Best Immigration Idea I Have Ever Heard

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.

But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag.

We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Bodies of Children Floating in the Rio Grande River

Who sends their young children, unaccompanied in most cases, to a distant land with no provisions for their safety, health, or hunger? Who does that? What authority allows the free passage, en masse through different countries, to face unknown circumstance? I love to travel but I have yet to find a country willing to let me in without my passport. They surely are not asking for billions of dollars to finance the processing, housing, legal, hunger, and emotional aid needed for those of us who would love to be able to travel without documentation. Yes, it turns my heart into a knot to know young children are found dead on the ground or floating in the Rio Grande River. How and why did this happen?

Insensitivity works

How can we expect to become sensible if we are shielded from insensitivity? Certainly we want to focus on what makes the most sense. How can we know we are making sense if we never face insensitivity?
