A screaming baby girl has been forcibly weaned from breast milk and taken, dehydrated, to an emergency room, so that the nation’s borders will be secure. Her mother and more than 300 other workers in a leather-goods factory in New Bedford, Mass., have been terrorized — subdued by guns and dogs, their children stranded at school — so that the country will notice that the Bush administration is serious about enforcing immigration laws. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of poor Americans, lacking the right citizenship papers, have been denied a doctor’s care so that not a penny of Medicaid will go to a sick illegal immigrant.I'm liking Ted Kennedy a little more right about now... He sure is taking this issue seriously.
I don't know what the answer is. We live among illegal Mexican immigrants. Yes, it makes life more complicated. But if we're following Bush's logic (you know, to invade other countries to improve living) shouldn't we be finding a way to HELP and not terrorize? I don't know, call me crazy....
