Beginning of a story I just started to write. I would love peoples honest oppinions so I can fix it?

Tell me anything that is wrong and tell me how to fix it. Please and Thank You.

I walked down the narrow hall of my old house looking for something to do. The windows are clean, I just vacuumed, and there is no dust. Frustrated I turned around and walked back to the sparkling living room I already cleaned. While looking around I sat on the fluffy tan couch. The large TV dusted, the would floor mopped, the sliding glass doors spotless. I stood up and walked to the kitchen on the right. Nothing to clean here either.

I have already cleaned every inch of the small two story house. I should go out for a change I thought. Kris’s bar is usually empty on Mondays. I could go see what Krista is doing. Yeah, I haven’t seen her for a while. I walked down the hall to my bedroom, went around my king size bed to the large walk in closet. I rummaged around for a while and decided on the usual tank top and jeans.

I threw on the purple sleeveless shirt and blue jeans, ran a brush through my long dark blond hair. I didn’t want it to look like I was trying to impress anyone, just wanted a change of scenery. I ran down the steep stairs, grabbed my keys, and checked my appearance in the tall mirror. My green eyes had dark circles around them which made them look exotic. My full lips were bright red and my cheeks were a light shade of pink which set off my pale face wonderfully. Wow I look good. Smiling I turned and went out the front door.

My car was parked in the gravel drive on the right side of the white house I inherited from my parents when they passed away 4 years ago after the horrible accident.

I usually have a horrible time when I go out but tonight will different. I will ignore all of the assholes while having a drink or two. Then I will drive back home take a shower, crawl into my bed and drift off to a dreamless sleep. Well that is my plan.

I started my car, turned up the radio, and drove down my long drive to the main road. There were few cars, all driving the opposite direction I was going. I pulled onto the street and drove 5 scenic blocks to the bar.

I pulled into the Kris’s Bar and found a place close to the front to park. I neatly got out of the car and looked around. There were a few cars outside the rustic bar. Good not too may people. I slowly walked up to the front door and took a deep breath. Well here I go. I swung open the heavy door and walked inside looking around, it was like walking into an old western movie. 5 out of the 15 ancient tables were filled, and sitting at the short bar was a dark man looking down at his drink. I wove my to the other end of the bar and sat down thinking about what I wanted to drink.

Krista the owner of the bar smiled and waved signaling she would be with me in a minute. I grabbed my purse rummaged around and found a ten dollar bill. Krista was there when I looked up.

“What can I get you?” Krista asked with a smile.

“Um, a Screwdriver?”

“Sure just a sec.” She turned around and started mixing my drink with a little hop to her step. Looking over her sholder she asked. “Alice, what have you been up to? I haven’t seen you for a while.”

“Oh!” Surprised she was talking to me. “I haven’t been up to much lately. Just got tired of sitting around the house.”

“That sucks, well you have a date?” She observed. Acting like our argument the other day didn’t happen.

“Nope sorry,” I paused then added, “What have you been up to?”

“Just work. Oh hey, did you hear about Jake Lessly?” Her eyebrows rose and the corners of her lips twitched.

“Nope.”

“He got into a big fight with his girlfriend, he ended up in the hospital.” Krista replied eager to tell me the new town gossip.

“What? How did that happen?” More surprised then I thought I would be.

“I hear that Bell walked in on him with another woman. And instead of getting pissed at the chick, she beat the **** out of him,” She laughed. “He has a broken arm, two broken ribs, and his collar bone is fractured.”

Tell me what you think of Illegal immigration?

Hispanophobia, Xenophobia, The Black Legend, and Racism have all contributed to the many reasons Hispanics (Either legal or illegal) have been portray negatively in this society. Many American Citizens have not done research on the way Immigration affects our society, but we as good consumers of Media (television, radio, newspapers) have fallen short because we believe anything and everything the American Media portrays in the news, talk shows, and other mediums of popular communications. I dare anyone here to conduct un bias research on this matter, with out falling trap to racism,ethnocentrismm, xenophobia, and un-scholarly material. Anyone that can provided links to charts and statistics to argue their positions are encourage to respond anyone else that lacks professionalism please don’t respond.

In my view due to my research, Illegal immigration positive impact on American society out weights the negative impacts. We also need to understand human behavior around the globe.

Please read the following:

First of all immigration is not only a American phenomenon, but a world phenomenon. Is happening in all the world and to almost any country that can offer a better chance of living and resources. Have you ever heard of Survival of the Fittest, well, that’s exactly what’s going on in the world today. It is natural for a person or individuals to search for the resources their nations lack. Mexicans migrate because they have same necessities as any other human been, but even Mexico has an immigration and migration problem. Rural people in Mexico also have migrated to more developed areas in Mexico, like Mexico City, Monterrey, Cancun, Acapulco, and near the US border. Other Mexicans compliant that migrants workers from rural areas take city people jobs.

In Europe, countries with growing immigration population are England, Spain, France, Italy and other Western Europeans. The majority of immigrants are from Eastern European nations and they are view as bringing down the standards of the west, hey, and they are white and European too! But also Europe gets a lot immigrants from Saharan Africa, Middle, East, and Asia. Other immigrants included people from within the European Union who immigrate freely between nations in the EU.

In Asian nations, Immigration is also a major issue. In Japan there many Hindus, Arabs and Southeast Asians and even Brazilians. China has also brought in many immigrants from all over the world.

In Latin America, Dominicans migrated to Puerto Rico and the US. People are immigrating from less developed Latin American nations to more develop one where there an opportunity for money and food.

Immigration and migration is as old as Human creation. People have always been migrating in search of resources. From Ancient times, to the Age of Discovery to Now. Societies, Ethic groups, bands, tribes have old either conquered others or live together and share resources.

Human Immigration as a basic law of nature. “If you lack resources for survival, immigrate and search for those resources that you lack” This is part of the Natural Laws of Humanity. Either eat or perish.

People say, “They have broken the Law, so they are law breakers and shouldn’t even be here.”

So what is greater, the law writen by man’s hands or the Natural Law which is part of all humanity?

Thomas Hobbes, a great English Political Philosopher,

said this; “The things that make a good judge or good interpreter of the laws are, first, a right understanding of that principal law of nature called equity (Justice) ; which, depending not on the reading of other men’s writings, but on the goodness of a man’s own natural reason and meditation,” (The Leviathan CHAPTER XXVI
OF CIVIL LAWS)

Immigrants legal or illegal has the right to be examine as an individual, not base on the fact that he or she broke a law, that prohibit a human the necessities for human survival and dignity to live as other Humans who have what they don’t got.

Justice should be done base on character and desire for a Human to be here, that he or she when as far to brake one law to be where we are and live or try to live like the more fortunate ones.

REMEMBER AS OTHERS HAVE IMMIGRATED, ALSO EVERYONE’S ANCESTOR DID ALSO. WE ARE ALL THE SAME.

We Say: “Let’s stop world hunger and help the poor”

But when poor folk comes to your nation and your home, you rather give him or her a snake or shoot the poor ******* in the head”

We are a bunch of hippocrates!

Please use resoaning when responding.
They take American jobs, yeas, that’s true, because Americans don’t go out and search for jobs and fill applications. It’s Survival of the Fittest, get up, and hustle and stop applying for jobs on-line and go out like immigrants do to search for any job. We Americans are just too picky when it comes to jobs and even we are poor we want more than the other person.
Everyone has done an illegal invasion of lands. Europeans killed as many Indians to take their lands. The Indian Removal Act, The Battle of Little Big Horn, and the other many battles against indegenous populations who didn’t want White men in their lands. African-Americans have forgoten also of the Fugitive Slave Act, that treated them as illegal immigrants in the North. They were captured and deported back to the South, were the Slave master was ready with whip in hand.
Mexicans and other immigrants come here illegaly because there’s no other way to come here. The Legal system takes longer.

Laws are laws made by the people in power. Remember many years ago it was legal to own slaves. In Germany it was legal to kill the Jews and anyone else that was undesire in that society.

Laws don’t make anything great! People compassion, reasoaning, democracy, and real justice makes a nation great.
Anyone that takes this for Racist, is not in their right mind. Read what I have say and study it. Take a Historical, Anthropological, and resonable view on the subject.
