Freedom of speech and Facebook

Seriously hilarious...Isn't America the land of the free. The Freedom of FREE SPEECH without repurcussions, yet when I express my views about illegal immigration in this country on MY Facebook page friends of mine of Hispanic descent take offense and delete me. I think really? SERIOUSLY?

I was raised and have accepted that not everyone is going to have the same views as me, that's what makes this country so vitally amazing! But I don't agree with someone bashing me or getting offended because my views aren't the same as theirs. If everyone thought the same we would be living in a cult! It humours me, while shocking me every time it happens.

Today I posted the following:
If you cross the N. Korean border illegally, you get 12 yrs. hard labor. If you cross the Afghanistan border illegally, you get shot. If you cross the U.S. border illegally you get a job, a driver's license, food stamps, a place to live, health care, housing & child benefits, education, & tax free business for 7 yrs..... AND they want US to speak THEIR language!!!! No wonder we are a country in debt.

Its a true statement with a bit of humor in it...but regardless its true. Having been married to a MEXICAN from deep in the depths of Mexico I have experienced personally immigration situations both in Mexico and the US. My ex husband was an illegal when I married him and we went through 5 years of torture, let down, abiding by the law to get him legal in this country. While living in Mexico myself I was imprisoned for 2 days while the local policia checked on my immigration paperwork, under the impression that it was illegal. Mexico doesn't let you work, live or visit past the borders illegally. Why does the US allow it?

*shaking head* It humors and pains me that US citizens & immigrants in this gracious country are so quick to jump on those whose views are different than their own, with out realizing that the constitution and the freedom of speech is a vital part of what makes this country for grand!
