Immigrants

Editor, Times-Union:
Do you believe that history repeats? Only you can decide.
Nearly eighty years ago, the government rounded up a group of families and placed them in concentration camps, with barbed wire and sentry boxes. Most, if not all, were American citizens, owning businesses, homes and sending their children to school. These families could only take what they could carry, leaving behind everything. John Q citizen had their property, their livelihood and their dignity stolen.
Today, once again, the government is hauling off families making them feel like animals in a cage. Most wanted a better life for themselves and their children. Does anybody really care what happens to these families, their children and their property?
How many Americans have experienced a third-world country? Most third-world countries are war-zones, their average age of death is under 50. Why stay, if you have no future, except dying young.
