Did anyone happen to see the documentary on MSNBC last night about Mexicans who tried to come across the border illegally? I can't remember the title but basically it showed different scenarios where people tried to come to America. Many died in the desert, while others were beaten and stoned by Americans at the border. I could not believe it! It reminded me of the Boston Schools video we watched last week. Even police officers at the border were injured. Along the same lines, hospitals close to border are feeling very frustrated by illegal immigrants. Because they are obligated to help everyone that enters their doors, they are treating hundreds if not thousands of illegal immigrants who have no money or insurance. Many American nurses and doctors are losing their jobs because the hospitals are so far in debt. In essence, think about how this is affecting Hispanic children who enter the US with hardships, as well as American children whose parents are losing their jobs. It's very disturbing both ways.
