What have you done today to make you feel proud?

These days I have been feeling pissed off at my president here(Mr.George W. Bush).I've read that he wants to get rid of illegal Brazilian immigrants...First of all,I guess there's something to do with Mr.Vicente Fox(Mexico's president)as I've read,there has been a big fight among Mexican and Brazilians towards jobs.And if Brazilians get these jobs,there will be ''fewer''Mexicans all around the USA.I also know that here in the Rio Grand Valley where the Border Patrol catches a bunch of Brazilians has been doing that often.No wonder the Brazilian Embassy in Houston has noticed the same.Even in Brazil,I recenttly called a former co-worker and he's told me that it 's an inferno to get this Visa to get here.Businessmen who own like five restaurants did not get the Visa to get here in the U.S.I know that few people appreciate what Bush has been doing and I disagree with what he said about Brazilians here saying he wants everyone back to Brazil.Whenever you start living here your zip code,your social security number,your bank account,everything is part of your new life..I know for sure if Brazilians are caught not only the trauma but also the dream of a better life will be gone.
So,do not judge if you have a wetback friend around.He's got his reasons to live abroad as much as you have yours to live abroad as well.

PS = Tapioca com Shiner, great name. When it comes to local beer, I have to admit I don't care much for Lone Star.
