HR 3012 is a great first step in immigration reform

   I am writing to you today as a member of Immigration Voice (http://www.Immig rationVoice.org). Founded in December 2005, Immigration Voice is a rapidly growing, national grassroots non-profit organization of over 70,000 legal, highly-skilled immigrants. Immigration Voice members are committed to sensible improvements to the employment-based immigration and green card process by supporting H.R 3012 – Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act.

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong> These days, using the word “nigger” is considered so offensive that, in its place, we now use the term “n-word.” Of course, never mind that African-Americans use it amongst themselves as a term of endearment, <em>pero esa es una historia para otro día. Sin embargo</em>, it raises a <em>pregunta</em> for me: <em>Por qué</em> no one uses “b-word” for “beaner,” “w-word” for “wetback,” and “s-word” for “spick”?</strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Last weekend Aztec running back Ronnie Hillman had another career night at the “Q”. The sensational sophomore confounded the Wyoming Cowboys (5-2, 2-0) for a combined 309 yards and three touchdowns. It wasn’t enough however, as the Aztecs fell to the Cowboys 30-27 in what was thus far the most frustrating loss of the season. The loss dropped SDSU’s record to (4-3, 1-2) and seriously impaired their chances of gaining a second consecutive postseason bowl bid. Favored by two touchdowns, the loss should have never happened.</p>
