This speech almost made me cry
i honestly think some one should translite this speech un spanish so that other people can understand this
This valedictorian speech was in poor taste.
Sorry, there is a big difference between illegal immigrants and immigrants who came to this legally.
People are people either way
Right, valedictorian MUCH different!
I'm sorry, but how is this fair to all the Americans who've waiting their turn to legally come into the United States? This is distasteful and she should not be receiving the benefits she does, regardless of her educational abilities.
waiting their turn like a bunch of begging suck ups. You dont wait your turn you simply come and thats it. I rather live in third world country then have to blow a customs a official to let me in.
she earned them, thats why she receives those ''benefits''.
Fuck outta here with that bullshit
There have always been Mexican in the US even before there was a US. Not sure how people get the nerve to tell Mexicans to go home when they are home. The Southwest including Colorado have Spanish names and were parr of the Mexican government. Not sure how America successfully erased that part of history.
byulyuj it's a system that doesn't work.
This young woman states in her speech that it was ok when she pushed others out of her way to get to class on time. My response: Why is it so important for only her to get to class on time and not the other students whom she is pushing out of her way?
She talks about American citizens needing more love in their heart. Where is the love in her heart when she starts telling off the United States and some of its citizens at a high school graduation ceremony which is a celebration? This kind of talk is divisive.
My summary: Find an appropriate time and place to practice your activism. This young woman is a selfish hypocrite! Her graduation speech proves her to be as such. I hope she eventually realizes that she is a selfish hypocrite and learns not to be so self-absorbed.
the fact that ur even writing a hate comment towards a person who was around 18 at the time of speaking this, shows that you are one of those very citizens with little love in their hearts. obviously the pushing ppl out of her way was just a joke are you stupid
i honestly think some one should translite this speech un spanish so that other people can understand this
