Tonight I watched the documentary "Documented" and the subject being discussed here is immigration. The document is a touching story of a boy who came here from Philippines when he was 12 years old and has now lived in the USA for over 18 years. The documentary brings front and center a critical dimension of immigration and that is the perspective of a person who is considered as illegal under the current laws in the book and has yet been acknowledged by the rest of the society to be a productive contributor.
Regardless of one's view on the current situation, there is no denying that there is something is not going right. One can only hope that we have not lost that window of opportunity to address the problem by bringing to bear the basic sense of dignity and fairness with which most Americans conduct themselves.
