may day thoughts
Immigration into this country is completely messed up. I've seen firsthand on several occassions how difficult and ridiculous it is to get papers here. And not only that, there's always the risk that you might just get whisked away from your family in the meantime. This New York Times story is just depressing.
I normally don't get behind public rallies, but this is one issue where a show of public solidarity could make a difference. Demonstrations are happening in lots of cities.
