Where I have often in the past gotten push backs when I write on Immigration it has been a while since I have done so. The often quote I got “they are breaking the law” was just one of the many comments some gave me in the past when I wrote on behalf of immigrants. Deportations of those who seek a better life for survival from Mexico has been my pet peeve on this website. Hillary Clinton has always been on my radar as being the secretary of deport for so long.
Now I am faced with deciding whether I want to vote for her. Being the front running candidate for President Hillary Clinton who is a pro-deportation warrior and has repeatedly said that unaccompanied children refugees from Mexico must be sent back home puts me in a lose face situation if I do.
And now Salon gives me this:
Hillary Clinton’s campaign published an article yesterday titled “7 Ways Hillary Clinton Is Just Like Your Abuela,” using the Spanish word for “grandmother.”
Click on “7 Ways Hillary” to understand how stupid she thinks Hispanics are.
Twitter exploded in outrage, criticizing what users called Clinton’s “Hispandering” and what they see as her hypocrisy vis-à-vis political policies. And I agree 100% with all the tweets that I have found based on Hillary`s hypocrisy and what those who have had family members deported are saying to Hillary.
And to me.
Hilary is #NotMiAbuela #NotMyAbuela because I was separated by mine by many miles, and a militarized border
"She worries about children everywhere" #NotMyAbuela does not support war/dronings which disproportionatly kill children @HillaryClinton
Neoliberal War Hawk
Wallstreet Private Prison Puppet
Mass Incarceration
Mass Immigrant Detentions and Deportations #NotMyAbuela
Hillary tries outreach to latinos but doesn't think they remember Bill's NAFTA that made latinos economic refugees. #NotMyAbuela
These tweets are just a few of the issues that I have often wrote about. Not wanting to join in the favortisms of political ongoing games waging Hillary against Sanders I now am at a crossing point of where to go in the general elections 2016.
If she is the nominee for the general to run for President, I will be hard pressed to make a decision whether to vote at all. And don`t tell me that is why I should go with Bernie because you will not lure me into your hard core political games.
This development is about me only. It is about whether I should betray the same immigrants that I have always vowed to protect by advocating their cause. If I do vote for Hillary I will be just that, a sold out.
If you have ever read my pro-immigrant diaries, in my shoes — what would you do?
