passion of this kid for good education can proove all those citizens wrong who thinks that illegal workers and their kids are burden on the system.

In the morning, I was listening Kane's show on Hot 99.5(a talk show, where people ask him to call their loved ones for spying) and he was telling about how he helped a mother to track down her daughter's wild spring break, full of booze and boys. Kane recieved hate mails from listeners and fans for this spying act since, according to the listeners, it will spoil the relation between mother and daughter. These people have no problem when Kane do this in marital relationship. Similarly there are citizens who complained about the food stamps of $176 per month and donot stop on processed foods.

I am tired of listening people that immigrants will reduce the standards of American competitiveness. My question is who is here more competitive- a kid willing to go to school and stand against all the hurdles on his way, or a spoil brat for whom her color, language and country of birth may most likely reserve success, if defined only in terms of money. For whom this infrastructure should be used in ideal world- for a kid of an immigrant mother who wants to study or always complaining and going 'hi' citizen.
