Immigration
I just read this article: J-Star on immigration along with its deadening comments and see no movement or solution in the immigration mire. I only have this to say:
Let us broadly examine what is occurring: People from other countries are coming here. Our government requires that every person be documented. A lot of these people aren’t. A lot of non-immigrant people want them to leave. Question: are these immigrants colonizing the U.S., seizing land, pillaging native structures and laying waste to the founded community? No. Another question: Given that pillage and seizure are what the forefathers of America did one and two and four hundred years ago – only to come up with a slogan about tired, wretched people - should we examine more closely our immigrant situation rather than conclude deportation is the immediate and only answer? Yes.
Please, if you find separatism and banishment worthy ideals, re-examine yourself and your community and realize how compassion and education are as much benefits as they are costs. Sure this is a floaty, expensive dream. I was taught wealth doesn’t always mean one’s pocketbook. Get it?
