Things are getting uglier by the day. Today at protests things turned violent.

I am living in the city where immigration protests are bad and I am less than a qtr mile from where 300 students shut down the traffic. My brother said people threw shit at his car and other soldiers Cars coming off Fort Bliss. The crowds were screaming Bush's storm troopers.

The worst problem is the people protesting are just looking for a reason to riot and skip school not because they understand the issue. Don't get me wrong people have the right to protest but nothing is worse than stupid people looking for a fight.

Their are reports that english speaking people are being viewed as enemies and have been surrounded and screamed at for speaking English. The police are fearful that things could get worse.

The protests have turned this into nationalistic rallies, favoring where I am at Mexico and denoucing American politics which I find ironic since most fled Mexico because of corruption and quality of life.

JS, is your situation short term or long term?

In other words, when are you getting the hell out of Texas?

Long term, but since I am as white as a ghost but if things get worse it may become short term. The Walgreens I walk to with my nephew had rocks thrown at people coming out of it who were white.
