Awhile back I took a lot of flack for an article I wrote regarding last year's U.S. immigrant strike. In the article, I stated that the strike was, in fact, a terrorist attack on our economy. Try as they might, no one could convince me that the economical standstill did not reek terrorism. Since that time, I have become extremely interested in public opinion on matters regarding illegal immigrants. The most recent "uprising" involved a contest held by Toys "R" Us. The well-known Toys "R" Us catalog was something I thought could never be tainted, a real symbol of my childhood. Now I want nothing to do with Geoffrey the Giraffe, or any other part of the company. Recently, they had a "First Baby of the Year Sweepstakes," in which the first 3 babies born on New Year's Day received a $25,000 savings bond. The contest rules clearly stated that for any baby to be eligible, their mother had to be a U.S. Citizen. One of the names drawn was that of Yuki Lin, the beautiful new daughter of Yan Zhu Liu. Coincidentally enough, the mother was not a U.S. Citizen. I plan on boycotting the company from here on out, and if you think this was wrong, encourage you to do the same..
Typically, in any contest, eligibility rules must be followed. Initially, Toys "R" Us did follow their own rules, refusing to award Ms. Liu, due to her lack of citizenship. In doing so, they not only remained committed to their policy, but their decision also supported U.S. Law. Then came the protesters: many Chinese-Americans, the Asian American Business Development Center, and even the New York Times, among others. They claimed that Toys "R" Us' actions were an injustice, even going so far as to claim that the issue had to do with "second-class" citizenship issues! What? How about "no-class" citizenship issues, as in the mother isn't a citizen. She should be deported. Instead, people would have you believe that she is a "victim."
