What about the thousands, upon thousands of U.S.A. citizens, especially U.S.A. veterans, who are forced to live about the streets risking death in the country that they have every right to work in, yet are forced aside for those who demand more? Well how about Erika Andiola?
Erika Andiola, will you and your family members, as well as, those who have come to the U.S.A. without abiding by the laws and customs of the land you have invaded to take work away from U.S.A. citizens, be willing to be righteous, thus giving up work so U.S.A. citizens will once again have an opportunity for not only the American Dream, but life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
Well, how about it?
With too many instances, AnotW has come across racism being played out, but not from who you might think. AnotW found that many Hispanic/Latino controlled employers and/or businesses DO shun away from hiring U.S.A. citizens and/or European and African origin people. Interesting that U.S.A. citizens can't find work in their own country - U.S.A. - due to those demanding and demanding. So, why don't those demanding for themselves care about the inhabitants of the land they have invaded - the U.S.A. ?
WHY?
Being Spiritually and/or mentally CORRUPT is the problem here, so let us each do our part in becoming about it rather than just flowing air past our lips.
There has been quite enough empty words that have flowed throughout time.
Be about it!

DREAM Activist’s Family Arrested After Home Raided By ICE

DREAM Activist's Family Arrested After Home Raided By ICE
|
Erika Andiola, a young undocumented immigrant and activist, may be free from the threat of raids and deportation, but her family is another story.
On Thursday night, Andiola’s home in Arizona was raided by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents, who knocked on her door then arrested her mother, Maria Arreola, after she opened to check on her visitors. When her older brother refused to provide documentation of his own legal status, he was brought in as well.
“My mother came out of her room without really understanding what was happening, just that there was a really strong knock on the door,” Andiola, a co-founder of DRM Action Coalition and nationally prominent supporter of the DREAM Act, told reporters over the phone. “They went ahead and handcuffed her right in front of me and my younger brother, who is 16 years old.”
After reaching out to her friends in the activist community to help protest her family’s treatment, Andiola recorded a heartbreaking video on YouTube recounting the raid.
It’s possible that will change soon. The White House and its allies are preparing an all-out push to pass legislation providing a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants of all ages, a group that would likely include Arreola, but in the meantime their status is still a constant burden. Immigrant rights activists, who have long complained that the administration has not done enough to restrain ICE in recent years, say Andiola’s harrowing experience is only the latest example of the struggles immigrants face as a result. A record 410,000 people were deported in 2012, and a recent report by the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute found that ICE’s $18 billion in spending over that same period was more than all other federal law enforcement agencies combined.
“While we get legislative reform, the president can act now,” Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, told reporters in a conference call Friday. “He can lead and ensure that Maria Arreola and the tens of thousands of other immigrants who qualify for deferred action now can get it so they don’t have to fear the risk of deportation while they wait for immigration reform.”
Fortunately for Andiola, her mother and older brother are set to be released. But she’s still puzzling out why her mother was targeted in the first place. She told reporters that ICE informed her that Arreola had a prior order for removal stemming from 1998. Last month, her mother was stopped for speeding and fingerprinted by Arizona police when she couldn’t produce identification, allowing police — now empowered by state law to identify illegal immigrants — to refer her to ICE.
“Although one individual had been previously removed from the country, an initial review of these cases revealed that certain factors outlined in ICE’s prosecutorial discretion policy appear to be present and merit an exercise of discretion,” ICE spokeswoman Barbara Gonzalez told TPM Friday in a statement responding to questions about the Andiola case. “A fuller review of the cases is currently on-going. ICE exercises prosecutorial discretion on a case-by-case basis, considering the totality of the circumstances in an individual case.”
Below is Erika Andiola's YouTube plea.

My mother is the most precious thing
I have in my life. Maria Arreola, my loving mother, risked her life in
(YEAR SHE LEFT MEXICO) when she left my abusive father and migrated to
the U.S. seeking safety for her children and herself.
Last night, Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE), trespassed into to my home without a warrant and apprehended my mother. My brother, who was next door at a friends house, was also handcuffed and taken by ICE.
I can't believe I am living this nightmare. I need your help! I cannot begin to imagine what my life would be without my mother. Right now your voice is the only thing that can help keep my family together.
We have to end this now. Help us keep this family together.
Thank you,
Erika Andiola
