I support concrete and progressive immigration reform based on three primary criteria: family reunification, economic contributions, and humanitarian concerns.

So now we are pushing economic reform, bank reform and enterprise reform. So we can finish that reform this year, in September or October. Then our economy may be much more, you know, normalized.

Listening Is Best
Anything under the sun
has something to talk about
especially when it affects life
big or small doesn't matter at all
it is the significance that count most
Family is primary issue
maybe most do not care
at the end family is there
to comfort and support you
after all what others have done
Lend an ear to your family circle
and each shall do the same to you
listenind is best way to win an argument
as it shall open all the avenues of resolution
at the end problems can be settled peacefully

Validity
i will accept the validity
of your religious view when...
you lay down your guns,
and start feeding the hungry!
i will accept the validity
of your political view when...
by your actions you show your primary
concerns to be poverty and homelessness.
i will accept the validity
of your freedom when...
it applies equally to all,
regardless of skin color.
i will accept the validity
of your humanitarian view when...
you take all men as brothers,
and walk with compassion.

While I support immigration regulated through a legal framework, I do not support rewarding those who broke the law to get here.
I had no concerns - I had no reason to have concerns based on what was available to me about North's contacts with the private sector people, but I didn't think a CIA person should do it.

There's never a good year for immigration reform - that's why it's dragged on ineffectually for decades.

Inspirations
Life...
instills in me inspiration
like breath in the air
tact to venture free.
Family...
Loved ones who are there
when I need encouragement
whom I can rely for support.
Wife...
A partner who shares
everything with intimacy
In health and in sickness.
Children...
Reason why I do my best
to support them their needs
for they are me in the future.
Jesus...
My primary spiritual inspiration
Who guides my soul and gives wisdom
to overcome all life's adversities and trials.
All these are my inspirations
they make my life complete
and meaningful.

Emancipation came to the colored race in America as a war measure. It was an act of military necessity. Manifestly it would have come without war, in the slower process of humanitarian reform and social enlightenment.

To Who It Concerns
to who it concerns
My homework will be late
It fell onto my pancakes
and stuck to my plate
To who it Concerns
My mom made me write this
and I'm just a kid
so how can i fight this
To who it concerns
I lost my assignment
maybe I'll get lucky
solitary confinement
To who it concerns
I just turned 15
too short to be shortstop
too plain to be queen
to who it concerns
I'm great with a ball
but boys don't watch tomboys
as they're cruising the hall
to who it concerns
I'm not made of steel
when I get blind sighted
my pain is quite real
i don't mean to squawk
but it really burns
so I thought i'd just mention it
to who it concerns
