I saw the " Which way home some time ago " believing to have been inspired in your idea, it gave me some peace of mind to know that has the number of informed people grows regarding immigration issues the better will be for everybody. I find quite sad that we do not behave as a whole, a planet, one race,one people and are always trying to stablish differences. We are killing the planet it's resources it's life all because of territory, it always comes to that, who has more, money,schools,hospitals,etc. The planet is dying, let's give it a chance to regenerate, the first step will be to kill the territorial idea.It all started with territory, from pollution to wars. One world, one people. Great reportage.

All attempts to play the pity card on me are lost in the facts that the countries these people come from could care less about improving their situations. We can not take care of our own people much less all those who live in squaller in the third world. If you feel so sorry for these people, go to them and better their conditions at home. Breaking our laws is illegal and it matters not what spin you wish to throw upon it. By doing so, you only show your stupidity concerning the whole issue.

The U.S. has one of the highest birthrates in the western world. But this fact isn't a disadvantage for the U.S. citizens. On the contrary, it's an advantage. The ancient pyramid is balanced. No one has to expect a bad pension. AND: the economy of our industrial nations, espiacally the us economy, bases on the work of "modern slaves" from the third world. They are working in the us, for example, as harvesters. A work that most of the folks in our society would not exercise. Of course it's impossible that engineers immigrate, but the uneducated workers are also important. Our prejudices over this people are an effect of wrong immigration policy. We have restructure the integration of the immigrants in the western society. "They take our jobs!". This is one of the poorest arguments. What do they say? "They took our country, our lifestyle!" Was the population in africa poor and sick before we came? No, they were satisfied. They had all they needed. The only reason, why they try to cross the borders of the EU and the us, is, that we forced them to take our economic system. And everyone needs a place in this system. We taught them to reach the best you can get. Are they as different to us as a lot of people think? Mabe their religion or culture is not ours, but both of us want the same. A high life quality. This is because walls are built: We don't want to see that this poeple are closer to us as we want. We are in fear of the consequences of our behave in the past. But would we not take this effort upon ourselves to cross the border to the holy land? I think this article is a wonderful mirror of reality. It indicades how much pain a human is willing to stand. The text is well written and it's giving a small look into the journey of the "illegals". But, in my opinion, I missed a taste of facts and numbers substantiate the statments.

I just read "la linea", a book about a young boy trying to cross la linea. I like it because it tells you how it is. The author didn't try to cover up the extreme hardships that they go through. I keep trying to look up pictures and info on the "mata gente", a train that takes people north. I really need a picture, but I cn't find ANY! Hey, great job!

As can be seen on this thread, if you give people like Michael enough rope... LOL – as an Australian male, I find Michael offensive and questionable altogether! ;)

I think he should do some more research. As for the photos and story, I think you did a great job Jacquelyn. Thank you.
