There are legitimate arguments on both sides of the immigration debate, but most reasonable people on both sides acknowledge that most immigrants are hard-working, decent people who (understandably) came to the US for a chance at a better life.
Not the National Organization for Women.
In a recent statement I would've more expected from the Ku Klux Klan than from NOW, NOW president Kim Gandy (pictured) describes immigrant men as men who "hit their [wives] frequently," threaten to put their wives and children on the street if they "ask them to buy groceries or clothes for the kids" and make their wives "live in perpetual fear."
According to Gandy, these immigrant women had better not get pregnant and/or lose their jobs, because their immigrant husbands will "beat" them for it.
Gandy's comments are a despicable slap at the millions of immigrant men and fathers who work long hours at demanding jobs to provide for their wives and children. Exactly as both of my grandfathers did.
Gandy's bigoted commentary can be found at: www.now.org/news/note/053007.html. This is feminism?
Very un PC! It would have been better if the top nag had shut up.
Yes, most were Mexican, however, we were getting an increasing number of Central Americans but their Culture is very similiar to Mexico’s. Strangely enough, many of the Central Americans hated Mexico for all of the hassles and shakedowns they were getting while traveling back and forth between the U.S. and home through Mexico.
There is that pesky little tip book that mexico published tell the illegals what not to do in public. I think one of them was not to hit your wife/girl friend. Now isn't that true?
Yeah, you are.
This is a rather racist statement, unless, of course, one is referring to our Latino brothers. What bothers me the most is how so many of them believe that it enhances their machismo to beat their wives.
Just say NO to Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!
