National Day for Dignity and Respect pushes for immigration reform through portraits in New Haven NEW HAVEN >> When his daughter was just eight months old, Alejandro Gonzalez made the decision to leave Mexico.

Gonzalez, who now lives in Connecticut, said he has not been able to go back since.

That was in February 2002.

“When I talk to her on the computer or the phone, it is like a piece of my heart is gone,” Gonzalez said.

Recently, Gonzalez said he has lost two cousins to cancer and lost a grandfather, but was unable to say goodbye to any of them.

“This is the struggle that many people face,” Gonzalez said. “We cannot travel; we cannot go home to our family when we need to.”

Gonzalez was one of many immigrants and activists cheering for immigration reform at the Connecticut celebration of the National Day for Dignity and Respect, organized by Service Employees International Union, at Junta for Progressive Action in New Haven Saturday.

Ana Marie Rivera, legal/policy analyst for Junta and coordinator for Connecticut Immigrant Rights Alliance (part of the 32BJ group of SEIU), said Saturday’s celebration was one of more than 150 such celebrations nationwide. Immigration activists and immigrants came from across the state to gather in New Haven to rally and listen to testimonies of people whose loved ones are fighting deportation

Gonzalez ,rips his family apart by taking off,by entering America illegally is here for years and then wants to complain it's America's fault that he has the personal problems he has.How about they share some stories about the illegal aliens who have ripped apart American families,sex crimes, drunk driving,etc,etc. It's weird in mexico you never see any mexicans protesting, when mexico deports illegals from their country.Check out his sign..

Those who have no respect for our borders or laws get no respect from me. Go away. Take your “dignity” with you.

Foreigners need to respect the American people and get the h-— out of here. That is about as much dignity as I could muster up on this subject.

That “respect”,it would appear,doesn't apply to the laws of a sovereign...and great...nation,the United States of America.

Should have stayed home with his family when he left.

Nobody invited him up here illegally. He can go home any time he likes and then sneak back in the way he snuck in years ago.

Obama will not try to stop him.

Why hasn’t he had the kid shipped home. What a piss poor father he is leaving his kid in a foreign country while he boozes and whores in his home in Mexico.

Somehow this group of dirt bags got hold of my e-mail. I doubt they will send me any more of their trash. May I suggest their ears are likely still ringing!

How about stop raping babies and old women to death for a start. You know respect!

Since you don’t respect our country and its laws what should we do with you?

Gonezalez, I don’t think that anyone will stop you from LEAVING the Country that you ILLEGALLY entered.

I guess he chose poorly.

We have a bogus shutdown and government is shutting down the beaches in Florida and now Lake Mead. We are suppose to support an immigration reform act(amnesty) and let the ‘’ones living in the shadows’’ come and become citizens so they can vote for this crappy party( pick one, they both suck). This is getting to a point of defining who we are as citizens of the United States.

Let us start this conversation about dignity and respect by recognizing the proper priority of the relationship between the country and those who are here without legal permission, in violation of the law. Unless these people are not willing to show this country “dignity and respect”, I don’t feel any obligation to show them any either, except to respect their basic human rights as we expel them from the country.

Just heard they’re going to discharge me this afternoon
and transfer me to a short-term rehab center.
Hoping to get physical therapy there so I can transfer
in and out of bed by myself, then I can go home.

Woo hoo!!

STFU you border hopping POS. You're an INVADER, the only thing you should get from this country is a one way ticket home.

I wish they would put a $50 bounty on you ILLEGAL ALIENS. I'd quit my job and make this country a better place to live.

It is not only the illegal aliens, read this article about what many of the current crop of legal immigrants are like and what the Democrat controlled immigration service is doing behind the scenes.

Those who break American law and piss on its resources demand dignity and respect?
