So if they're doing all that and then why don't they fill out the immigration papers like my parents did, my aunt, my uncle and wait the 10 to 15 years that's what it takes. My two sisters filed for their immigration papers when they turn 18. So if the songs intent that we should owe them a debt of gratitude give me a break. File for immigration, do your job, pay your taxes, obey the law of the country that you're in. That's what they told my father when he came to this country and then later he also helps others coming here in the same way.

I am so glad that someone captured this moment. I was there but only got still pictures. The sound is very good. I love Tom Russell and his very clever lyrics.

Most of our fellow citizens are beyond ignorant-they are apathetic. They don't care! They have their security,3 meals a day & a false belief that "we are the greatest"! Their fate will be like the Romans. It is law of nature, "arrogance eventually hangs its head in shame". Unfortunately, few of us who care will suffer along with them. This country was built on original sin of genocide, slavery & racism. These are parts & parcel of its identity. White man is causing destruction everywhere.

Ps. That comment was directed at Bonsaisuperstar and Emuchickntx. Mister Russell makes some excellent points. Why not try singing it to your lawn-mowing husband when he gets back from the rally?

Grow up WASP-child. Your people stole that land. The Mexicans are poor because you make them poor. Yours is a country for white people. Do everything the right way? You have no right to say that while the rest of the world marvels at your limited aggregate intellect, your beautiful country riddled with racism and poverty, and your neo-Facist unelected government. Grow up.

This is stupid!!!!!!!!!!!! I will cook my Mexican food and my husband will mow our grass. We are not rich. And neither are 90% of the rest of the citizens in the U.S. Take a walk through the real world. We are tired of freeloaders.

this i agree with, though i'm truly not sure what the republican neo-conservative agenda is but i don't like it. I'm waiting for the good republicans to come back, the constitutionalists and the fiscal conservatives who are against big government and will tell you what they think. Where's Truman when you need him?

I don't know about "blame" but the people who send our jobs to different countries or fire americans to hire illegals should be villified way ahead of some poor people who'll take anywork to survive.

I agree completely that we shouldn't be sending our jobs to mexico. that's why i hated bill clinton and NAFTA (i'm a registerd republican) it only allows big businesses to fire americans and move the jobs to mexico where they can treat people like shit. It's the poor man and woman on both sides of the wall that are losing out. Thanks for servining in the corps. i have friends in fighting in fallujah.

I'm not supporting illegal immigration i'm against no-bid contracts being handed out to build a 700 mile wall across a 3000 mile border. it seems stupid because it is stupid. how the hell is a wall less than 1/3 the length of the border going to stop people?
