As I read of connecting to the western hemisphere it makes me think of what immigration is like today. Imagine being taken from your family, denied a phone call, and dropped off in the desert, miles from home all for the crime of wanting a better life. Is this really opportunity or just the new American network and the modern way commerce and people connect to the prosperous western hemisphere?
People argue that undocumented people are criminals because they are breaking our immigration laws are really shortsighted. We have really bad immigration laws. Just like the Jim Crow laws were bad, so are our current immigration laws. They are in dire need of reform. I don't think anyone would call Rosa Parks a criminal these days... As American citizens, we need to have the intellect to know when history repeats itself.
Are laws are really targeting a race or class of people. Let's look at another example, like the holacaust. It started with seperating parents from children, takling families from the only home they ever known and putting them where people thought they should be without any regard to what happens to them. American's need to wake up and stop this nightmare before it spreads across the entire country.
