Back to the same theme

Just in my last post I have talked about immigration law issues. Then I have checked discussion board for my class and found this link to the New York Time's pictures Friendships at the border. I was "touched" by this

. . . a Democrat who represents the area, has urged the Department of Homeland Sceurity not to build in the park. "It's harmful to the kind of family culture we have at the border," he said. "It is one place, certainly, in San Diego, where we talk about friendship at the border."


"[H]armful to the kind of family culture"?? but what culture? Apparently he meant the culture of the country-neighbor, Mexico. I understand that the US at this time has more Mexican aliens than of any other national origins. But, why for this reason, we should be more pitiful to them than to other aliens. Why do not Americans worry as much about those who came, for example, from Europe? They also have families, some of them also cry when they leave their relatives. I do not like this "discrimination." If you want to take care of aliens from neighboring countries, then do not make others "equal but separate." If Democrat representative worries about "harmful" fenses between families, then he should pay for big cruise ships and allow other aliens at least once a year see their relatives like those on the pictures do through the fense.

P.S. yes, I am too harsh today, but those pictures of crying aliens near fence annoy me.
