Los Angeles, CA, September 2007…Simon Burrow, the founder of Radical Immigration, has been honored by the Mexican Consulate for his work on behalf of the Mexican community in the area of immigration reform. Ruben Beltran, the Consul General, presented Burrow with a plaque in front of 150 members of the Consulate staff on September 2.

The California legislature reported that treating “Illegal Aliens” without insurance in emergency rooms costs the state seven hundren million dollars per year.  And they imply that this is the reason for the crisis in the states emergency rooms.  How about a little perspective here.  

"America could not survive without immigration," he says. "Even the undocumented immigrants are contributing to our economy. That's the country my parents came to. That's the image we have to portray to the rest of the world: kind, generous, a nation of nations, touched by every nation, and we touch every nation in return. That's what people still want to believe about us. They still want to come here. We've lost a bit of the image, but we haven't lost the reality yet. And we can fix the image by reflecting a welcoming attitude -- and by not taking counsel of our fears and scaring ourselves to death that everybody coming in is going to blow up something. It ain't the case."

Illegal is not always wrong .  There are bad laws. Think about segregation.
