What is Reddit's opinion of Enrique's Journey: The Story of a Boy's Dangerous Odyssey to Reunite with His Mother?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

> And you aren't aware of the administration drugging kids so they are docile and quiet because you chug Breitbart, T_D, and FOX cock

Why can't you people just be polite when debating something with me? I'll bet you've complained at least once before about Donald Trump "ruining our country's reputation by slinging shit and talking bad about people on twitter" that's what you're doing to me right now. Let's have a discussion with some modicum of respect please. I'm not being mean to you. Maybe snarky, but not mean. Okay?

As to what you said, it sounds like you think we live in some Cyberpunk Dystopia where children are ... held in abandoned walmarts? I'd like to see more on that. Can't wait for it to be "children arrested at a walmart before being taken to a government holding cell"

What is the matter with you? Should these children be allowed to enter our country illegally because they are children? why should it matter if they are children? Are you saying that the adults being imprisoned for crossing illegally is acceptable? That's the only reason I can think for why you would only mention children.

I would recommend you read Enrique's Journey it tells the story of a boy named Enrique from Honduras who comes illegally, attempted several times and being deported I think seven times, to the United States to be with his mother. What he endured on the way to the US was 1,000% more horrendous than anything that happened to him when he got closer to the US border. You should be trying to prevent these children from coming here, and to instead lobby support for increasing their quality of life in their countries. They get abducted and put into sex trafficking. Women are raped. Girls have to wear shirts that say "I have AIDS" on them to scare away rapists. Mexican Police are corrupt. It's very bad stuff, and you aren't helping by virtue signalling on reddit, pal.

that is something we can agree on. that being said we also dont have open borders now, else my students and family members wouldn't have to endure so much to get in.

> People who cross the border illegally are likely to be criminals. While I don't doubt that some of them are good people, the risk of letting anybody through this easily is not worth it.

this is the part i took issue with. of the 216 students currently enlisted in our sheltered classes (don't have enough english to take grad requirements) i can only think of two that are actually bad people. all the rest are just children trying to survive. (and some of them do have legal status, but an estimated 92-95% of them don't.)

if you're interested in learning more and/or like to read i highly recommend either Enrique's Journey (biography of sorts) or We Are Not From Here

my s/o is doing okay, his siblings received legal asylum status last month actually! we're going to try for him at the beginning of october.

Not OP but here's one I read in college that deals with illegal immigration for those who might be interested http://www.amazon.com/Enriques-Journey-Sonia-Nazario/dp/0812971787
