A National Day Without an Immigrant
Do what you can.
I saw a really good documentary last night, Crossing Arizona. It was amazingly, to its credit, unbiased, though I have to say the lines of good and evil were nevertheless clearly drawn for me. I guess because I don’t own a television so don’t get to see and hear these folks on a regular basis. I was fascinated to listen to anti-immigrationists speaking about their beliefs about borders, citizenship, and what they’re “protecting” as their duty. It’s truly fascinating how minds can work—on the surface they seem rational enough, but the views they espouse make my head spin. I can’t understand these people. The most telling scene was showing an assembly of anti-immigrationists at an Arizona hotel and then interviewing the immigrant who was cleaning up after them talking about what they do. And the ones who go into the desert and cut open the water jugs? That’s premeditated murder. How else could you view it? The man above, Mike Wilson: total hero.
