Illegal Immigration, Voting , Naturalization and other Taboo Thing for Me to talk About

If you ask me about the issue of illegal immigration I think Hispanics are scapegoats for the problem. Actually the face of illegal immigration should be Canadian because the are actually the highest percentage of illegals in the U. S. Glad I am not a betting woman because I thought it was the Middle Eastern decent (Don't get me started on them. Another Blog Another Day & not a nice one either). But today in Dallas I have to get on my soap box about the Hispanics, their rights, and, redistricting.

In Dallas, the district representation map had to be redrawn and voting on down there at City Hall by the Council. The Hispanics on the council wanted 5 districts but only got 3 with the coveted 2 districts going to African American council to represent. According to the census, those 2 districts are populated by mostly by Hispanics and with the naked eye that could very well be true.

But are the residents mostly occupying these areas legal citizens that are registered to vote. I highly doubt it. You can push me over with a feather if they are. So if the council based redistricting on legal citizens well an African American should represent those areas. And those who feel that is unfair should do two things. 1) Have those who are legal & naturalized citizens that are not registered to vote, REGISTERED TO VOTE.  How can one have the feeling to complain about laws or policies when they don't use their right of influence? How can one know what their voice sounds like if they don't ever use their voice? 2) Those who are living in the those areas illegal, have them become naturalized citizens. People are always protesting about letting illegals staying but whose helping them become legal & naturalized? Very Few. Instead of Marching to stay, March to the Immigration office and do it the right way. (And that's not just for the Mexicans that for anyone here illegally) I'm sorry but until then they don't have a right to be represented. One can't tell anyone how to run anything in a home one has not TRUE right to live. In my opinion that is how those who oppose the new district map of Dallas can Help their coveted constituents Help them gain more influence in Dallas.
