I watched a movie today. It was a good story and the message was good, but it was really gory in parts. I don't really like it because of it. The story I think is addressing the problem that we currently have in USA with illegal immigrants. I had just read a story about an illegal immigrant that was in the Bellevue Hospital in New York and it chronicled the tragedy that was her life. So, it was interesting to watch the movie from that perspective of just reading the story about this woman. i just wish they wouldn't be so graphic.
I don't know what the answer is about immigration reform, but I do know that many people are trying to figure it out. It is difficult, because we have so many different interests that need to be taken into consideration. the issue is certainly not black and white...of course human interests and needs never are, it is alway complex. I wonder if sometimes we try to solve problems from a position that is too high in the government. But when you take the crime, drug use, smuggling and violence into consideration, I am grateful that we protect our borders. AHHH we need the LORD's help with this, it does not have an easy answer. Really I think what it always boils down to is the criminal element that is in play, and criminals come in many shapes and sizes, but it is easy to blame the poor.
