Somehow I missed that this website is a supporter of #SB1070 which has hurt countless families as well as the U.S. economy and is the most racist and xenophobic law against immigrants I have seen in my lifetime, other than Alabama’s. That law promotes racial profiling and is anti-American. This site did give me ideas about hashtags to look for, but the information is from a site that is coming from an uneducated and misguided place and I am sorry to have left a comment at all. -Liza Wolff-Francis

Thank you for your post. I have a suggestion for this website. Please change the words “illegal aliens to undocumented immigrants or make note of those words being words of the oppressor. When people are called illegal, it dehumanizes them. When they are called aliens, they are made the other. No one is illegal.
By using this language, we continue to perpetuate the idea that immigrants are less deserving of fair decent treatment and that they are criminals. This language is all over the media and infiltrates even the most well meaning powerful conversations, but it has to change in order to truly fight for immigrants’ rights.
Thanks again. See you on Twitter, Liza Wolff-Francis, @matrifocalpoint
