Good and Why Immigration is not Political
If you don’t understand why immigration is not essentially political you need to go to the movie Nuremberg which has recently opened in theaters. No, the treatment of the immigrant is first and foremost, moral. The political response is only an echo of your own moral self. Very few of us would be on this land if some…
