RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 04/16/18> One last thing before we move on…. AGUA.

in #blog6 years ago

Years ago, I most likely felt as you did, the governments point of view (narrow-minded and selfish). I no longer think that way after spending almost two decades living in third world countries. If you want to know someone, walk a mile in his shoes (or sandals). Immigration to any country has become a nightmare of rules and regulations. There is no room for compassion. So folks do what they feel they have to do for their families. Is it wrong? To me, it is a very grey area...

Sort:  

I think if they can get across the border that we should have closed decades ago then the problem is with us, and we should let them stay if they are not a fugitive or a convict. We have enough of those already and are raising more everyday. Chances are that isn't going to happen, so maybe the churches can start a program to help them file for asylum or something along those lines.
I really don't know what the answer is, but the desperation is really apparent given what they do to try and get here.
